Video: Blood Orange, “Sutphin Boulevard”

July 13, 2011


Essex-raised, Brooklyn-based Blood Orange exudes such a wicked cool, filmed here performing "Sutphin Boulevard" for a drag bar audience, the tough and glamourous voguers that he told Dollars to Pounds inspired the song's escapism. He has a great way of resting his forearm on the mic stand. At exactly three minutes in there's a subtle glimpse of Fourth of July fireworks, presumably shot from Sutphin Blvd. in Queens, and the explosions peek between buildings like stars you're only starting to see. His Coastal Grooves full-length comes out August 8th. (via pitchfork)
