Influential Waves.

Frank Ocean was an obscurity back in March 2011 when I first heard him, although he'd been in Odd Future since 2010.  Since then he has exploded onto the RnB scene and injected it with life, soul, rhythm and emotion.  When it was published he made the Time 100 list, well you can imagine the excitement, but also there was not actually that much to be surprised about.  The buzz around Ocean is insatiable  he is being talked about everywhere and by everyone.  In the 2 years since I started listening to him he hasn't once played here on his own tour meaning that, as an Ocean-starved nation, the tickets to his Brixton Academy show sold out within about 20 milliseconds.  It is breathtaking what the force of the internet can do to someone.

Here are couple of my favourite tracks, from his Channel Orange album and surrounding areas:-

Strawberry Swing

Bad Religion

Lost

Super Rich Kids (ft Earl Sweatshirt)
