Our take
by Angus
More a companion–piece mixtape to 2018’s ‘Negro Swan’ than an outright album, Angel’s Pulse scans as a series of vignettes to accompany the aforementioned album, to bookend it with a degree of hope. It’s the sound of the lived events of a thirty–something gay black man living in modern day America, his thoughts, emotions and experiences laid out against a musical backdrop of modern R&B and neo–soul.
There’s also laments for friends passed and ruminations on a presently ultra–political America. But chiefly, Angel’s Pulse stands as a collection of sketches recorded all around the world, and that’s exactly how it sounds. It’s not intended to be especially cohesive but more like a 32 minute series of diary entries, a look inside Devonte Hynes’ mind.
