I’m not too sure when I first heard of Frank Ocean; it may have been around 2012, while working in retail and hearing “Thinkin Bout You” on the speakers at work. Either way, it was a slow burn into my love for him, as I had pretty much only heard that one song, and not much else. I eventually gave in and bought channel ORANGE and very quickly fell in love with the album, and Ocean, in general.

I love so much about Frank Ocean; his lyricism, his vocals, his production. Though he’s not released a ton of music to date, I still devour everything he releases, and he’s yet to disappoint me. I truly think that Blonded is one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to, and still find it on heavy rotation even years later.
