ollie Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 What's not to get about Frank Ocean? He's not a complicated musician: catchy beats, great melodies, good voice, lyrics that aren't completely bro'd down. If the music doesn't tickle your ear I get it but why the "hate"?

weezy Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I'm agreeing with lots of the suggestions - especially the Tame Impala.I would add Mother Mother - The Sticks. I also love the video for the the title track This is some of the best song writing to ever come out of Canada IMO Edited December 16, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
