3 Songs That Will Help You Channel The Colorful Mind Of Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean, AKA, Christopher Edwin Breaux, released "Blonde" on August 20, 2016. This long-awaited album provided fans with a sense of relief as his debut album, "Channel Orange," had released approximately four years prior.

The "Thinkin' Bout You" singer received outstanding feedback in regard to his new body of work. The critically-acclaimed project appeared in numerous articles, including Complex, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Time, etc., and is still enthusiastically discussed amongst fans to this day.

To say that "Blonde" is special is an understatement. It evokes feelings of passion, melodrama, and spirituality, which all blend together to create a beautiful collection of romantic thoughts and experiences.

The album is essentially aportrayal of a lover (Frank) who is grateful for the memories that he and his significant other have shared together over the years.

He entices the listener by inviting them to embark on a psychological journey of overwhelming emotion. Throughout this project, Frank is simultaneously encapsulated by the warmth of nostalgia and the hostility of distress.

Sorrow ultimately becomes the main theme as his mind remains encompassed by heart-rending sensations.

1. "White Ferrari"

This song will put you in your feels on a night drive.

2. "Pink + White"

The best track that you will ever hear about a sunset.

3. "Nights"

A split song that begins with light guitar and ends with a dark, psychedelic instrumental.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
