It's term-break week in Berlin, so Peak Time is back in New York, with guest host Harley Brown holding down the studio. On today's episode we'll hear a conversation between _Peak Time_ correspondent Alex Frank and R&B/pop singer, producer and composer Dev Hynes. In projects such as dance-punk band Test Icicles, Lightspeed Champion and the electronic soul and R&B-focused Blood Orange, Hynes – a Londoner who calls NYC home – has established himself as one of the avant-pop landscape's most versatile and intriguing voices. Alex talks to Dev about the process of finding his voice in a chaotic world and the two break down the deeply personal themes and motives of the new Blood Orange album, _Negro Swan_. Later in the show, Harley Brown welcomes the NYC-based body-positive designer Becca McCharen-Tran of Chromat.
