DAD FALLS IN LOVE with Frank Ocean. Blond Reaction 

Had issues with Copyright on White Ferrari and couldn't upload it. Sorry Guys.

No White Ferrari reaction is sad but we all know you guys liked lol

the first time i heard pink + white, i replayed it at least 600 times 😂😂

You know you're a special artist when you can have Beyonce singing background vocals for you (on Pink + White)!

That Jeff Buckley comparison by your Dad really warmed my heart. Love Jeff and Frank very much. They both have such emotive voices.

Leading up to this album, Frank Ocean and his record label grew tensions since he didn’t see eye to eye with their handling of his artistry. He had to release one more album to fulfill his contract and move on from the label, but instead of releasing Blonde, he live-streamed a new project called Endless that ended up being a visual album. It was confusing for fans, and even the label, and the music was not exactly as great as Blonde, but it was an album and it got him out of the contract. The day after Endless was streamed and “released”, Frank Ocean released Blonde, one of the most polarizing albums of the 2010s, and is remembered as one of the biggest “heists” an artist ever performed on a label after he ran away with millions and left the label in the dust and dropping a classic the day after.

This album changed life. It’s so beautiful.

I have found a new favourite channel. I love this album so much and it’s so good to see other peoples appreciation for it.

In the top 100 albums of all time, Blonde placed 5th...I'm not surprised at all. One of the greatest albums of the century.

OH MY GOD this is such a blessing, im literally so happy you guys are doing this magnificent album

The conversation in futura free was a recording of Franks little brother, Ryan, who sadly passed away in a car accident in 2020, at only 18 years old. Which to me, makes the song way more meaningful listening to

His first Album, Channel Orange is really interesting as well. I would love to see you react to that one too

Vocals from singing to rapping to spoken word and production the guy is a musical genius. Creates timeless music that will be listened to in years time. One of the best artist from the 2010s

This is seriously one of the best reviews of an album I've ever seen. You can see the passion for music from both of you and you listen to the whole thing all the way through without pausing. That's so refreshing to see. Great video, you guys should be far more popular

Just in case you don't know lads the rapper on Solo (Reprise) isn't Frank Ocean, it's Andre 3000 from the duo Outkast, I'd highly recommend any of their albums especially 'Atliens' if yous ever get round to them

This album defines this generation in my opinion particularly Gen Z. His album before this, Channel Orange is also incredible. Great reaction.

He’s got 2 other full length albums and they are definitely worth it. I’d also recommend listening to some of his solo songs he’s released recently, they’re all worth they’re own videos. Wiseman, moon river, dear April, cayendo, etc.

Pops is spot on with the Jeff Buckley comparison! Pharrell also called Frank "the black James Taylor".

I've noticed your dad really likes songs produced by Pharrell it seems. He always enjoys those songs.

What a great reaction! This album is among the The Dark Side of The Moon levels of transcendence. Its so introspective. Definitely helped me in my teenage years.

Really love how there is no pretentiousness to these reactions at all. Just pure RAW reaction to the music. This is one of my favourite albums of all time and I felt like I was right back there listening to it all again for the first time with you. Great content, keep these coming. ❤

also... the song solo is a play on word. solo, and so low. And the (reprise) is Andre 3000 rapping. The last track ends with a conversation with his little brother, who unfortuately died a couple of years ago

This album is a strange one for me at first I didn't find it to have any staying power for unknown reasons but for some reason I kept coming back to it and every relisten revealed something new to me Now its become one of my all time favorites and Ive shared so many memories and emotions with this record its crazy hows its become almost a part of my personal identity

Came out when my daughter was born, an album we often listen to during bed time. Probably our favorite album. Probably my favorite album to come out in the past 10 years

I'VE WAITED SUCH A LONG TIME FOR THIS🔥🔥

One of those "perfect" albums in my opinion! No skips for me

life changing album

Goated album

You guys are dropping banger after banger!!

This is such a wholesome review. Thanks a lot for it ❤ this made my day

Slowly turning into one of my favorite channels

thank you for this reaction and being so open to "new" music and new artists. i really enjoyed the video.

i've come to really appreciate this album. just such a great piece of work

There’s also Frank ocean - endless . My favourite Frank project

discovered this album almost 4 years ago now and it's been part of my playlists ever since, frank is awesome. looking forward to channel orange, great reaction !! :)

Just wanted to say you guys are going to be massive, banger video every time. Truly a breathe of fresh air. Blonde is a beautiful album that never stops getting better after more listens! Also i’d recommend more of Frank’s music. It’s lovely seeing a reaction channel from the uk!!

Great reaction, one of my favorite albums of all time. Keep it up guys, excited for more

One of the best albums this century. Frank is one of those upper echelon artists. Closest to Stevie Wonder we've had since.

I don’t know if anyone has said yet but the album is exactly 60 minutes long, and the beat switch in nights splits the album exactly into two 30 minute half’s. The first half is about his youth and in songs like Ivy his voice is pitched up to show this. the second half is also softer in its instrumentals and there is virtually no drums. The songs on each half of the album also mirror each other. Also the album is referred to both as blonde and blond, representing femininity and masculinity.

Great reaction Guys

love you guys videos, all the way from texas!

Reallllly love your reacion and knowlegde about music too

LISTEN TO ENDLESS BY FRANK !!! it’s so ambient and his voice is even more emotional !!! you can find the full movie-album of it on youtube, loved this reaction ❤️

Great job guys! keep it up

omg channel orange by frank i would say is just as good as this glad u guys liked this one

Great reaction guys! All timer here!

Beautiful reaction !!!

Flower Boy by Tyler the Creator is an amazing album. It features Frank Ocean!

Loved this reaction. You guys should love frank oceans channel orange as well. Oh & im here for your journey through Kanye’s discography!

If you guys wanted to know the conversation at the end of futura free was of franks frieds and his younger brother. Franks brother passed away in a car accident in 2020 which halted franks progress on a rumoured album, which really gives it a somber feel rather than when it first released, really sucks Franks also released a couple of singles after this album, if you guys want to you could react to all the singles in one video -DHL -Chanel -in my room -cayendo -dear april

I’m so angry White Ferrari got copyrighted. One of my personal favorite tracks from him. And overall a fan favorite as well. Genuinely interest to know what y’all thought about it?

Reactions/Reviews are so good when they’re made by people who really know their shit when it comes to music. The sounds better appreciated and understand. When I heard you guys reference Ryuichi Sakamoto in the Mac miller review I could tell you knew your shit lol. Here’s to many more!

you should try IGOR by Tyler, The Creator

I know that White Ferrari got copyrighted, but can you guys please write your initial thoughts of the song in the comments? Love these album reactions, keep ‘em coming

Wow, I've never listened to this album in full. Loved listening to it with ya'll! Frank Ocean is amazing! You would think he was such a lady's man by his lyrics and the way he sings. I would have never guessed that he was gay. I enjoy when an artist doesn't shove their sexual preferences into our faces like some artists do. It leaves the listener to interpret the lyrics in their own open way.

unique channel but i loved it

Thank you guys for reacting to this one! Do rodeo soon!!! In regards to Frank’s output, he has 1 mixtape called nostalgia ultra that is good but more pop centric, channel orange is similar but with a bigger budget. He also has another album called endless that has a visual component to it, worth a listen but probably not worth a reaction. Frank has always been an enigma, there’s a 4 year gap between his debut and blonde and in that time he was locked into a record deal that he basically was able to finesse out of by releasing endless and blonde same day (he owns blonde but not endless) essentially dropping the contractually obligated album and then his “real album” right after to kinda fuck the record label over. I believe he wound up making 8 figures off blonde when he otherwise wouldn’t have with record company cuts taken into account. It was speculated that he was working on an album back in 2017ish as we got a lot of singles but nothing materialized. Later on in 2019 he released more singles. the album art for the singles for DHL and my room implied that they were both part of an album but they have a different number of tracks. Then in august of 2020 his 18 year old brother was hit by a car and died and its believed that frank either scrapped the album or stopped working on it after this happened. Since then Frank’s made limited public appearances usually only seen riding a bike around NYC or Paris talking on his phone. Since then hes only released merch and a magazine where he announced a line of luxary accessories most notably a 25 thousand dollar cock ring with the fashion brand Homer. And he was supposed to headline Coachella but frank gave a horrible performance and people don’t know if it was all a troll or if he’s lost it or something. That’s all! Thanks guys!

yall have become my favourite music channel. have you guys listened to any radiohead?

Should definitely check out Absolutely by Dijon, it was one of the best RnB (?) records I have ever heard and the instrumentation would blow you guys away. Great reaction! Loved it :)

Channel orange by frank ocean is fantastic too

Now you guys gotta listen to Channel Orange, Frank Oceans first studio album released in 2012.

Letsgooo

Lets goooo

ive watched quite a few of these father son music reaction videos, guilty pleasure of mine but i think it would be quite cool if you guys reacted to a daniel ceasar album. all three of his albums are great and they all have aspects i could see you guys appreciating

Fuking hell lads brill reaction my fav album of all time

Have you thought about making a patreon to post the full reactions?

LESSSSGOOO!!

😁😁👍👍

Frank is an anomaly. Who knows if we will get another album, he released a series of singles that seemed to be leading up to an album but then his bother passed away and rumours are the album was scrapped. You should listen to his other album channel orange, think you’d love it. Also would you guys consider doing a follow up video to albums once you’ve had time to sit and digest it further? Would love to hear your takes on Blonde after digging into the lyrics etc. thanks for the upload and look forward to the next reaction

Ya’ll gotta react to The Weeknd’s debut project Kissland. He is one of the biggest artists in the world along with Taylor Swift but his debut project is so beautiful and atmospheric but most people don’t talk about it as much and only know him for his mega pop hits. It has a cool ethereal 80’s sound.

Really enjoyed your reaction to this. Please go over his other music. He has an album named Endless and Nostalgia, ultra which I think are on par with this album.

Should listen to his other album channel orange very good. Very much enjoyed this video too!

Can already tell your dad would love Currents by Tame Impala, thats a must

Have you guys listened to any radiohead, I know there in your neck of the woods. Franks a huge fan and that reminded me of em, if you have no worrys.

Fun fact that Kanye West co-wrote “White Ferrari" and also has some minor production on this album!

you guys need to react to Endless. Its very ambient, has lots of guitars and amazing singing. its not on streaming tho but you can easily find the files online or the songs on youtube, though I'd recommend the files especially CDQ which have the best quality.

Check out Kissland by The Weeknd!

late registration by kanye, my personal favorite album from him

I’m sure you’re going to see this comment 100 times but the beat switch in nights is at 30 minutes which is exactly the halfway point of the one hour album. There are so many cool secrets hidden in this album

I'm guessing you have heard of the band Radiohead but, if not, I feel like you and your dad would enjoy the album In Rainbows. It's colorful, gorgeous, and has an amazing lead vocalist in Thom Yorke, highly recommend

Love to see you react to Endless too if you're interested in the production. Frank released it the day before Blonde came out. If you need help accessing the album (even if it's not to react to), give me a shout and I can send it over to you.

Please pick one as the next Album JCole-the Off-Season Big Krit - 4eva is a mighty long time Rapsody- Laila’s Wisdom Nipsey Hussle- Victory Lap

you should try IGOR by Tyler, the Creator

IGOR - Tyler the creator ‼️💯

White ferrari?

Would love it if you reacted to The Strokes - The New Abnormal in case you haven't listened to it yet, I think you will both enjoy it. Great vid

Please do SOS by SZA

I think you two will really enjoy Lets start here by Lil yachty. He reinvented himself last year on a psychedelic rock album and absolutely nailed it in my opinion.

Not sure if you guys are ready for Travis Scott but rodeo is a great album if you want a unique sounding classic trap/hiphop/rap album

Blonde is a masterpiece loved yous reaction!! Pls react to Endless or channel orange by him too

Kanye's new album dropped. I know you might wanna keep going chronologically, but if you wanna cash in on the hype id do that for the next Kanye one- but obviously not necessary

Thanks for listening to my recommendation! Hope you liked it. Here are some recommendations: illmatic by Nas is short and an absolute masterpiece and a hip-hop classic. IGOR by Tyler the Creator, Currents by Tame Impala, Forever Story by JID, Good Kid Maad City by Kendrick Lamar and then of course the whole Kanye discography. Keep it up❤

Listen to sza - SOS

Blonde is one of the greatest album of all time. You should react to Rodeo by Travis Scott next.

do Channel ORANGE next the album he released before this in 2012, really you should do his whole discography including endless and nostalgia ultra

wish I could listen to this for the first time again

this album is about duality, that is also why blonde is spelled differently on the cover art, blodne is the feminine and blond is the masculine version. The mood changes after Nights, in the middle of the album, precisely. One side is masculine the other is feminine, i cant quite remember which is which tho... it also is a shame that we dotn get to hear your reaction to white ferrari.

React to Sufjan Stevens - Javelin Best album from last year!

i would love to see your reaction to Let's start here - lil yachty

Igor by Tyler The Creator
