Following the release of his album, "Essex Honey," Blood Orange has dropped a similarly-titled new song that blends genres.

Blood Orange is an artist who has never shied away from experimenting with sounds. The album Essex Honey was a huge success with fans. Now, the song "Essex_Honey.mp3" has been released, and it is another successful bout of experimentation for the artist. With this track, we get sparse vocals throughout the five-minute runtime. Meanwhile, the instrumental itself bounces between electronic and jazz, making for a unique first-time listening experience. The track is, very simply, a vibe, and we definitely recommend you check it out.

Release Date: May 29, 2026

Genre: R&B, Electronic, Jazz

Quotable Lyrics from Essex_Honey.mp3

Hunt down a melody
How did you save your life?
I saw when you couldn't survive
What did they teach you?
Face, walk, or hiding in their space?
