Frank Ocean is someone who we as the public are just taking an interest in due to his Mixtape called Nostalgia, Ultra that was released in February and because of its success it was turned into an EP, Nostalgia, Ultra includes his song Novacane which can be heard all over the radio now. However, Frank Ocean did not just show up overnight, instead he was a songwriter before the release of his own EP and has written songs for singers like Justin Bieber, Jay-Z and Beyonce. The Nostalgia, Ultra includes 14 songs even though 4 of them are about 20 seconds long and are just the simple sound of flipping a tape over and then pressing play. Frank Ocean’s EP brings a new a refreshing sound that has been missing from a majority of Hip Hop and R&B songs lately, his lyrics consist of catchy hooks but not for songs that have been overly simplified but instead for ones with meaning and striking emotion. The majority of the songs on the EP are love songs some that have a more sorrow and nostalgic outlook on love and break ups, while others have a more upbeat sound that bring back emotions of your first love. Some of my favorite songs include “We all try,” “Lovecrimes,” and “Songs for women.” To listen to his music go to http://www.datpiff.com/Frank-Ocean-Nostalgia-Ultra-mixtape.210282.html.
