frank ocean // lost + video

Yup. It’s cool.

 
I love Frank Ocean. I mean really, what is there not to like about this young singer/songwriter? He’s highly inventive and his take on modern R&B is unlike anything I’ve witnessed in years. The song Lost appears on his 2012 debut release Channel Orange, and is nestled in-between the grandeur of  Pyramids (track 10) and the truncated jewel White (track 12 featuring John Mayer). The songs bumps along in a bossa nova fueled Pop overdose complete with female anatomy references  and drug terminology, it’s a familiar storyline ensconced within the velvety folds of Mr. Oceans vocals.  Peace.

through the sky up in the sky you and i just you and i
