🧠 Deep Dive

Devonté Hynes has reclaimed the spotlight with “The Field,” a lush electro-soul and dream-pop track enlivened by layered vocals from Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar, Tariq Al‑Sabir, and Eva Tolkin. A prominent sample from Vini Reilly’s guitar in The Durutti Column’s “Sing to Me” adds nostalgic texture to the song’s reflective atmosphere.
