i think i've had an irl conversation about frank ocean and/or the frank ocean album at least once a week since that fallon performance
Totally forgot about that thread xxp

Yeah I talk about this album a lot actually, with people who have little to no interest in r&b.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:26 (thirteen years ago)
my sympathies

i can imagine
This is the first new R&B album I have listened to in like a decade.I like it, but not all of it.

More good music to discover.It's not like I'm lacking in things to listen to.I just wanted to re-emphasize the crossover nature of this one.

I don't always listen to R&B, but when I do, I prefer Frank Orange.
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:36 (thirteen years ago)
dammit
I like Frank Ocean enough and have enough confidence in his talent that I think he can one day record a BLACKsummer'snight.

oh he'll never be that good a singer.
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:50 (thirteen years ago)
not remotely otm
whatever great albums ocean may or may not make one day he simply does does not have the finesse of a maxwell in him xp dammit
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:51 (thirteen years ago)
Not sure finesse interests him as an end though.
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:52 (thirteen years ago)
it's your stupid comparison bro you don't have to tell me
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:54 (thirteen years ago)
and the Maxwell analogy was too hasty because I've been listening to him for the last three days. It's more likely Ocean will release albums as uneven as CO but maybe include tracks whose erotic contradictions don't resolve in good intentions.

r|t|c, you're off the xmas card list

no probs, maxwell just rang and said i'm taking your spot on his list

i wonder if his christmas cards say shit like "jollitude: holiday wishes from our frozen palace" on the front

Hey, some people who don't like r&b like this album. It must be terrible! I hereby rescind any praise I've given it.
― REV LION (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:38 (thirteen years ago)
i don't really get how it's got "crossover appeal" tho tbh - it's an r&b album for sure, just kind of an amateurish one
― ticagrelor rotini (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:42 (thirteen years ago)
Personally, I love crossover albums and the discussions they create. I love talking r&b with friends who "used to hate it" but find themselves liking this.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:43 (thirteen years ago)
Crossover cos its getting tons of press.
"Amateurish R&B? Cool! Professional R&B is too much like R&B."
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:44 (thirteen years ago)
It's not really very amateurish tho? Seems like the crossover appeal comes mostly from his singer-songwriterish leanings.

right
― REV LION (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:51 (thirteen years ago)
and the tons of press detailing both
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:53 (thirteen years ago)
that's kind of a chicken or the egg scenario tho
― REV LION (The Reverend), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:53 (thirteen years ago)
the music press was going nuts over dude well before his blog post thing, i think it's fair to say the album would've been a pretty big crossover without all that happening
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:55 (thirteen years ago)
crossover def but I'm not sure about pretty big though
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:02 (thirteen years ago)
All the album posters I see in the street here (that in itself is odd for an r&b album, if not a rap album) quote the pfork score and nothing else.
