thank u all so much for the birthday wishes i am officially continuing with kanye 🙏🏼 also yes i like my husband i moved 3500 miles across the world to be with him and i dont really get the joke sorry 👍🏼 if you’re waiting for us to make out just say so
My first listen of Blonde didn't really blow me away either, I only came back to Pink+White and Nights. I let it rest for a hot minute, came back to it, and it started to click a bit more. On my third listen I was absolutely sold on the whole project, one of my fav albums of all time now.
Yeah same here. Only liked the hits and a couple deep cuts. Came back like 6 years later as an adult having actually gone through real experiences and i could appreciate everything about it. Frank tapped into the realest of real to make this
Seigfried is one of my favorite and most personal songs of my life, the distant chords, the different sounds that come and go, Frank’s delivery, everything just takes me to another dimension where I’m just with my thoughts and feelings. I love it so much
@@Randhawa241I know I wasn’t asked, but I too consider this album life changing. I don’t think I’d say it changed my perspective on life put more so it just gave me music and an experience that I’ll hold close to my heart forever. That’s really what I think most “life changing” media does.
listening to the album blonde captures a sense of yearning for a past love. within the dreamlike and entrancing ambience, frank ocean shares vulnerable stories that reveal the duality of his mind. and the music does transport listeners. it evokes an ethereal feeling like a drive home through a midnight street, fluorescent lamps drift off alongside hopeful memories that ascend above. that changed my life by giving melodies to the melancholy, making current moments unforgettable.
There's a youtube video called "Frank Ocean - Blonde tribute" it's essentially a supercut of the album with accompanying visuals. It's a must watch. Really helps put you in the right frame of mind for the vibe of the album. The transitions are super smooth and the 2nd half of the album really opens up IMO. Great video though. I love Frank. I always switch between this and Channel Orange as my favourite but think I'm on the Blond side for now. Maybe it's a mood thing. This album is brilliant for a late night drive or sitting out on the porch after dark
Blonde is probably my favorite album of all time and I love seeing someone listen to it for the first time, as I wish I had that opportunity again. I've seen a fair share of Blonde reaction videos but I must say this one might be my favorite! I loved the facts you've provided as well as your interpretations. Thank u
such a good and deep review! the way molly describes the songs is so clear that she can canalize with details the feelings of each composition. it's just beautiful. happy bday molly you are an incredible person. greetings from brazil
One thing that sets this album apart for me, in comparison to some of my other all-time favourites, is being able to vividly remember my first listen. I think what struck me was the way in which the album expertly goes back and forth between vibrant creativity to moments of restraint when you least expect it. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Cheers to a Happy Birthday Molly 🎉
you just unlocked a memory of mine. I didn’t know that I even remembered my first listen. A girl that I really liked had told me to listen, and I put this on during my walk to her house. I remember the route i took im everything, kinda crazy. And then I remember listening to it in a different light shortly after she started dating another guy, and how the album meant something different to me at that time. and ive always associated it with the sadness of my second time visiting the album. just thought i’d mention it😅.
I remember listening to this classic when it came out. Like all the best music puts me back to that summer in London. White Ferrari and Futura Free are my two favourite songs. Absolutely timeless.
Happy Birthday Molly! Another thing to note at the end of Futura Free is the last words: “How far away is a light-year?” A light year is equivalent to ~9.4×1012 km. The song is 9:40 long.
This album is an album that’s not an instant fall in love. You go back and listen and the songs just get better and better❤ This album is something special to me brings back so many joyful memories to me
bruh why are you apologizing for not liking white ferrari? it's better to say what you truly feel about a song than pretend to like the songs you are supposed to like
Fun fact about Pretty Sweet, the term "pretty sweet" is kind of a slang term for "gay". So you were kinda on the mark with your analysis of the kids taunting him.
This album was truly ahead of its time, really doesn’t feel like it was released in 2016. The album feels like something that would be released in todays modern music. Blond truly is timeless and one of the greatest albums oat. Also Happy Birthday Molly, glad you gave this album another chance because its truly something one of a kind that we probably wont ever get again
I would love to see a reaction to By The Time I Get To Phoenix by Injury Reserve. This album is a masterpiece and there aren’t many reactions to it on UA-cam. Injury Reserve was a rap collective of 3 people, and while working on this album, sadly one of them passed away. This album was then finished by the two left. RIP Groggs, and I think Molly will really enjoy this album but also be sad afterwards. Also Happy Birthday Molly!!
I think chance the rapper "coloring book" or "acid rap" would be a very interesting listen for you guys, love the channel btw and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!!
the fact that she compared frank to radiohead is so crazy. both frank and rh give me the same feeling when i listen to them and i’ve always felt like no one ever agreed with me
i completely understand her reaction to some of the songs this album is a grower and when it does it absolutely hits u on different level loved to see what she thinks now
Chanel Orange is awesome but blonde is slightly better for me. Idk if it’s because of the songs being put on gta online with his own channel back in like 2018, I just tend to gravitate to blond more.
Happy Birthday--this really killed me when it came out. I was not a Channel Orange fan, so I appreciate hearing the intro views. This really killed me live and when it dropped, so I love hearing these different views and how folks came to the album.
Each song is giving me goosebumps at the beginning. I don’t have a solid reason for why I loved this album so much but when I revisit it, I listen to the whole album in order. I can’t name another album I do that with.
When I was first getting into really deep-diving into music I stumbled across Frank really for the first time after he performed at the Grammies. When Nostalgia dropped my initial thoughts on it were the same as Blonde, confused by the direction in which he was taking his music in. After more and more listens I found myself immersed in song, I had never felt that before. Like me brain was was following the words and the outside world was non-existent. Frank has always received flak for his lack of music out there. I can’t say to anyone that I don’t wish there was more, but at the same time, I don’t want it if he doesn’t.
Happy birthday! Legit thought frank was saying all my life too until now lol also pyramids is top 3 frank songs! Please listen to endlesss if you haven't! My favorite album of his and so slept on because blonde took over understandably lol
I feel like I had the same thing with White Ferrari - first listen I thought the lyrics were cool but wasn't crazy sold on it. Second listen I thought "maybe this song as actually genius??" and before long it was my favourite song. 6 years later, still is. Nothing can top it
thank u all so much for the birthday wishes i am officially continuing with kanye 🙏🏼 also yes i like my husband i moved 3500 miles across the world to be with him and i dont really get the joke sorry 👍🏼 if you’re waiting for us to make out just say so
Happy belated birthday!!!🥳
I personally am waiting for you to make out
@@jaguwa4816 thanks! everyone is you're just the only one brave enough to admit it

pretty much summed up my experience haha

fax
Same here

real, finally another person who genuinely floats when listening to frank oceans seigfried
Seigfried has a special place in my heart and my memories
Same here
faxxxxx
I think she likes you!
Idk the green light test says otherwise

That’s his wife
@@Mr.S05.REALLY?!!😱😱😱
@@Mr.S05.👁️👁️
this album changed my life forever. thanks for reviewing it, you two are one of my favorite creators currently. happy birthday molly!
If you mind me asking how did it change your life? Did it change your perspective on life?

@@GhoulishFiendBRO I LOVE THAT VIDEO
@@roem443I watch it several times a week. Usually in the morning when I'm waking up or at night when I need to chill.

happy birthday to molly!
happy birthday molly🎉 and its crazy you have this masterpiece on vinyl
I suggest everyone should go through a heartbreak so you can truly understand the beauty blonde is
Sad but true
I remember listening to this classic when it came out. Like all the best music puts me back to that summer in London. White Ferrari and Futura Free are my two favourite songs. Absolutely timeless.

good guy is such an underrated song. short but potent. great reaction y'all
bruh why are you apologizing for not liking white ferrari? it's better to say what you truly feel about a song than pretend to like the songs you are supposed to like
Happy birthdayyyyy for the twin mollyyyyy!!!!❤️🍻
Happy birthday Molly! great video, i love to see these first reaction.
Happy birthday Molly! Im glad to see you two listening to such a beautiful album. Greetings from Chile. :)
Fun fact about Pretty Sweet, the term "pretty sweet" is kind of a slang term for "gay". So you were kinda on the mark with your analysis of the kids taunting him.
thank you for this, happy birthday Molly
happy born day molly! glad you uploaded the video 🩵
ohhhh my favorite album of all time. Pumped for the video!💆♂️ ay happy birthday molly🥳 btw i would love to see a magdalene fka twigs reaction 👀
Seconded, Magdalene is a tremendous album.
This album was truly ahead of its time, really doesn’t feel like it was released in 2016. The album feels like something that would be released in todays modern music. Blond truly is timeless and one of the greatest albums oat.
Also Happy Birthday Molly, glad you gave this album another chance because its truly something one of a kind that we probably wont ever get again

Blonde is an album to listen HIGH! It can change your life. My favorite album.
it’s a good job i was then
I think chance the rapper "coloring book" or "acid rap" would be a very interesting listen for you guys, love the channel btw and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!!
Production matched lyrical genius personified in an album about love. All time classic.
I revisit this video all the time and this comment always sticks out to me. Blonde Broken down perfectly into a single sentence.
@@AndyGreeneBean Thank you! Have a blessed life👌🏻
Andre 3000's verse is still my favorite moment on the album
Album aside (personally one of my favorites), I adore your editing style
Every reaction has different interpretations. All good and opening. He is a genius. His work is genius
Happy Birthday Molly :3
And what a perfect album to listen to on your birthday
the fact that she compared frank to radiohead is so crazy. both frank and rh give me the same feeling when i listen to them and i’ve always felt like no one ever agreed with me
I've also felt this, but part of that connection also comes because Frank directly references them and samples them in "Bitches Talkin"
Happy Birthday Molly - fun fact the title Solo is a play on words. he sings about being being alone (solo) and get's high because he feels 'so low'.
guys ! i just discovered you right now and with this reaction and i think it's beautiful ! your conversations are very deep love it !
i completely understand her reaction to some of the songs this album is a grower and when it does it absolutely hits u on different level loved to see what she thinks now
Happy bday :)! I think Molly would enjoy listening to Endless too, just as dreamy and conceptual as blonde imho
Almost a gift that she skipped it back then. And had the chance to listen to it now
happy birthday molly🎂frank ocean'z blond iz a masterpiece
Happy birthday even though I’m 2 weeks late. Love that you loved Blonde ❤
Just started watching you guy. Great vids! Happy thanksgiving
Happy birtday molly glad to see comw to appreciate the album. One of us one of us one of us one of us....
Great reaction and happy birthday
Happy Birthday! & awesome reaction
Chanel Orange is awesome but blonde is slightly better for me. Idk if it’s because of the songs being put on gta online with his own channel back in like 2018, I just tend to gravitate to blond more.
Possibly the single only album that will forever be in various rotation for me

Oh and HH!🎉
watching this to see what it feels like to listen to this for the first time again😂😂💔
happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,!!!!,!,,!!,!!,!,,!!,!,!!!!,,!,!!
White Ferrari is always gut wrenching to listen to. Hits home too hard, I always almost tear up listening to it.
When I was first getting into really deep-diving into music I stumbled across Frank really for the first time after he performed at the Grammies. When Nostalgia dropped my initial thoughts on it were the same as Blonde, confused by the direction in which he was taking his music in.

♥️ greatness of art. From NYC, love to all. Bless.

Where is Molly from? Her accent is like a mix of Irish, Canadian, French and English
scotland! she's lived in a few other countries which is why her accent sounds like that
Happy Birthday Molly! 🎉🎉🎉
