O álbum Channel Orange ajudou a consolidar Frank Ocean como um dos nomes de maior influência no cenário atual de R&B. Para continuar a divulgação de seu segundo álbum, que tem composições que misturam elementos de rap, música eletrônica, soul e pop, o cantor lançou o videoclipe da música “Lost”, que é uma das mais acessíveis do álbum. Dirigido por Francisco Soriano, o clipe exibe imagens de viagens de Ocean por vários lugares, como Dubai, Paris e Tóquio. Mesmo com um conceito simples, o vídeo funciona perfeitamente para [...]

Thank you, Frank Ocean . The 20/20 Experience would not be what it is if it had not been for Channel Orange . In no way am I saying that the N'Sync -ster's latest album ripped anything off. No, but a lot of ideas on The 20/20 Experience are based in some of the bold approaches Frank Ocean took in the R&B genre that would not have been welcome without the success of Channel [...]

Electro-Soul in a New Era Recent years have seen a resurgence of soul music, as artists such as The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Rhye have brought soul sensibilities into the contemporary fold. As passionate croons meld with modern styles and production, it becomes increasingly exciting to see what new talents may enter the fray. Banks is exactly that. The Los Angeles-based singer draws on the soulful past, but rather than get lost in history she envelops her dark, lustful voice in evocative electronic production. Banks, who is now signed to IAMSOUND, has little on offer, but [...]

I made a mixtape with all the songs that you hate. Besides being the new best mixtape name since Jack Mannequin's "The Mixtape, that lyric has stayed with me ever since first hearing Australia's San Cisco low-fi indie pop jam "Beach" and compelled me to push repeat for most of December. The band stopped by Dermot O'Leary's BBC Radio 2 show to perform the single (at the 6:00 minute mark) and a cover of Frank Ocean's "Forrest Gump. (at the 18:15 minute mark). I'm a fan. Listen below.

Quite often brevitiy is in the soul of wit. The three lads from PDR have always been fans of simplicity and the minimalistic approach to grooving and guitar-driven new wave pop. That's probably one reason, why they renamed themselves from PUNK'D ROYAL to the shorter form. But it might also mark a new start for The post NBHAP Exclusive: Guestmix #13 - PDR appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

An unreleased song from Ocean's channel ORANGE sessions, "Eyes Like Sky" will restore your faith in Frank Ocean if it was ever in question. Coming in with a guitar riff that will hook you immediately, Frank shows us a non-R&B side to his musical talent that we have seen very little of. The song tells the story [...]

R'n'B 'wunderkind' FRANK OCEAN recently published a brand new song named Wise Man.

The director on the new tune: "FRANK OCEAN wrote a fantastic ballad that was truly

Not sure how I missed this when it dropped in July. Probably because of the ginormous amount of Frank Ocean remixes going around this summer.. especially Thinkin Bout You. I can claim I lost it in the shuffle.. or that I did hear but wasn’t feeling it at the time? The fact is I dig this. It’s cool. I love the DIYness about the whole operation. Technology has enabled amazing things in our day. Take for example our hero, Yuna, who recorded this song and video in her home in LA and put it out for the world. Chuch

Frank Ocean - Channel Orange (Review) The release of Frank Ocean ’s debut LP Channel Orange has no doubt been one of the most talked about albums of the summer. Throughout the entire week I kept hearing about his sexuality and what this means for Hip Hop, and quite frankly I couldn’t care less what Mr Ocean does in the privacy of his home and how homophobia in the Hip Hop world would receive him. At the end of the day I first fell in love with Frank Ocean solely for his music and his almost liberating take on [...]

Look out for LYFSTYL’s full review in a few days. Bonus: Frank Ocean also performed on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight. Enjoy!
What a jam! A taste of evening in the Summer time. "Sweet Life" was co-written by Pharrell Williams, and you can feel that smooth, classic flavour in the mix. Frank Ocean has really grown on me - I always enjoyed his vocal, but lately it's the intricacies in his melodies and flow that I've been appreciating, as well as the raw emotion that he radiates through song. Thanks for making classy r&b, Frank. • FRANK OCEAN [FB] • PHARRELL WILLIAMS [FB] • DOWNLOAD | Frank Ocean - Sweet [...]
