Yep, another Odd Future post.
This time it's R'n'B singer Frank Ocean, I think that it's probably the first R'n'B album I've done in this challenge.
'Novacane' is without a doubt the best song on this EP, but one of the most interesting aspects about this EP is the songs that Ocean decided to sing over. For example when most rapper or R'n'B artists release an EP, mixtape or 'Street' album, they generally seem to rap over other artists beats within their own genres. On this EP the lyrics are written and sung over songs by artists such as MGMT, Coldplay, Radiohead and the Eagled which is one of the things that make Frank Ocean such an interesting artist. Since this album was released, Ocean has worked with Kanye West and Jay-Z on 'Watch the Throne', Beyonce and Pharrell Williams, so he must be doing something right.
Until tomorrow.....
