#Listen to frank ocean blonde album free
(Also futura free doesn’t get enough love) I’m sorry you’re going through that man and remember to keep your head up. It seems like these albums were such important parts of our formative years, it’s hard to not associate the music to those times. That relationship ended not working out too great either. That warm feeling washing over me, with her stuck on my mind. Now hearing Nikes I think of being in my car driving across the bridge with the sunrise coming up. I decided to throw it on during an early morning drive back home after staying the night with her. I started seeing this girl who I was crazy in love with. I was in college and had just gone through a long much needed break up. I think I was worried my expectations were too high and I didn’t want to be let down. I didn’t listen to Blonde until almost a year after it came out. Good times and bad, Frank and Cudi was always the soundtrack through it all. Nostalgia, Ultra and later Channel Orange became such huge parts of my high school years. It was like 9th grade and I was obsessed with odd future. I had to sync that shit through iTunes to get it on my iPod touch. I still remember downloading Nostalgia, Ultra and the Lonny Breaux Collection off of Datpiff. I think we all have some similar experiences when it comes to listening to Frank. It has the reputation it has for a reason. Nikes, Ivy, Pink + White, Solo, Self Control, Nights, and Futura Free are my other favorite songs but honestly 9 times out of 10 I end up listening to the whole thing when I throw on one song.īeautifully produced and written, and Frank's singing is mesmerizing. White Ferrari is my personal favorite song off the record, and is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. This went from just being an album I thought sounded beautiful, to being one of the most important albums to me, as I'm sure it is to many others.
Some of what Frank sings about on here can be cryptic at times, and is obviously personal to him, but his heartbreak is felt throughout the record and in the months since feeling heartbreak for my first time, this is one of those albums that takes on new life. But now after 5 years since release, and that relationship of 9 years coming to an end, my appreciation for the album is on another level and has reshaped my experience with it. When Blonde finally came out, I loved it. It was the only relationship I'd been in but I was happy. Probably some of the best years of my life.
We were living together, going to the same school, life was honestly pretty good. Around the time Channel Orange came out actually. By then, I was approximately 4 years into a relationship with a girl I'd started dating close to the end of high school.
It's the type of music where I can throw on a song from either and remember vividly the feelings I felt listening to it, and where I was and what I was doing. I downloaded and listened to The Lonny Breaux Collection (I think that's what it was called) along with Nostalgia, Ultra and I was hooked. At the time, Channel Orange wasn't even out. I was big into Odd Future and kept hearing good things about Frank. I first got into Frank back when I was in high school. Weird, didn't even register with me that the albums 5th anniversary was coming up and I've had this on repeat a lot recently.
