ArT PoP

its "art rnb" in the same way that bowie is "art pop" i.e. boring and unoriginal and reliant on the ignorance of the unwashed masses to garner the "artistic" stamp of approval

It's just alternative RnB lol
Who tf calls it "avant garde", or "art rnb"

It's in the same genre as the weeknd (and all his clones) Dangelo, young fathers.
It just happens to be more out there then the others.

you have no imagination. go listen drake

Guys.. I just found this album in my only son's bedroom..

What should I do?

lol nice implication, im listening to ferneyhough now

Does this board just meme the opposite of what mainstream society thinks?

Yes
However, I actually liked Blonde alot

>transformers franchise makes a lot of money
>anyone who dislikes transformers is a contrarian

why is it so surprising that a community that listens to more music than mainstream society has higher standards?

Tru

Tell him his gf is cheating on him

awful opinion

t. bowie fan

Hahahaha please tell me there are people calling this pbr&b drivel avant garde!

I agree, it's boring and derivative as shit
How come every artist nowadays goes "experimental" in exactly the same way

It's alright.

haha you white

Need a link for this familia

Not really I never cared for his music save for a couple of albums but to say it's unoriginal is just wrong.

Bowie had only a few original albums (the Berlin Trilogy) and that was Brian Eno's doing.
The rest is just copying the popular sound of the time

>you should be ashamed of being the superior race

you are of the inferior race!!

not him but whats so original about blond? gutiar strings on a rnb album? because thats not original

>Ivy
>Self Control
>Dre's verse

Rest are so bland for me.

R&B needs the lord. Some gospel influence please. Otherwise it comes of as nu jazz or fuck music.

Some recurrence of Sam Cooke would be nice.

>Transformers: Successful, panned by nearly all mainstream critics

>Blonde: IDK if successful yet, but likely will be, overwhelming praise from mainstream critics

Huh, seems like your "point" doesn't quite add up...

>it's not on Spotify.

so youre a drone?

i wasnt talking about critics, more just regular people's reactions.

Music critics are dumb

heavy vocal manipulation, stream of consciousness lyricism, lack of drums/beat, use of ambient sounds/field recordings, etc.

A lot of this stuff isn't necessarily original in and of itself, but Frank's use of them is.

That's not my point. He has received praise from both critics and average listeners. He has also been praised by and collaborated with musical talents like Paul McCartney and Jonny Greenwood.

ok bud keep acting like you know what you're talking about

This album put me to sleep I can't understand all this hype

It's funny because the average person who likes Frank Ocean will also like Drake, Kanye, Beyonce and other white guilt music.

So? You're allowed to have your own opinion. McCarney and Greenwood make shit music anyway.

Fuck off if you are going to spread slander.

>A lot of this stuff isn't necessarily original in and of itself,
no shit
>but Frank's use of them is.
lol fuck off

>don't form your opinion, just follow the nice music critics in deciding what you like
wew

you dont get it bro its different because hes black and he talks about trayvon martin!! >.

Jonny Greenwood is imaculate ,son. & as far as Paul, the nigger is 70 & performs a flawless live show of a set list in the hundreds.

Doesn't make their music good.

OK, so the last living quality Beatles doing Elanor Rigby to a crowd of 30,000 seamlessly at the drop of a hat isn't "good"?

Well it isn't if I don't like the song.

I hope you have a good life, user-kun, despite our differences.
