    The night was at it's darkest when Feefo heard a knock at his door. When he answered it, there was nothing but a small, tightly bound package. While he was confused about this, he could tell that the package was very cohesive. Inside the package lay a mixtape, which perplexed Feefo. He didn't know what to expect! Slowly he picked up the tape and brought it into his car, beads of sweat beginning to run down his face. As he steadily set it up, only one thing was running through his mind: "I hope this bumps in the whip..."

    Think about it like this guy with the dreads: Nikes is the perfect song to start this off and I'm gonna tell you why: if he came in with his voice right at the beginning, it wouldn't feel right. He made us wait a little bit longer, and when his normal voice comes in, it is that much sweeter. Perfect execution.

    Second half of Nights is perfect. The first half is pretty great, but the second half is some of the most personal and emotive songwriting I've ever heard on a Frank Ocean track. And as for the production, the way he layered his voice with the "every day shit" line to create different harmonies around the chord pattern still gives me chills every time I hear it

    I think the David Bowie influence came in the 'Nikes" music video. Its similar to David Bowie's music video for "Lazarus" because both videos explore the duality of their on stage and artist's persona, as in what their audience expects, compared to their life and how they feel about it.

    Something I feel needs to be said is the album sounds influenced by Massive Attack or other acts of the british trip-hop era (Tricky and the likes), though perhaps that is accidental, because those artists first were trying to mix hip hop with uk indie (like shoegaze) indeed arcing back to the influence of Bowie and Eno. The early The Weeknd material also for me had this sound trajectory that linked back to trip-hop (Abel citing the same punk influences as Tricky would have in the 1990's). It just feel sometimes people are bypassing that era like it didn't have any impact (or american indie hip hop will be praised first as the influence, when the sounds seem more british-influenced). Of course we could argue all that trip-hop did was adding beats to Prince, since Prince mixed funk, rock, new ave, and Prince already had an appreciation for UK indie (he was a big fan of Cocteau Twins). But listening to Blonde, the best tracks for me reminded me of Massive Attack or Tricky the most, but more soulful, more with an american vibe. Perhaps the fact that many tracks are quasi empty affect the pace for me a little. I would have balanced it more. But then if you're listing folk as an influence, of course you eventually come to just guitar and singing.

    Yo mike, nikes makes perfect sense when you think of it like this. Given the fact that frank was with def jam before this, he had to release one album in order to on an independent label - Endless. Think about endless now, the name, building, the countless hours in the warehouse (as if he was a slave to the label). Then he made the staircase and built his way out of it to release Blonde on his own label. Nikes is about "These bitches want Nikes,They looking for a check" basically referring to def jam. I think that was almost like a celebratory song, then cue the second half of the nikes that seems to fit the narrative/context of the album.

    I felt like the nikes music video was a better representation of the song. The album version doesn't contain that key element of having that masculine deep voice singing with the feminine chipmunk voice. The music video explains much more and I would've love that version on the album instead. It just kicks off the theme of duality in the album.

    I love the whole album. I liked the original version of Nikes. I hope he doesn't take 15 years till his next album. I feel like the only artist that has the right to wait a while till his next album is Kendrick Lamar😂.

    5. Solo (Reprise)

      Rey Parker as a song to just listen to yes it is, from a songwriting standpoint no, but sonically yes.

    • @FoxyChariot
      @FoxyChariot 4 года назад

      Y D It sounds nice but all of these songs are deeper on a songwriting level and I’d take Nights and Self Control sonically as well. Pink and White sounds pretty with the bassline and whatnot and I think you’re conflating that with actual song quality. It’s great don’t get me wrong but it’s mid tier compared to the best 5 on the album. The glistening beat switch on Nights, the heart wrenching closing melody and the percolating guitars on Self Control, the whirling organs of Solo, the GOAT tier verse of Solo (Reprise) just dwarf it and they’re why I come back to the album. I really listen to Futura Free and Ivy more than pink and white if I’m being honest (that reference though).

    That Nikes take aged like milk. The song definitely sets the tone and talks about the relationships creation that the album is based on. “We’re not in love, but I’ll make love to you. I’m not him, but I’ll mean something to you” is the reason this relationship has to be a secret

    It's kinda hard to watch any reviews of this album only because I can't listen to ANY criticism of any song...these songs mean so much to me, especially now. I went from hating it when it first came out to it being one of my top 5 personal albums

    Love when you have to hear an album multiple times to fully get it. If an artist puts upwards of a year or more on a project, it would be severely underwhelming if you as the listener fully grasped everything you could out of it in an hour.
