Frank Ocean: "White" and "Whip Appeal"
Odd Future’s breakthrough R&B star has written for Bieber, Beyoncé and John Legend, but he saves the best for himself. Ocean’s track on The Odd Future Mixtape Vol. 2, “White,” is an arresting gem with reflective lyrics and some subdued electro-piano accompaniment. He also did some early spring cleaning over the weekend by releasing “Whip Appeal,” a track about “pretty girls and sports cars” that for some reason didn’t make it on last year's mixtape nostalgia, ultra. We're lucky he rectified that oversight: It sounds like early 1990s Prince with the staccato beats of Maybach hip hop.
