Frank Ocean

The 28-year-old has taken the playfulness and vulnerability of his debut and run with it here.

Frank’s songwriting is given a greater stage than drum and bass, absent on most of the album.

Constructed on Ocean’s terms, with often unusual arrangements and no obvious radio singles, this won’t be to everyone’s tastes.

But it’s an album full of songs that Frank Ocean loves – and he’s lucky that what he loves many others want to hear.
