So is this the best R&B album of the 2010's?

>>72247250
who say that?

>>72247250
how would i know

That would be Channel Orange.

>>72247298
lol no but for real though

>>72247250
Nah but the best of 2016

>>72247250
jai paul - demos > blonde

>>72247298
either this or Bilal's a Love Surreal or Glasper's Black Radio or

>album titled blond
>hair is green

blond is a magnificent piece of enthralling music which tugs at the ever fading heartstrings of a post modern collective. Every track single-handedly succeeds in colluding towards a cornucopia of sounds metamorphosing into the album you see before you.

>>72247385
When water applies to hair when you're trying to die it blonde or something like that it turns green and you can tell he's ashamed

>>72247343
agreed

*deletes Be yourself, Futura Free, and Facebook Story*

Now it's a good album

>>72247551
>>72247343
>JP
Irrelevant as fuck

>>72247572
>deleting Futura Free
nah.

>>72247618
this
Futura Free wraps up the album insanely well. Also the beginning works as it's own song kind of and I actually like it. I thought Facebook Story was kind of preachy but be yourself was actually important

>>72247618
It's complete filler and a waste of time.

>>72247649
>>72247633
whos right?

>>72247250
Take out "R&B" and you have a perfect statement.

>>72247385
this

Blonde is not just the best rnb album of the 2010's, it's the best album in general.It hits the same vein as ITAOTS for me.

>>72247633
i get so fucking nostalgic when i hear the opening of futura free, one of my favourite moments on the album. Also when he talks to his mother about his success and he loses his shit about it, fucking perfect.

>>72247973
>nostalgic
>for 2016

You have to be 18 to post here, friendo.

>>72247385
>a cornucopia of sounds metamorphosing into the album you see before you.

wow

a bunch of sounds result in an album

incredible

>>72248059
Yeah you can make anything sound dumb by dissecting it into simpler pieces than the original statement. You're not smart

Only good song is Pink & White

>>72248098
you are the most PLEN piece of shit I've ever seen post

>>72247250
No that would be D'angelo's Black Messiah

>>72248006
He could be referring to a general sense of nostalgia and not nostalgia specifically for 2016.

>>72248006
are you retarded? I can listen to an album made in 2025 and become nostalgic for 1789 if it reminds me of it. And before you make another stupid post, yes that is obviously exaggerated, but I think you get my point.

Had one of those oh yeah this album exists moments. Channel orange is better in every way sorry pham

Channel orange is superior in every way. Frank tried too hard here, he felt like just cos he's successful he needed to dig deep with some feel tunes. I get that it's not supposed to be as enjoyable as orange, but it's not even that good of a soul r&b album.

6/10

only R&B kiddies who can't handle production outside of basic 4/4 w/ a snare can't handle the complexity of Blonde and thus falsely think CO is superior which it isn't

CO might not even be better than Endless

Channel Orange was flawless. Blond seemed to be pandering, like I'm supposed to relate to it because I'm a millennial..

>>72248201
agreed Channel Orange was a 8/10 at best, good but nowhere near the detail or concept of Blonde

So is Frank a top or bottom?

>>72248274
top

>>72248201
agreed although it's a harsh way of putting it. Channel Orange is a great album, but it's also extremely straight forward and accessible. Blonde has an inhuman amount of depth and yet it is one of the most humane albums i've ever heard. I've listened to Blonde about 50 times and I still discover new melodies, new basslines, new details in the production, new lines that stand out, new meaning, it's infinitely replayable i always get something out of listening to it, which is why i always go back to it.
Also fun fact, Frank wrote Channel Orange in like two weeks, compare that with the almost years of on and off work he sunk into making Blonde. It obviously says nothing about the quality of the album, but it's a good indicator for the amount of thought and detail that went into it.

>>72248274
Middle

>>72248274
The most dominant of tops

>>72247385
chlorine makes blond hair turn green, ya bozo

>>72248298
>keep a place for me
>I'll sleep between y'all it's no thing

>>72247250
Blonde is probably my favourite album of the 2010's so yes

Best song?
I like nights and skyline to.

>>72247250
yes it's better than black messiah imo. Black messiah was good but blond shows a new direction that i'm into. Chanel and Biking are both p good to frank's next album should be tight

>>72248370
Nights and Self-Control for me

>>72248370
Changes so often, at first Nights, then Self Control, White Ferrari, Seigfried, Futura Free. Despite it not being my personal favourite on the album anymore, I am convinced that Seigfried is the best song purely in terms of objective songwriting quality.

>>72248370
nights and solo are my picks, but solo is growing a bit old

>>72248370
Ivy. It's perfect.

>>72248370
Solo(reprise) desu.

>>72248431
yeah Siegfrieds my favorite most likely the best song on the album too

>>72248541

>>72248370
Nights (particularly the second half) and Self Control

Shoutout to Close to You as well, the most underrated track.

>>72247343
stop

>>72247250
It's more than that, I wouldn't classify this as just an RnB album, like I wouldn't classify D'angelo's Black Messiah as an RnB album. Both are phenomenal, original albums that don't stick to one genre in any way.

AOTY 2016 for sure, unexpectedly beat out AMSP and Blackstar
>>72248296
it's also an indicator of the amount of talent has

>>72248274
Neither, he pretends to be gay for indie cred. Guy is straight as an arrow

>>72250055
Frank hates his fans tho, he hates the indie crowd in general

>>72250055
who cares, his sexuality is not really the main aspect in any of his work.

Will definitely be an album I'll be listening 10 years from now. Still on a regular weekly listen. Still absolutely gorgeous.

>>72247250
Best album of the 2010s desu

>>72247385
>It's a great record that fits perfectly with modern sentiments of love and loss. Every song builds off each other to create a cohesive whole that give you perspective on not only Frank Ocean but also yourself.

Fixed it for you.

If this album continues growing on me so fast and aging as well as it did throughout the past 8 months, it's going to end up the best album of all time at one point.

>>72252293
i haven't listened to this yet, just wanted to say that she is HOT as FUCK in Moonlight.

this album paints such vivid imagery inside my head, something i don't get with any other album. i didn't even realize how much i liked it until i started crying once during white ferrari
fucking amazing

>>72247536
wow im an idiot this is so obvious but i never made the connection

>>72247298
blonde is lightyears better than channel orange

>>72248370
good guy, pretty sweet or close to you for me. i love those little vingette style songs on the back half they are much more interesting and exciting than the more traditional songs

White Ferrari and Self-Control just give me the feels
