Theophilus London Ft. Devonte Hynes & Solange Knowles, “Flying Overseas” (MP3)

What a sweet and romantic song, if this song was fabric it would be pastel pink tulle wrapped around orchids, weeds with a splash of light blue flowers. Who knew such collaborations could actually happen right? I was losing all faith in people when they were collaborating because let’s face it, someone is always competing but not here, no no.
