With his heart on his sleeve, Frank Ocean opened up about his encounters with love and intimacy on Tumblr in 2012. While he had dropped hints about his sexuality through clever wordplay in his music, he boldly declared, “I’m high and I’m bi – wait, I mean I’m straight,” on Odd Future’s Oldie. As a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ artists in the R&B genre, Ocean effortlessly creates a world of passion and self-reflection through his remarkable albums like channel ORANGE and Blonde. The latter features the mesmerizing track Nights, often hailed for its remarkable beat switch. Ocean’s melodies serve as a backdrop for those who feel their love lives unfold like a captivating movie script, and he himself possesses a visionary touch akin to that of a director. His visual album Endless is a work of art in black-and-white, drawing inspiration from classic R&B and The Beach Boys.
