Blood Orange - Jewelry

Dev Hynes is making sure our souls are eating good. Hours after the release of 'Charcoal Baby', we're being adorned by 'Jewelry'. Already one of my fave visuals of the year: Janet Mock stomping while delivering a word, slow-mo dancing with collaborator Ian Isiah and a rapturous cover-art-come-to-life moment. Directed by Hynes, the video is a sublime ode to self-care and black joy.

Suffice to say we're most ready for 'Negro Swan' (out August 24).
