7 Frank Ocean Songs That Prove His Genius


Happy 37th Birthday to one of the industry’s most influential artists.

Since first emerging onto the music scene with tracks like “Thinkin’ About You” and “Novacane,” the West Coast crooner’s art has defied genres, blending R&B, soul, pop, and even jazz into a signature style that is wholly his own. From heartbreak anthems to smooth, nostalgic jams, these songs offer a peek into the brilliant mind of one of the music industry’s most elusive yet influential artists. Frank’s single “Self Control,” another cut from his “Blond” project, beautifully captures the pain of watching someone drift away, making one of many notable mentions from the album.
