I'm the kind of person who rejects new artists as 'crap' and their music as variants of whats 'already out there' so whenever I see people tweet or hear them talk about the latest newbie on the scene I just ignore it cos really, these are the same people that listen to OG Niki and the like...
So anyways, I was chatting to my friend Isaac on Friday night and he was like:
'Have you heard of Frank Ocean?'
and my response was like
'Frank-and-the-what-now?''I thought he was talking about English Frank (who I still haven't listened to)
and he was like
'Nah, you HAVE to listen to him. He's sick!' *Ize was playing him in the background*
and I was like
'Hmmm, he sounds like he sings all them 'love hurts and is so painful' kinda songs'
*almost shouting at me*
'Nah, not AT ALL...trust me, you have to listen to him!'
To placate him, I agreed to checking Frank O out the next time I was online...which happened to be approx. 6 mins later.
I YouTubed him and within the first 30 seconds of Novacane I knew that he would become that guy for the foreseeable future...
For the first time in ages, I was actually annoyed that LimeWire had shut up shop...
The next day...
I was on Bobbi Wande 's blog (which is oh-so-sick) and he posted a link to Frank Oceans mixtape... I can't lie, it felt like Christmas.
But anyways, to make a long story a little less long:
Frank Ocean is the ish
and
I have not stopped playing 'Nostalgia/Ultra' since last week, I know about 80% of the lyrics
and
if he comes to London, imma be in the front row, harmonising along to Songs for Women
Frank Ocean - you have just gained yourself a fan!
