Memrise


Something new on the net from Frank Ocean- everyone's saying it's his first work for two years but they seem to be forgetting Hero with Diplo, Paul Simonon and Mick Jones from earlier this year. The song (fragment might be more accurate) is pretty low key and under two minutes long. It opens with distorted, phased backing, sounding like someone's playing it on a laptop next door. Frank's staccato vocals add to the disorientation. Then there's some Stevie Wonder electric piano and singing, smoothing things out. Intriguing.
