вЂњBad ReligionвЂќ is a great track because Ocean goes to what seems like the depths of his soul to tell the listener how his love for another man was never returned. вЂњPink MatterвЂќ presents a build, a build that results in the listener going into a state of awe over the power of his melody. His vocals have so much emotion they burst through the confines of the harmony into something more. вЂњPink MatterвЂќ is a great example of why I love OceanвЂ™s musical style. Two tracks that I would really like to focus on that really outline OceanвЂ™s style is вЂњBad ReligionвЂќ and вЂњPink Matter (ft. вЂњSweet LifeвЂќ is a narrative about people living their lives on the beach, a life Ocean expresses he does not want to life.Д¬hannel Orange contains in-depth stories along with short snippets and interludes like вЂњFertilizerвЂќ, a 30 second track (which I absolutely love) which is OceanвЂ™s rendition of James FaultleroyвЂ™s song of the same name. вЂњLostвЂќ tells the story of a man dealing with his cocaine cooking girlfriend. вЂњPyramidsвЂќ tells a story of a pimp falling in love with one of his clients. The albumвЂ™s lead single вЂњThinkin Bout YouвЂќ is now certified platinum, but the other four singles вЂњSweet LifeвЂќ, вЂњSuper Rich KidsвЂќ, вЂњPyramidsвЂќ, and вЂњLostвЂќ donвЂ™t fall far behind.Д®very track on this album tells a story, tracks like вЂњSuper Rich KidsвЂќ (featuring Odd Future member Earl Sweatshirt) tell a story of a wealthy kid ignored by his parents who eventually falls off of a roof (listen to the track and youвЂ™ll understand better). ThatвЂ™s what makes this album so unique, the fact that Ocean pours his heart out into one phenomenal album.ДЇive singles were released prior to the album being released in July of 2012. Ocean became the first mainstream African-American musician to openly come out as liking a person of the same sex.Д¬hannel OrangeВ is a concept album in which Ocean touches on themes such as drug use to hopeless love. That being said, it is revealed later on that Ocean comes out as openly bisexual on the track вЂњBad ReligionвЂќ, and for that I applaud him. Ocean named Channel OrangeВ after a reference to the color he envisioned the summer he first fell in love.

I decided to make this weekвЂ™s Lookback his critically acclaimed debut Channel Orange. Since Frank did not drop his much anticipated sophomore album Boys DonвЂ™t Cry today LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD.
