As the album plays through you eventually get to listen to “Pink+White,” which is a song about love, not so much romantically, yet more about love for one that’s passed and recalling the lessons given to him.

This song addresses the idea that materialistic items are damaging and pointless. The album starts with the infamous track “Nikes”, which includes Ocean’s voice at a higher pitch to start the song. This is huge because a lot of Ocean’s peers rely on features to bring more listeners to an album however, there are still other artists on the album they just aren’t credited. The album features 17 tracks with no credited features. This range is what makes this album so impactful. Ocean tells the story of all sides of love: the good, the bad, jealousy and even self-love. This is where the album “Blonde” by Frank Ocean is different. Single people may not even want to hear these songs as they are often so similar and cheesy. There are so many love songs out there, yet some may argue they can all sound the same and mainstream. As Valentine’s Day rounds the corner, one way people celebrate the holiday is with music.
