Since I did little “new” production work over the summer my first blog will be an album review. The album I will be reviewing is Frank Oceans “Channel Orange”. The first time I heard Frank Ocean in a song was “No Church In The Wild” off of Jay-Z and Kayne’s album “Watch The Throne”. I remember asking a buddy of mine “Who is that singing?” His voice was intoxicating. I didn’t know what it was about his style but I loved it.

Fast forward a year later. “Channel Orange” Is released. This CD offers hip hop and R&B. Frank Ocean takes you through his life of love and loss. You feel his pain, you feel his joy.  One of my favorite songs is “Pyramids”. This 9 minute song is like a story. The first time I listened to this song I thought it was at least 3 different songs. This CD has a lot to offer musically and spiritually.
