    People don't realize it. But this is one of the greatest albums of this generation. This is one of the greatest albums of the past 17 years. Frank is a true artist and he can speak to all levels of society. I hope frank gives us another album some day soon. Thank you Mr.Ocean.

    the album is titled blonde because blonde hair is often bright when one is young, but it begins to darken as they age. this is used to discuss how we lose our freedom with age. this theory is supported by the fact that after the nights beat switch, the album takes a darker tone. in the first half of the album (before nights) frank uses high-pitched vocals to represent his younger self. he also mentions the word summer several times in this album which represents youth and freedom. in the second half of the album (after the nights beat switch) he only references summer once when Andre 3000 says he is “watching the summer come close to an end” which represents the end of his childhood.

    This song sounds like new to me - the start of summer, the start of a new love, the start of nothing, so to speak. It has a somber, nostalgic tone to it - you can tell this is a song about looking back, not about living. Through the album, the new feeling (especially in the context of 4 years waiting for an album) tells the beginning, middle, and end of a time in your life. That's what makes it so relatable - we all have our lived experience, which we link intrinsically with the first half of Blonde, and the second half grounds us to our lives now. It's one of the realest, most evocative albums ever

    Nikes is not like any other song I've ever heard. This dynamic synth, creating an expanding and shrinking melody almost simulating a breathing chorus. Then these drums and snares are the only percussion instruments keeping a slow rhythm on the track making you feel as if you're underwater or on drugs. Don't even get me started on the bells through out the ending of the song and the way he starts it with the high pitched voice. Never done before but feels like it should've because it is the most perfectly arranged song. Not even a song, but a beautiful, magical master piece. This is how music should be done.

I’ve never heard such genius in my life, extremely talented, truly a living legend. It took me a moment to fully appreciate the time that went into making his music. It’s the kind of sound that you know he had a vision for the whole time and it took him forever to get it exactly right.
    Update: I literally listen to his music every. Single. Day.

    This album means so much to me because when it came out I had no idea who frank ocean was, but I heard there was hype around this project so I downloaded it before I went to my cabin for a week. I listened to the whole thing, enjoyed it, but didn't appreciate any of it, being a 14 year old who listened to dub step, and just heard the beats. In the past few months, after revisiting it and becoming a fan of all of his other music, I now realize the meaning and emotions frank spilled onto all of these tracks. The feelings he brings out of me paired with the nostalgia of the memories from almost 3 years ago makes these songs connect with me in a way no other artist has done. I cant wait to hear what the future holds for frank. He has inexplicable talent that really brings out the introspective thoughts in me.
