Devonté Hynes finds beauty in pain
How do you decide which project a song is best for?
Usually a feeling. I also write in such a weird way. I kind of write everything at once. I don't mean at once, in, like, a moment. I mean everything is kind of like a big picture, and it's being filled in. It's rarely like, “Here's a song.” It's like … I have tracks 1-16, and I'm slowly working on all of them to fill up a picture. So there's different ones of that. There's another Blood Orange album that isn't leftover tracks.
