It’s just stuff that isn’t quite good enough to be an official release, which, considering Frank Ocean, is pretty good. Link info: Frank Ocean - unreleased, MISC. This is a collection of previously unreleased material that was eventually released as a limited edition vinyl record as “unreleased, MISC.” Since I think it’s kind of unfair that it was released as a limited vinyl copy and I believe all Frank Ocean fans do deserve to be able to listen to all his work, I’ve uploaded it for you here, whether that’s legal or not, I don’t know for sure. Well, the next step is: unreleased, MISC. You’ve thoroughly digested channel ORANGE and nostalgia, ULTRA. Seriously, some of the best Frank Ocean songs he’s made.Īlright, you’re hungry for more. Here are a few samples other than the ones I’ve already listed: On this mixtape, the highs are very high, the lows are at least decent if less memorable than the others. Some tracks on this mixtape easily match up to songs on Channel Orange, in fact, the song Strawberry Swing ( link) is actually my favorite Frank Ocean song. It’s got more heterosexual themes in it, and it’s a collection of original tracks and songs including sampling, most notably on the song Electric Feel. Link info: Frank Ocean - nostalgia, ULTRA.

He actually released it for free, so if you want to download it, I created a nice link for you to do it directly from this post: While it doesn’t quite match up to channel ORANGE, this mixtape is really, really good. Nostalgia, ULTRA is perhaps one of the best mixtapes I have ever heard. It perplexes me that channel ORANGE is so popular (deservedly) at 420,000 listeners, his singles are raking in hundreds of thousands of listeners themselves, yet his fantastic tape, nostalgia, ULTRA slides under the radar. These are last.fm listening trends for Frank Ocean. I could toss down every song from the album as a sample, but here are 3 that I particularly like: The album itself seems to be crafted with love. The album explores a variety of themes, but I feel it delves most deeply when discussing love, longing, sexuality, and having those feelings remain unrequited. Some great albums have a noticeable decline in quality or peaks and dips, but channel ORANGE is fantastic from the “booting up” of a game system in “start” to the crunching of footsteps in “End.” The album itself is called “channel ORANGE,” referring to the “neurological phenomenon grapheme–color synesthesia and the color he perceived during the summer he first fell in love.” - Wikipedia. It’s ridiculously sexy, it’s catchy yet unique, and despite having 17 tracks, I find myself wanting more at the end. Let’s hit the ground running, and start with his best work yet, channel ORANGE.Ĭhannel ORANGE is simply a masterpiece.
I’ll try to just focus on the music for the remainder of this post. Where legal, I’ll sprinkle in some download links so you can start listening to him as soon as you read this post.įrank is a member of Odd Future, which may turn you away because the rest of his group headed by Tyler, The Creator is pretty goofy, but Frank Ocean is R&B, while the rest of Odd Future are Hip-Hop artists. He’s got a lot of great stuff, but we should start with his best and work our way down from there. Instead of talking about his albums by release date, I’m going to talk about them in order of which I recommend you listen to them. He’s one of my favorite artists, and it seems no matter what he puts out, it’s gold. The man is already an R&B legend, coming out with a modern classic of an album in 2012 with channel ORANGE.
