Posted July 3, 201114 yr Frank Ocean Nostalgia, Ultra http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qdxQeu-got8/TYoewyjmjdI/AAAAAAAAEVs/aR87Sv5SviE/s400/Frank+Ocean.jpg Didn't see a thread on this...apologies if there is one. Anyway, it's the debut (I think?) mixtape from the OFWGKTA member. And it's SO DAMN GOOD. He released it back in February but I've only just come across it. tracklisting: 01 'Street Fighter' 02 'Strawberry Swing' 03 'Novacane' 04 'We All Try' 05 'Bitches Talkin'' 06 'Songs For Women' 07 'Love Crimes' 08 'Golden Eye' 09 'There Will Be Tears' 10 'Swim Good' 11 'Dust' 12 'American Wedding' 13 'Soul Calibur' 14 'Nature Feels' 'Swim Good' is my JAM.
July 30, 201113 yr Author I'm saddened by the lack of replies to this! In love with his work at the moment. The 60 song+ 'Lonny Breaux' collection has some absolute gems too. Definitely one of my favourite new (well, new to me at least) artists of the year.

Definitely one of my favourite new (well, new to me at least) artists of the year. This is Buzzjack! Were you expecting lots of interest in this? :lol: Anyway, I should probably listen to this, since I've stumbled across Novacane, Dust and Swim Good over the past few months, and I liked them. I recall seeing Novacane in the top 1000 on UK iTunes aswell recently.
July 31, 201113 yr Not that it's important, but I was reading Complex magazine's countdown of the 25 best songs of 2011 so far, and Novacane came in at #6! :D http://www.complex.com/music/2011/07/25-be...ovacane#gallery
August 20, 201113 yr Saddened by the lack of responses as well. Starting to really get into OFWGKTA, especially Frank Ocean and Tyler, The Creator. Absolutely love Novacane and the rest of the mixtape. Favorite tracks are Strawberry Swing (about DAMN time someone covered/remixed this), Novacane, Swim Good, Lovecrimes, and Dust. One of my favorite mixtapes this year I'd say.
January 4, 201213 yr He's been nominated for this years BBC Sound Of poll and I feel he could be a surprise big hit this year. I had no idea he was "new" when I first heard his stuff in mid December and thought he was some forgotten about singer from 2006 or something. So was surprised to see him being nominated. Anyway this will be the thread for all things Frank Ocean! :D 'Swim Good': PmN9rZW0HGo --- My personal favourite is 'There Will Be Tears' (which is very Mr Hudson-y)... R7tWeALBpvQ Should check out some more stuff on youtube if you like those. I can't see why you wouldn't like anything else from him.
January 4, 201213 yr Author HEY! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=131006 Haha. I'm glad he's been nominated for the Sound of 2012, I'd love him to be huge! 'Swim Good' is in my top 10 songs of the past twelve months.
January 4, 201213 yr Swim Good is a proper tune. Novacane, There Will Be Tears and American Wedding are all great as well. He also wrote my favourite song off 4; I Miss You. That song is stunning.

'Swim Good' is in my top 10 songs of the past twelve months.Oh crap! :( Well I'll merge them this time, then once we get an album title/release date someone can start a new thread. :lol: (Sorry about that :blush:) I'll need to download this EP though. I've only heard 'Strawberry Swing', 'We All Try', 'There Will Be Tears' and 'Swim Good'. (Also 'I Miss You' - had no idea he wrote that, until now.) And I'm liking them more and more with each listen. But like I said, 'There Will Be Tears' is definitely my favourite from what I have heard so far. I love when it kicks in.
January 4, 201213 yr Heard his name mentioned a lot but I hadn't bothered to check him out until now, and I think I will need to download this EP. 'Swim Good' is great.
January 5, 201213 yr Love him :wub: The mixtape grew on me a lot recently. Edited January 5, 201213 yr by Conderella
January 5, 201213 yr SECOND in the BBC Sound of Poll 2012! :D We all know that it's usually the runner-up or people lower down (bar last year where Jessie was the most successful) that are the most successful, so that's excellent.
January 14, 201213 yr My personal favourite is 'There Will Be Tears' (which is very Mr Hudson-y)... Thats because it uses a Mr Hudson song, and that is even Mr Hudson singing on it :lol: Honestly, can't put this mixtape off at the moment, such a nice listen to just put it on and listen to the whole thing back to back, nothing makes you want to skip at all.

This is Totally Crap
March 7, 201213 yr I am so glad that I gave this a chance a few months ago, it has been on repeat ever since and has still not got old. 'American Wedding' is the 5th most played song on my iTunes, with 321 plays, thats my personal favourite but the whole thing is just fantastic.
March 14, 201213 yr Is this not available on itunes?He only seems to have 2 singles on it? It's a free download (on his website I think). Can't wait for his actual first album.
April 12, 201213 yr Only got into this recently, but what I lacked in timeliness is more than compensated by passion. Truly great mixtape. Now it's time to find out which other great tracks he has made, easier said than done though, given the quantity of tracks.
