frank ocean has been a key player in the (formerly) grassroots movement to revive and reinvent modern r&b. the release of his debut mixtape
nostalgia early last year combined with the works of artists like
the weeknd and
how to dress well has managed to carve out a significant niche, that while never dead, had receded into relative obscurity. the scene is in full swing now and with tracks like "pyramids," it's not hard to understand why. a lengthy journey of r&b brilliance,
pitchfork nailed it when they wrote: "the song's a
10-minute r&b event, traveling from club banger ancient egypt... to the slow jam strip club."
ocean's upcoming full-length,
channel orange is slated for a july
17 release date via
def jam and as always, stream the new single above or download it (right click, save link as)
