Strategies to Make Your Skin area Wonderful Over again
Okay, this smoke machine electronic R&B genre has got to be my favorite in the last few years, and Joel Compass takes it to new heights. The obvious comparisons to the Weeknd and Frank Ocean are there, but I think Compass holds a little stronger to traditional R&B lyricism. Feels less… high on Oxycotton.
We don’t have to talk about the video. Just watch it and be excited that the 19-year-old Compass has an EP coming out in June on Black Butter Records.
Aye Yuna, I’ve been thinkin bout you too, girl. Where u get all dem mouth instruments?
For real though, “Thinkin Bout You” is probably my favorite track off Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange. I’ve been on Frank’s nuts like Romney on meme lists, but I haven’t heard too many good covers or remixes off the album tracks. So, I was stoked to come across this. Not to mention, Yuna does it all with voice loops.
It’s really a shame we haven’t posted about Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange release by now. We knew it was going to be on another level after hearing his Pyramids release a month ago, Novocain a year ago, and so on. There’s not much more to articulate now other than that the 24-year-old has transcended his generation. He puts the world on a pedestal - more like a silver tray in a McDonalds bag – and directs our attention, for once, to something larger than a self-obsessed personality.
Here’s one of my favorites, Sweet Life -
Frank Ocean, probably the most talented member of OFWGKTA, is a lyrical genius. His LIQ (Lyrical Intelligence Quotient) is 1,000,000. This new single, off his upcoming album Channel Orange, is called ”Pyramid”. It’s about Cleopatra and her fall as Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt to a Pyramid stripper in Vegas, all in one fell swoop of infidelity. But, you know, that’s her own fault.
