If I'm not really into RnB but I like this song is this album worth listening to?

[u/xxtoejamfootballxx]

This song borrows heavily from "Here, There, and Everywhere" by the Beatles and it works incredibly well.

I was obsessed with this album for about 3 months after it dropped. I have probably listened to it over 50 times from start to finish. Such an amazing work of art.

Albums amazing, psychedelic pop lmao?

I also think that Seigfried is another standout track on this album. Similar to other songs from Blonde, Frank took inspiration from Elliott Smith's Fond Farewell while writing the lyrics to many of the songs on the album.

This is not my life, it's just a fond farewell to a friend.

An article that I read during Blonde's release had a really interesting insight into the relationship between Ocean and Smith's work:

Much like Ocean, Smith was something of an enigma. Though he's commonly described as being a singer-songwriter, his entire musical discography is slightly hard to define. It leaps from the deeply intimate, lo-fi, hushed confessionals of his earlier albums to being experimental, creatively unpredictable, and stunning on a large scale.

Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean (born October 28, 1987) is an American singer/songwriter and member of the gleefully hedonistic hip-hop collective OFWGKTA. He was born Christopher Edwin Breaux in Long Beach, California. He has helped pen tracks for Justin Bieber, John Legend, Brandy, and Beyonce Knowles over the last few years. In 2011, Ocean released his debut mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra, for free via his Tumblr.

Venting about his decision to drop the record his own way, he took to Twitter on March 1, 2011: "i. did. this. not ISLAND DEF JAM. that's why you see no label logo on the artwork that I DID. guess its my fault for trusting my dumbass lawyer and signing my career over to a failing company. fuck Def Jam & any company that goes the length of signing a kid with dreams & talent w/ no intention of following through. fuck em. now back to my day. i want some oatmeal and toast. brunch swag."

As a member of the Odd Future (OFWGKTA) collective, his sound is distinctively soulful/r&b influenced, yet done in a way that could pass for something totally different. As Tyler, the Creator states, “It’s Smooth Ass Music About Bitches, Relationships And Being A Rich Young Nigga…But In A Swagged Out Way.”

Ocean was evacuated from the University of New Orleans to Los Angeles, California just as Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005, and stayed in Los Angeles to pursue a music career. Ocean joined Los Angeles based collective OFWGKTA, who he met through mutual friends, at the end of 2009. In the end of 2009, he met Tricky Stewart, who helped Ocean sign a contract with Def Jam Recordings as an artist, however, he was initially unable to build a relationship with the company. In 2010, he changed his name from Christopher "Lonny" Breaux to Christopher Francis Ocean via a legal website. In an April 2011 interview, Ocean intimated that his relationship with Def Jam has strengthened since the release of his mixtape. On April 28, 2011, Ocean was arrested on unspecified charges by the LAPD, and was released on the morning after on April 29, 2011. Ocean joined his OFWGKTA bandmates for the first time on tour from May 12 to May 19, 2011. On May 31, 2011, Def Jam released the single Novacane on iTunes soon followed by Swim Good Taken from his mixtape Nostalgia, ULTRA. His first 'proper' album, Channel Orange was released on July 17th, 2012. In 2016, He released the visual album Endless alongside his second studio album Blonde, following several years of delays. Blonde debuted at number one in the United States and United Kingdom. Read more on Last.fm.

This album is awesome. Solo is my personal favourite, the way he divides songs into 2 parts and still makes it work is pretty amazing.

[u/try_an0ther]

Now that I listen to it again, it reminds me a lot of songs from James Blake. Googling both name gave me this cover: https://twitter.com/thefader/status/864118518811197440/video/1

Slim K's Chopped and Screwed version is great too.

The whole chopped and screwed album is one of my favorites.
