How Frank Ocean Proved Identity Is a Paradox | Blonde Retrospective

Описание: Who are we? Who are we supposed to be? Most importantly... how do we become the version we want to embody?

Blonde is a generation-defining album in a plethora of ways; it's undying popularity, influence, and cultural relevance have been examined over and over again since it released in 2016. But in this video I take a look at Frank's personal journey on the project, and how it breathes into our lives in all the right ways. This is the story of Frank Ocean... a normal kid just trying to teach us to live and let live, because he's never had the luxury himself.

What do you think of this record? Let's talk about it in the comments!

Thanks so much for watching. Every subscriber/viewer means a lot to me, and I appreciate every like and comment. Let me know what you think about the video or the album and I'd love to have a discussion in the comments! Music is meant to be discussed to assimilate ideas and to grow as people.

I am a Christian and student and I made this channel when I was in high school. I started this channel because I love talking about music (specifically hip hop) and given that the genre seems to be going downhill, I want to be part of the community that preserves the expectation of great music and dissecting what makes a beautiful record. Dealing with a lack of friends to discuss these matters with, I hoped to start my own community that loves music just as I do, as well as to provide a unique perspective as a follower of Christ that also appreciates this community. I appreciate everyone who watches and I am truly happy to see anybody comment their thoughts on a project I talk about.

Here are some links to clips I used:
