Previously only available as a cassette sold at two Blood Orange & Friends benefit shows that took place last month, the soothing Blood Orange and Nelly Furtado collaboration "Hadron Collider" has finally made its way online.
The track is a mesmerizingly subdued ballad that plays to both artists' strengths and easily the best thing Furtado has done in years. Her recognizable vocals loft over the delicate keys with Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) add harmonic support through his hushed delivery and R&B-inspired electronic production.
This is a fantastic piece of artistry that hopefully leads to more collaborations from these two talents.
