Freetown Sound, the new album by Blood Orange (aka Devonté Hynes), was due out this Friday, July 1, but last night he released the album digitally a few days early and now he’s shared the video for “Augustine.” It features Hynes performing the song with friends in parks, on rooftops, and elsewhere. Both watch the video and stream the album below.

Freetown Sound contains 17 tracks and is the follow-up to 2013’s Cupid Deluxe. The CD and LP version of the album is out a little later, on August 19. The deluxe edition of the album comes with a double-sided 24x36 poster and a bonus 10-inch with two additional non-album tracks, “Do You See My Skin Through the Flames” and “Sandra’s Smile.” The album features such guests as Nelly Furtado, Carly Rae Jepsen, BEA1991, Debbie Harry, Adam Bainbridge (a.k.a. Kindness), Empress Of, Ian Isiah, Kelsey Lu, Jason Arce, Ava Raiin, Bryndon Cook (a.k.a. Starchild) and Patrick Wimberly, and Aaron Maine (a.k.a. Porches).
