The way he keeps his cool and has a steady tone throughout his songs shows that he’s serious about what he means, as in most artists such as Drake or Nicki Minaj would change their tone of voice to prove a point or emphasize that word or sentence. The fact that his lyrics switch subject after about every sentence but yet he still maintains to keep the lyrics connected with the moral of the song is phenomenal. Some may call this weird or confusing because it doesn’t make sense, but I call it genius, that is true creativity I could have never thought of that lyric if I tried.
When I tried to figure out the motive of Ocean’s song “Thinking About You” I didn’t catch on immediately, his lyrics are just so intriguing because they don’t make sense in parts such as “Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho”. If I enjoy it I will listen to it again and try to figure out what the motive of the song is. When I’m looking for new songs to listen to, I don’t concentrate on the lyrics on the first play, usually it’s the beat that keeps me tuned in, and then the chorus. I first started listening to Frank Ocean around June or July and at the time I was just browsing YouTube looking for something to listen to, and on the side bar I saw his song “Thinking About You” and I thought why not? Once I listened to that song I knew grew interested in what other songs he may have, and I was not disappointed. Now think about this, Frank Ocean has been popular for only one year! I find this incredibly impressive because of the fact that he is passing other artists who have been doing this for years – at this rate Ocean has a chance of being the face of Pop/R&B music.
Surpassing Justin Bieber (3rd), Chris Brown (4th), and Maroon 5 (5th). From that Album, his album is currently ranked #2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Ocean released his doubt album called “Channel Orange” in July that can only be bought on iTunes. When he first started becoming popular, Kanye West, Beyoncé Knowles, and Jay-Z took interest in his mix tape and ended up being featured on Kanye West’s And Jay-z’s Album “Watch the Throne” in the song “No Church In The Wild”. To me, the songs make me think a little more than I would with an average song, such as ” I’m gonna drive to the ocean, I’m trying to swim from something, bigger than me” this is from Swim Good and the whole time this chorus plays, in my mind I’m pondering about what is he trying to swim from? Let alone swim in the ocean! But sometimes it can be hard to read someone’s mind, its pure point of view from there. At that time Ocean had worked with Brandy, Justin Bieber, and John Legend, I am an avid listener to his songs and to those who do listen to him you may notice that his songs are very different from the usual tune.
