Freetown Sound is the third album by Dev Hynes (recording as Blood Orange). The album features Carly Rae Jepsen, Zuri Marley, Debbie Harry, Nelly Furtado, writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, slam poet Ashlee Haze, and others.
Freetown Sound takes its name from Freetown, Sierra Leone, where Hynes' father was born.
When he first announced the album's release on Instagram, Hynes wrote that the album was intended for those who had been told they were "not black enough, too black, too queer, not queer the right way."
