BLOOD ORANGE “I’m Sorry We Lied” directed by ABTEEN BAGHERI.
Night-riding motorcyclist Devonté Hynes, AKA Blood Orange, succumbs to a femme fatale in an 80’s synth-driven instant. While writing and producing for the likes of Florence Welch and Solange Knowles, Hynes pieced together the distinctive retro-infused R&B of Blood Orange, releasing the Coastal Grooves album last summer. “I’m obsessed with the obsession with the 50s and 60s that people had in the 80s,” explains Hynes. “Grease, Billy Idol, Happy Days. It might have been the last time people were cool.”
The video was shot over two days along the one-mile Main Street strip of the small desert town of Barstow, California. About Hyne’s track filmmaker Bagheri says,“There was something inherently cinematic about it… It was like an updated, demented 80s pop soundtrack, dark with catchy melodies.”
