It deserved it, even though I think Kamasi Washington “The Epic”, D’Angelo’s “Black Messiah” and Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” deserved it more!
I appreciate that is the consensus opinion but that album just did nothing form me. I loved Nostalgia Ultra and Channel Orange. I thought Blonde was fine, but way too precious and more sleepy than sexy. I think I have grown more biased against it as time has passed since many swear to its modern classic status.It deserved it, even though I think Kamasi Washington “The Epic”, D’Angelo’s “Black Messiah” and Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly” deserved it more!
Blonde is a stripped back, layered masterpiece! Love that album so much! ♥
I love all three - Nostalgia, ULTRA, Channel ORANGE and Blonde - but for me, Blonde is easily my favourite. There’s so much power in its simplicity! The minimalistic instrumentation and stripped back nature of the album really allows the mature, reflective lyrics to shine as well as Frank Ocean’s heartfelt emotion. The album is soft, dreary and subtle, but is simultaneously bold, direct and naked!
That’s my second favourite after Blonde! Endless is also a masterpiece!
Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cucumbers are the best when they are organically grown! Best ones are small and fat, and are so delicious
Endless feels so incoherent to me and feels like an album of unfinished thoughts. I still like it but it just doesn’t have the attention to detail that Blonde does. Feels like a collection of songs instead of an album.
Mmmmm like Endless is amazing but in no way is it nearly as good as Blonde! Blonde is literally on another level in comparison! It’s heavenly, naked, rich and really encapsulates that complex simplicity so purely! 🗝
after reading that sentence, but it’s true! 
Awwww you’re missing out on so much! You should definitely check him out! One of the best artists of the 2010’s in my opinion!
I’m with @TheThinWhiteDuke in that I’ve never understood the Frank hype. But I’m willing to give him another shot - what one album should I listen to? (note that I’ve been listening to the new Fiona nonstop so now might not be the best time!)
I like Channel Orange the best and I think its brilliance is more approachable than Blonde
Ok, I’ll give Channel Orange a listen today!
Because he digs deep and makes you feel those buried, raw, emotions you never knew you had
He made me think about what I needed to pick up at the grocery story and What album should I listen to next.Because he digs deep and makes you feel those buried, raw, emotions you never knew you had
