Album: channel Orange (2012) // At first I was like - not my cup of coffee. Now - surprisingly good, huh?
Had to. Goodbye 2012 and helloooooo 2013!
Where is Frank Ocean's album :( Really is the masterpiece that people say it is. The-Dream also has done this sort of epic r&b but I like Frank Ocean's voice better
Easily one of my favourite songs of the last 5 years. Beautiful and otherworldly.
Okay, it's a fair point that as African queens go, Cleopatra wasn't *very* African... but still, this epic tale of the fall of African womanhood from mythic glory to tawdry stripperdom for a worthless man is more brilliant and ambitious than pretty much anything else I can think of in recent years. You need to raise your game, everyone out there who isn't Frank Ocean!

Had this song stuck in my head all week. Definitely in my top 5 albums of 2012.
