Frank Ocean, An American singer-songwriter that’s made musical sensations ever since 2010. A Alternative R&B mixed with pop he is a worldwide hit that's not only caught the attention of teenagers and rising adults but also big hot celebrities like Beyonce, Lil Yachty and more. Frank Ocean once released a life perspective changing album titled “Blonde.” The feelings from each of the songs have a pattern but allow you to unlock new memories amongst yourself. Blonde came out August 20th, 2016. Frank Ocean's album ended up winning 2 grammys. The album talks about love and every aspect about it. Love can mean heartache, love can mean the loss of someone you cared deeply for. Blonde is different when the topic of love comes up. What makes it so entirely special is the beautiful way Frank Ocean explains love, it's not an album about a person he admires and wants to date, it's not an album about the love of his life, it's an album of his life and the love has lost or grown. Emotions come and go but this album when listening to the beat and the lyrics will bring them out. The Blonde album has the ability to get into your soul and sing about what others can’t even speak about. “Let success be your noise.” A quote from Frank Ocean. Simple, short but impactful just like his songs. As great of an artist and how popular he really is, Blonde happens to be the last sense of music he has published. It's been 7 years since he has dropped anything and it's due to the loss of his brother, who passed august 2nd 2020, due to a car crash. He’s been taking a break for some time now, and fans have been losing in hope of him coming back officially. He attended Coachella 2023 and was on stage for 15 minutes and recently it was a snippet of a Frank Ocean's song in the beginning of Drake's album. It is unknown if he’ll ever come back but there's been signs of his return for his love of music. Overall, Blonde years later of its release will continue to change views of life, and the short time we have on it. Love is in us, we just need to release it.
