“What’s random here isn’t the fact that fellow Brooklynites Theophilus London and Dev Hynes, aka Blood Orange, have collaborated. They have a like-minded approach to music — in a way — and are both hipster fashion lovers. But what’s kind of strange here is that they have decided to cover Pharrell’s bedroom-ready In My Mind single, “Take It Off (Dim the Lights).” It’s not that it isn’t good, because it is. I’d just rather hear London’s song with ASAP Rocky, “Big Spender,” even if this cover is pretty solid.”
