Christopher Francis Ocean, better known by his stage name Frank Ocean, is an American singer, songwriter and rapper from New Orleans with a flair for, well, having an awesome voice! He's written music for other pop artists, but came into his own music to great success. He's dissed Chris Brown (always a positive), helped shift perspectives within the hip-hop community about homosexuality (an even bigger positive), and happens to release great music on top of all that! 'Super Rich Kids' is a sad ode to a life of "maids coming round too much, parents not around enough" that has a laid back beat and features Earl Sweatshirt. Enjoy!
I've posted this before, but kind of under the radar, and it seems relevant now, so here's morose indie band Typhoon's take on Ocean's most popular track 'Thinkin' About You'. A nice fresh take and a free download!
My personal favorite is a chilled-out remix by Ryan Hemsworth of 'Thinkin' About You', which adds just the right amount of dreamyness and sounds and feels like an ocean (a Frank ocean, if you will) washing over your eardrums. Super dope.
