now playing: Frank Ocean - Nature Feels
This is new. Or not really. Or yes it is. It's r&b with a little twist. Or that's how I'd put it. At first I wasn't really sure what to think about Frank Ocean but having listened to the entire Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape I think it is justified to say that we're talking about one of the best r&b albums in 2011. You're not going to hear the typical oh-baby-how-much-I-love-you / my-heart-is-broken-because-my-baby-left-me kind of lyrics. There are love stories but he sings of, for example, lovecrimes and divorces. Very refreshing to me. Smart remixes, strong lyrics and a good voice make a nice package. I read somewhere that Nostalgia, Ultra could do the same thing to Frank Ocean as can't remember which album did to Drake. I hope Ocean will get the recognition he deserves but let's not hope he'll start doing Drake-like music (no offense). So, check it out. Free download here.
