This is one of the albums that defines alt r&b and neo-soul for me. This whole album has gone platinum every day of my life since like 2017. Bad Religion saved me in high school. Frank Ocean ur sooooooo special
Favorites: Bad Religion, Pink Matter, Pyramids, Sweet Llife
Frank Ocean is definitely one of one. These songs hold so much depth in both the lyrics and instrumentals. Could never get this off repeat, he's so extremely talented.
Highly underrated, The Raft is one of my favorite throwback songs. Love it
Incredible jazz album. I remember first hearing this album at the age of five, with my mother singing along while washing my hair in the sink at my childhood home. Lalah's voice is so soulful and you can feel the chemistry between her emotions and Joe Samples outstanding piano skills!
Favorites: all of them 😠but mainly Street Life, When Your Life Was Low, and Come Along With Me
The concept of this is so creative, and it is executed beautifully! Dealing with struggles in identity and religious internal conflict, this album has so much significance to me, and emphasizes the importance of innovative ideas in music. I had a couple skips, but overall amazing piece of work
Favorites: Strangers, Sun Bleached Flies, A House In Nebraska
A historical masterpiece. This album is truly one for the history books. I grew with Stevie and every song on this album is perfect in its own way. His lyricism is unreal and his melodies are always so complex. Truly a savant
Killer EP. Stumbled across this in my queue in like 2021, and been hooked ever since.
Favorite: You Know Me Too Well and Gods
The artistry of this album is perfect and the transitions are so good. Wouldn't have gotten through high school without it. favorite is Gasoline
I love the variety of this album. She has a couple groovy ones, and her voice is so addictive
favorites are Best of Me and Like a Dream
Grew up with this album. Her voice is so unique and intense and her lyrics have stayed with me my whole life. Love Lesson Learned and Superwoman. There are a couple songs that seem skippable to me, so it gets a 90 -- but beautiful artwork regardless.
