Yesterday, Frank Ocean's debut album was released on iTunes (which was a week earlier than the expected release date). Within the passed few weeks there has been a lot of talk about Frank Ocean because he casually came out as a gay man on his blog. For the hip-hop industry, something like this is a major step. There has not been much negative criticism about Ocean for coming out, his peers actually have been openly supporting him. This is what life is about- supporting and encouraging others to be their selves.
I have listened to Channel Orange a few times since I bought it last night, and this album is simply genius. Frank Ocean can seriously write and sing. Every song on this album has an amazing beat with incredible and emotional lyrics and vocals. That is what makes a good song to me. Some of my favorites are "Thinkin Bout You", "Pilot Jones", "Pyramids", "Lost", and "Forrest Gump".
I really recommend you go buy this album ASAP! You will not regret listening to this musical genius and learning from a positive and sentimental person.
