Under-Appreciated Artist Of The Week: Frank Ocean

Tumblr_mg4sfwdnzu1qc7rdno1_1280_large You may have interests in any sort of music you enjoy, varying from Rap & Hip Hop to Country. But this specific blog is not to flatter popular musical artists, but rather to focus the attention on unfamiliar musicians. 

I personally loath famous celebrities who release god awful music but receive high adornment even though they obtain horrendous musical ability. 

 But I have recently come across an impressive new artist named Frank Ocean. Ocean is a fellow member of the controversial rap band entitled Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (also hugely under-appreciated artists in my opinion), Odd Future for short. 
 But Ocean is visibly the black sheep in this band,in an intriguing way. Ocean has so much more emotion in his music, and his presents is much more different than that of his fellow Odd Future members.  

His vocals can be easily detected throughout the bands albums, and he helps propel the bands strength and power.   The amount of soul and emotion that he can create in one song is astounding. 

When I listen to music, I don't just concentrate on the bass or the beat.  The best songs are the songs with the most unique lyrics. 

What makes me adore Ocean the most is his strength to accept himself for who he is, and having the ability to incorporate that into his music. There is such a connection that I feel with him when I listen to him.Not only that, he also receives so much praise for his fans,encouraging them to be original also. 

 I really appreciate his musical abilities, and I hope that others recognize it also.  

I know that Ocean can go far in music if he is given the chance from the audience.
