So this is not actually a discovery for me, been a fan of his since I first heard his Nostalgia Ultra mixtape but I thought this thread was the best place to post this. Frank Ocean is just special. I'm not that big of an R+B fan in general so it's surprising that this album struck me as much as it did. With his first true full length, channel ORANGE, Ocean has left us with a classic for a generation. He's a brilliant songwriter/composer with a voice echoing Stevie (when I first heard "Sweet Life" I thought it was Stevie!). He's got his Odd Future swag but can also command a stage in front of an orchestra as he did on Fallon a couple nights ago (see clips on Youtube). The production on the record is nothing short of brilliant seamlessly moving from sweeping strings to hard progressive jazz breaks to radio static background to strip club groove to metal guitar...but at it's core it's soulful swag R+B and a very special record. So....discover Frank Ocean "channel ORANGE" |
