![]() ![]() This sounds more like Soul music via Animal Collective. ![]() The tracks flow more free-form than your average Hip Hop/R&B artist. Sounds slip and slide around his songs, standard song structure only occasionally being employed in his compositions. Ignoring caution about his sexuality, his past, and his bankability for his label, Def Jam, Ocean dove in to unconventional urban musical waters. Not much has been made of Ocean’s sexuality, which is outstanding since it should be essentially a non-issue as art is about the universal human experience. When Ocean was 19 years old, he first fell in love with a man, and the record details the fall, longing, rejection, heartache and other characters and imagery to create the color perception of that summer. Frank Ocean‘s debut album, “ Channel Orange” uses its title to reference the neurological phenomenon grapheme–color synesthesia and the color he perceived during the summer he first fell in love.
