Frank Ocean's debut official studio album is an ambitious and affecting collection of songs that skilfully combines many of the various forms of contemporary hip hop and RnB. Associated with the Odd Future collective, Frank Ocean has also worked with many musical luminaries including Andre 3000, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Nas. 'Channel Orange' clearly demonstrates why Frank Ocean's songwriting and production expertise has been in such demand, weaving classic and modern soul sounds with psychedelic influences, funk, and insightful lyricism.
