As Solange and Sky Ferreira have been collecting accolades for exploring new musical territories, their shared collaborator, Dev Hynes, has pocketed his share of buzz too. But Hynes isn’t always behind the scenes as a producer. He’s been making some great music of his own for a while under the monikers Lightspeed Champion and Blood Orange (issued under the latter, “Dinner” was one of Popservations’ Top 100 Tracks of 2011).

A couple of weeks ago, Hynes took an evening off from working on others’ projects to record a cover of Kindness’ disco-funk jam, “Cyan” (he and Adam Bainbridge are close pals). If the drums sound familiar, they should. Hynes cops to copy-and-pasting elements from Ferreira’s “Everything Is Embarrassing” for his pastel recoloring of “Cyan.” Tracy Antonopoulos (Cable) contributes backing vocals.
