Since that clip is circulating I just want to share my favorite Dan lie, which is the vyou where he got asked how often he visits Philâs apartment and he said hardly ever despite recording the answer from Philâs bed
he actually wasn't lying! he was just specifically answering how often he takes the trip to phil's flat in order to visit him, and because he spent all his time there and didn't go to his classes the answer was, in fact, hardly ever

i have seen frank live/met him multiple times so i canât feel too bad though. also i randomly saw mikey way play bass with waterparks (i think it was them???) at leeds fest 2016 so ive technically seen HALF of mcrâŚ.. maybe thats all i was destined to seeâŚ.
even though iâm 24 and realistically havenât been into mcr for like 7 years i hope everyone seeing them has a horrible time because the 15 year old me who used to watch life on the murder scene weekly and cry over it canât see this tour cos itâs just in america

Frank Ocean- Blonde
helloooooo and welcome to the first episode of the 2016 edition of kate @zinphandel rating and reviewing dans howellâs favourite albums of the year! today we are reviewing frank oceans blond!
Initial Thoughts?
guys!!!!!!! iâm SO excited to get into this episode. i LOVE blond. like i donât think u understand how much i LOVE this album. like this is probably my favourite album of all time. i have listened to it at least once a week for the past 8ish years likeâŚ.. this album means so much to me you donât even understand. I have a tattoo for my favourite song from this album! i have a shitty bootleg vinyl of this album! i wrote essays in my undergrad uni degree about this album! i know the story of the album so well! i canât WAIT to share this album with you all especially if somehow you have never listened to it before!!
Is this a first time full album listen through?
nope! iâve heard it maybe more than iâve heard any album in my life, i know it like the back of my hand, however, i love an excuse to listen through again.
Listen through:
(gonna do this a little differently than usual and just talk through the tracks otherwise this would be 10,000 word essay about how much i adore this album and no one needs to read that lol) (oops this is accidentally still far too long)
â˘even on song 1 this album is off to an incredible start, and sets up the more uptempo first half of the album perfectly. ânikesâ is the perfect opening track. the pitched up vocals transcend and make this track ethereal and otherworldly. it sets up the themes of the albums so perfectly (consumerism, duality, black masculinity etc)
⢠track 2 is âivyâ which i know is a fan favourite BUT FOR ME because the rest of the album is so strong this towards the bottom of my track ranking (itâs still a 10 though). a beautiful emotional song about the highs and lows of your first love
â˘track 3 âpink + whiteâ is ethereal, its sounds like a being in warm bubble bath whilst transcending to heaven. the BEYONCĂ BACKING VOCALS. im literally rising to another plane of existence listening to this track.
4. okay interludes can be annoying but âbe yourselfâ is iconic. itâs an actual voice message from frank oceans auntie- i can recite this word for word. sluggish! lazy! stupid! and unconcerned! runs through my head whenever i accidentally get a little bit too high.
5. âsoloâ is probably the most classic pop r&b track on the album which iâm not usually the biggest fan of but this song is both so fun and so gorgeous. the name solo and how itâs used throughout the song is fun example of the duality of the album, as it can be interpreted as being âsoloâ or âso lowâ v fun detail!
⢠âSkyline toâ is gorgeous. not my favourite on the album buts frankâs voice is just ethereal on this. âthatâs a pretty fuckin fast year flew byâ hits every time. beautiful
⢠we are into the BIG HITTERS of the album. âself controlâ is a perfect r&b ballad. the lyrics on this are some of the best on the album âwish weâd grown up on the same adviceâ is one of my favourites. also a cheeky yung lean feature! shivers down my spine every single time i hear this. just beyond good.
â˘âgood guyâ is a lonely raw track, with just frank oceans voice and the piano. the rawness translates in the lyrics as well. such a great edition to the album. itâs just a step above an interlude, but sets up the next song so well
⢠AHHH (apologies guys this next point might be very long)
⢠track 9 is ânightsâ, which is probably my favourite song of all time. nights is SO incredible; in my opinion the best song on the album like it gives me goosebumps everytime.
â˘it exemplifies the theme of duality which is present within the album more than any other song within the album, as at 3 minutes and 30 seconds into the song (also exactly 30 minutes into the hour long album) the beat switches. (i love this moment so much i have it tattooed lol) this beat switch, from the uptempo guitar based first half, into the darker, slower second half. (the most unreal moment. itâs so ethereal) this half is also reflected in the album as whole, as the second half of this album follows the pattern of being the darker, more somber counterpart of the first 30 minutes. the theme of duality is also seen in the album title (blond/blonde), the themes of masculinity and femininity, bisexuality, how each song on each half of the album has an equal counterpart. (plus a version of solo on each side)Also, the dual album drops (blonde and endless) (that is an essay for another time how frank FINESSED the fuck out of def jam) Nights demonstrates this duality better than any song, and is an absolute GOAT song. if you listen to anything off this album please let it be this
⢠and after the GOAT song we get a feature from one of my GOATs (andre 3000) on âsolo repriseâ this is the only song that frank doesnât sing on but itâs so worth it for an andre feature. the solo/so low duality comes into play again with the themes of this song. i fucking love this one!
⢠âpretty sweetâ may be one of the strangest but best moments on the album, the change of pace is so abrupt and unexpected and chaotic. but when the beat drops???? just next level stuff
⢠âA Facebook Storyâ is my least favourite interlude, and usually a skip for me tbh, but it works perfectly when listening to the album all the way through
â˘âclose to youâ interpolates a stevie wonder cover of âclose to youâ. itâs one of my favourites and definitely an underrated track on the album. itâs fun and weird and so pretty
â˘âwhite ferrariâ is another big hitter. absolutely crushing and heartbreaking and hits so hard. itâs a glorious perfect ballad about death and love and foreverness. a high point of the album FOR SURE, the last verse literally kills me every time i listen. 10/10
⢠next track! âsiegfriedâ is haunting, raw and heartbreaking, the strings halfway through are OTHERWORLDLY. so gorgeous.
â˘âGodspeedâ feels like a gospel hymn, with the organ in the background, a gospel singer in the outro, religious imagery and references throughout and yung lean (hello again). it feels like a beautiful send off for the album, as it is the penultimate track
â˘final track guys! âFutura freeâ is the perfect closing track. like nights, it also features 2 halves, with a silent interlude in the middle where futura free ends and the interview beginsâ the song is looooooong (9:24) because of this, however itâs clearly intentional as it makes the album the perfect 1hr length.
⢠the first half closes out the album perfectly, and wraps up the themes presented throughout. the interview in the second half is so sad to listen to now, as ryan, franks little brother who is being interviewed passed away a couple of years ago.
â˘it is also also a âlight yearâ long (9:24 is 9.4 minutes and a light year is 9.4 trillion kilometres) (the final line of the album is âhow far is a light yearâ)
Favourite song(s)?
nights, self control, white ferrari, siegfried, pretty sweet
Least favourite song?
facebook story (cheating cos itâs an interlude but i donât have a least favourite song!)
Would i listen again?
obviously. iâve listened to it again since i started writing this review yesterday. itâs always in my rotation and always in my spotify wrapped
Do i recommend?
pleaseeeee PLEASEEEEEEE for the love of god listen to this album if you havenât before. itâs life changing of course i recommend.
What would I rank it out of 10?
10/10. perfect album
WELL. that was a long one sorry guys. so glad this topped dans albums of year list, like i SO get it. 2016 closeted dan clearly related to the themes of this album so much. iâm so glad heâs happy now :). anyway! see you tomorrow for the next one đŤĄđŤĄ love u <3
