"Orlando" is the opening track to Blood Orange's sixth studio album "Negro Swan". For an interview with Pitchfork in which he spoke about each song on "Negro Swan", Dev Hynes provided insight into the opening track: Pitchfork: This eases listeners into the album in a very gentle way. Dev Hynes: That one’s interesting because it’s the first and only time I tried an experiment that was like: What would Marvin Gaye do? He would have his words written and know a refrain or two, but everything else was a one-take, just creating melodies up.
