 Frank Ocean's Blonde - Album Review


 Frank Ocean's "Blonde" is a flawlessly flawed masterpiece.
I wasn't sure about this album at first. I saw the feature credits and expected the greatest hip-hop album of all time. This was of course before I had ever listened to Frank. I was severely disappointed. Instead, I received this work of strange, vulnerable, unconventional R'n'b. It wasn't until several listens that I saw this album's true worth and genius. Frank's vivid, yet outlandish storytelling is on another level. The haze of a long summer night is slowly recognized. His lyrical references are right there with his storytelling. He frequently uses cars as a centerpiece in his stories. 


His voice is soulful and possesses an unreal amount of emotion. This is complemented by equally hazy and soulful production. This album was worth the wait. Despite it's minimalist atmosphere, it actually holds a lot of substance. Every little nuance within the production helps build it and you notice something new with each listen. Frank's unconventional song structures make each track new and exciting. It's not your typical mainstream style of R&B. It's a breath of fresh air. A truly unique and ambitious project and one of the best of the past decade.

His music is currently becoming more and more popular with each second. You may know of him due to the trending hashtag ' #FREE X ' which many of his fans/supporters are using, representing the idea that he should be released from jail. X was interviewed on No Jumper, a youtube podcast that interviews different musicians of primarily the rap genre. After being interviewed hype arose about him and he's still gaining more and more fame while still behind bars. Some of X's most hype songs are: - Look At Me - #Imsippinteainyohood - ILOVEITWHENTHEYRUN - RUN UP ON ME And of course some others.

Kenn Fuchs Salad Fingers You may have by now heard of the popular, strange and creepy series which lingers around youtube going by the name of 'Salad Fingers.' Theres a total of 10 episodes, each of them getting weirder and much more sinister as you watch. The video series was created by a man named David Firth, and the animated series's main star is a slender green man who goes by the name of Salad Fingers. The series is quite hard to follow and is pretty creepy in my opinion. Strange and funny at the same time. There's no exact story to follow but people on Reddit and other pages are trying to figure out the story behind it all, and here's what they're come up with. Salad Fingers was a soldier in WW1 and suffers with PTSD and commonly hallucinates. He lives alone and everyone in his life has either walked out on him, died or something else. In the series you can see him commonly speaking to himself and associating with voices in his head, himsel
