Maybe I need to let this album set in for a few more days. and IвЂ™m working through my fifth listen, yet IвЂ™ve only covered seven of the albumвЂ™s 17 tracks for brevityвЂ™s sake. вЂњSweet Life,вЂќ too, has a charming, jazzy feel. вЂњFertilizer,вЂќ which is more of an interlude than anything, is catchy and upbeat. вЂњSierra LeoneвЂќ is a good example.Д«ut there are some more fun tracks, too. вЂњchannel ORANGEвЂќ is sexy in a way that I would visualize late nights in the city in the вЂ™80s were. The rest of the album kind of keeps with this aesthetic. ItвЂ™s got a fairly standard hip-hop beat but the electronic layers, a gritty, late-night hook and poignant guitar outro give it an entirely distinct identity. Look at вЂњPyramids,вЂќ one of the albumвЂ™s lead singles. ItвЂ™s what makes вЂњchannel ORANGEвЂќ its own super-sexy beast. Yeah, itвЂ™s got some of those standard slow, sexy R&B beats, but those super-sexy beats are complemented by some super-sexy electronics. ItвЂ™s great not because itвЂ™s pure R&B, but because itвЂ™s got this mesmerizing catharsis of sounds. The lovey-dovey, R&B lyrics are a bit androgynous, sure, but after Ocean brazenly opened up about his sexuality a week ago, they set a tone from the get-go that gives the album its resonance, and it doesnвЂ™t stop. The albumвЂ™s lead track, вЂњThinkin Bout You,вЂќ might be its most important. ItвЂ™s hauntingly stunning somehow even glummer than вЂњBad Religion,вЂќ yet so incredibly intoxicating with its chilling string section and vocals. And itвЂ™s not even three minutes long! I need more.ДЄt this point, Twitter has been abuzz with вЂњPink MatterвЂќ because it features OutKastвЂ™s Andre 3000, who peeks his head out about as often as Puxatawney Phil. This track, and the video from вЂњFallon,вЂќ is on repeat. It all came together into one sonically orgasmic package. It had a melancholic beauty to it from the string section, the RootsвЂ™ accompaniment, OceanвЂ™s falsetto. LetвЂ™s start with вЂњBad Religion.вЂќ Ocean performed it on вЂњLate Night with Jimmy Fallon,вЂќ which aired Tuesday night as the album was released on iTunes. I canвЂ™t stop listening and I honestly donвЂ™t know that I will any time soon. IвЂ™ve listened to вЂњchannel ORANGE,вЂќ which has released on iTunes a week early, almost four times through. Hell, there was already plenty of buzz before Ocean put those rumors about his sexuality to rest, but I assumed after last weekвЂ™s news the album would be charged with a kind of raw emotion that would really make the album resonate. My expectations were pretty high for the album. (But because I canвЂ™t control myself, my stance is essentially this: ShouldnвЂ™t it be all about the music, man? Why do we, as modern Western folk, even care what a personвЂ™s sexuality is anymore? Ah, here I go вЂ¦) Heck, I could even need to get into why itвЂ™s not important, but thatвЂ™s an entirely different conversation for another time and place. I donвЂ™t need to get into why that was important. He confirmed on his own accord that he is, indeed, bisexual. In the early hours of that Independence Day, Ocean posted an image to his Tumblr containing the raw text from the liner notes for his upcoming debut studio album вЂњchannel ORANGE.вЂќ Now, though, rumors are circulating that heвЂ™s bisexual. Ocean has since dropped a mixtape, nearly fallen out with Def Jam Recordings and has become a prominent figure on the Odd Future Records roster. A rough beat eventually opens up a silky hook not from one of the usual suspects вЂ“ not John Legend or Kid Cudi or even Justin Vernon вЂ“ but rather Frank Ocean. вЂњNo Church in the Wild.вЂќ ItвЂ™s the first of the albumвЂ™s 16 tracks. My iTunes pre-order downloads at the stroke of midnight. Jay-Z and Kanye WestвЂ™s вЂњWatch the ThroneвЂќ drops вЂ¦ finally. IвЂ™ve sat here for about four hours trying to put the words together for this review.Д¬orny as it may sound, itвЂ™s the honest truth.ДЄug.
