Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Negro Swan is the fourth studio album (sixth overall) by singer-songwriter and producer, Dev Hynes under his Blood Orange mantle.A diaphanous and wispy Alternative R&B record. It delves heavily into themes of gender, sexuality, depression and alienation. With themes of surviving childhood trauma, the anxieties of queer folk and people of colour and the concept of self-love, it would be a development of the sound Dev had formulated on his previous record Freetown Sound and would contain more noted features from artists such as Project Pat and Janet Mock, who would do several spoken interludes on the album.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) Tracklist "Orlando" (3:03) "Saint" (3:12) "Take Your Time" (2:51) "Hope" (4:00) "Jewelry" (4:32) "Family" (0:42) "Charcoal Baby" (4:02) "Vulture Baby" (1:14) "Chewing Gum" (4:24) "Holy Will" (4:22) "Dagenham Dream" (2:45) "Nappy Wonder" (2:38) "Runnin'" (3:55) "Out of Your League" "Minetta Creek" (1:58) "Smoke" (3:33)

Bullied into Depression
 Negro Swan (Music) / int_5817ea56
comment
Bullied into Depression: "Orlando" and "Dagenham Dream" are about Dev's personal experiences with bullying and the poor self-image that resulted from it. "Charcoal Baby" is also considered this mixed with a bit of Self-Empowerment Anthem, given that Dev has said that the track is "a celebration of black skin."

comment
A Wild Rapper Appears!: An odd variation, in which, rapper Puff Daddy appears on the track "Hope", but only there to perform ad libs and the lyric "Bring hope / I still smile when you come around" and a spoken interlude near the end of the track. "Chewing Gum" plays this straight with A$AP Rocky and Project Pat appearing to rap on the track.
