Over the weekend, Dev Hynes promised a new Blood Orange song called "Sandra's Smile", posting a notebook containing the song's lyrics (see below). Today, Disco Naïveté points out, he's released the track. Listen via Spotify above, or hear it on Apple Music.

The "Sandra" of the title is Sandra Bland, the African-American woman who died in police custody in a Texas jail in July. The lyrics reference Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin.

Update 10 a.m. ET: Hynes has now released the "Sandra's Smile" music video. Directed by Hynes, it features appearances from the Waffle Crew, Junglepussy, and Ian Isiah.

Hynes has also announced his first U.S. show of the year. It takes place on December 12 at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. The show is being billed as "Blood Orange and Friends" and will feature the premiere of new material, in addition to selections from Hynes' back catalog. Update (11/17 11:45 a.m. EST:) In the wake of the sold-out evening show, Hynes has added a matinée performance for 3 p.m. the same day, also featuring special guest performers.

Proceeds go to the Opus 118 Harlem School of Music. Hynes said of the school in a statement:

Playing music saved my life; if it wasn't for the chance to play cello or piano when I was a kid growing up in Essex, I shudder to think where I'd be right now. At this point in my life, all that matters to me is giving back to communities and making people happy, so I have decided to put on a fun night of performances at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem that is hopefully affordable to all, with all proceeds going to the Opus 118 Harlem School of Music. New York City, let's have some fun!
