Así como la foto de arriba, pueden ver todas entrando aquí . El disco más reciente de Frank Ocean se titula Channel Orange y fue primer lugar [...]

Someone is suddenly becoming the grumpy old (former) rap guy and that someone would be Andre 3000. In his statement released to Spin, one half of Outkast took a break [...] The post Andre 3000 Doesn't Give A Damn About That "Pink Matter" Remix appeared first on The Smoking Section .

It's here. Big Boi drops a gem of a verse on Frank Ocean's track featuring Andre 3000, off Channel Orange. Let's hope 2013 is the year that Outkast actually decides to make some music. 

• Big Boi - Pink Matter Remix (Dirty)

For all those who continue to light a candle every night in the hopes of a Outkast reunion, it probably comes as a teasing act of cruelty that Big Boi would momentarily sort of make that dream come true by invading Frank Ocean 's previously Andre 3000-laced "Pink Matter" . Then again, what a treat it is to have the ability to now spend hours and days endlessly indulging in one of Channel Orange 's best cuts (and should-be future singles)-a gorgeously poetic (and quite Stevie Wonder-ian) space-funk ballad [...]

New remix from Frank Ocean features Andre 3000 and Big Boi. Adding fuel to the fire of an Outkast reunion is this new remix of "Pink Matter" by Frank Ocean that features both Outkast members , Andre 3000 and Big Boi . The remix is [...]

Look at that title. Just look at it. Regardless of how the meal is presented, merely digesting the word "OutKast" allows birds to chirp louder, food to taste better and [...] The post Frank Ocean Ft. OutKast - "Pink Matter" (Remix) appeared first on The Smoking Section .

Frank Ocean - Channel Orange // “What was your favourite part?” A workmate inquired about my recent trip home to Oz. One might think a typical answer would include “sunshine, family, the beach” etc. Well… 1) The sun greeted me with 3rd degree burns within four hours of my arrival. 2) Family time is great, but is always accompanied by a heavy dose of Christmas dysfunction, which perhaps has nothing to do with Christmas at all. 3) The ocean is full of life-threatening predators that you suddenly become [...]

Before channel ORANGE 's debut, Frank Ocean planned to feature Outkast rappers Andre 3000 and Big Boi in his slinky ballad, "Pink Matter"; marking the first appearance of Outkast in almost six years. Yet, in the final cut, Andre 3000 was the only one to be on the song with him rapping and playing the guitar. In a series of twitter conversations, Big Boi revealed that he wasn't on the song because Andre 3000 didn't want an Outkast reunion to happen on someone else's album. It seems like Andre 3000 [...]

The last out of ten top twenty lists on 200 Words . I’m very happy to finish the year off in style with  a list that is the most important and fun one: the list of best albums. I think that this list is most important because it shows and praises artists’ ability to deliver a complete work, something finished, or as in some cases: something so very personal. It’s been a great year and looking back at all the albums that were released I tried to relive my first times hearing the album, going down a small [...]

(31) Days of Good: 2012 has come to an end.  Between the huge amount of good music this year and a much needed vacation, I have once again failed to recognize everything 2012 had to offer.  Thanks to Spotify though, you can at least take a look at the 500+ tracks I believe to be the year's best.  But before I close things out, I still need to talk about one more artist and track.  Frank Ocean's c hannel Orange was my biggest surprise of the year.  I hate most RnB, but Ocean isn't your typical RnB artist.

Frank Ocean crafted one of the most striking albums of 2012- to say that his effort has been recognized and praised would be a gross understatement. Channel Orange is one of the most talked about records of the year, so it’s really no surprise that Quentin Tarantino commissioned Ocean to write a song for his latest film, Django Unchained . Unfortunately, the track didn’t make it into the soundtrack and Tarantino released a statement last month, explaining why: "Frank Ocean wrote a fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every [...]

When the album stream for Channel Orange was posted online, the internet stopped. Everyone seemed hit play at the exact same time and, about an hour later, Frank Ocean was untouchable.  Ocean ’s past is a star-studded muck of premature announcements, tension from record labels, and the overwhelming response from his infamous letter , which mentioned a relationship he had with another man when he was younger. Channel Orange came exactly when Frank Ocean needed an R&B [...]

ok. So these are the albums that nearly made my top 10 albums of 2012. As I've spoken about on the facebook page, I've decided to make the top 10 just Australian albums. The past year has seen a big shift for maamf, with the focus now purely on local stuff (hint hint to those [...]

The buzz around Frank Ocean before Channel Orange was unhurried and casual, with a sense of expectancy in the wake of his debut LP “Nostalgia Ultra”, though he was essentially still only known as the emotional grounding in the “Odd Future” Collective.  It was “that” Tumblr post that changed everything, as Ocean’s divulgence of sexuality two weeks before release automatically placed the record under the spotlight; it’s interpretable lyrics becoming one of the many aspects that make this record unmatched by it’s peers, innovative in a previously lyrically restrictive genre. Channel Orange [...]

We're all going to die on December 21, which is fine. Nothing like going down in a big, fiery blaze because some long-dead culture decided December 21, 2012 was the [...] The post The 12 Other Albums You Should've Listened to This Year appeared first on The Smoking Section .

We've spent this week doing more figurative wrapping up of the year than we have literally wrapping golds, frankincenses and myrrhs, with both our Shows of 2012 and Records of 2012 features now alive and kicking, even if this year itself only has less than a couple weeks left in its legs. Here's hoping you've been able to vicariously experience evenings from the former category through us if you couldn't make them for whatever reason, though it's the latter that we're here centralising our attentions upon. As documentations of a determined time, records are the one [...]

• Dotsandashes - Anika – End Of The World

You've doubtless already made up your mind on what were, subjectively (though this may perhaps be mistaken for a narcissistic objectively as is below), the records to have ultimately defined the year that was 2012. Personally, I wouldn't deem it to have been the best of years and though not the worst of years either, the dispersion of opinion on the top ones, twos, and various other fews across the board appears to reflect this. My maths is a little haphazard at the best of times – read on and you'll discover more on that – but the [...]

Frank Ocean might have had an amazing year that featured, among other things, the release of his (perfect) proper debut,  Channel Orange . But the Grammy-nominated singer isn't exactly  that excited about putting out a follow-up. At least, that's the gist of his recent interview with  The Guardian , in which he explains that  Channel Orange could very well be his final album. Yes, you read that correctly. “I focus on both sonics and story, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn [...]
