Now we’re back to more conventional rnb with PINK + WHITE with a hazy hop along beat and silky smooth vocal. Sometimes I think about how weird it is that a guy with one album made SUCH an impact on the landscape with people waiting on a next album like it was the most important thing but then he opens his mouth, the track plays and it all kind of makes sense. Like it’s him just messing around on a electric guitar and it’s in the moment, this is just beautiful. It almost seems like a stream of consciousness, nothing written down and he’s just riffing. This sounds so sweet, oh my. ‘We didn’t give a fuck back then, I ain’t a kid no more, we’ll never be kids again’ - SO GOOD. Oh wow now we’ve gone all shimmery shoegaze indie on IVY. Oh this has taken a really nice turn, yeah okay I’m on board with this. It’s a very risky opener and currently I’m not sure how it works but this is one song in so I’m going to give it a benefit of the doubt. It feels at times a little pixie esque punk influenced. Ocean name checks Trayvon Martin early with a powerful line ‘rip trayvon, that n**** look just like me*. The beat is slow low key but the high pitched distorted vocals actually work well with it. Wow, so this does not sound like your traditional opener to a long LONG awaited album, not gonna lie NIKE feels like a closer but hey, I guess all bets are off with this cause its Frank Ocean and he plays by his own mfin tune. So let’s jump right in because damn we have waited SO long…
Boys don’t cry? More like boy who cried wolf (AM I RIGHT?!)īut anyway, all hilarious jokes and insights aside Ocean came through with the visual project Endless and now Blond, the new album from Frank Ocean. It’s been four long hard years since Channel Orange and we’ve been teased and disappointed and betrayed over the last year with promises of new material when nothing materalized.
