As these songs in the playlist range from timeless, minimal ballads to soaring, anthemic hits as alluded to in LVRN co-founder Justice Baiden's tweet on R&B, it’s clear Ocean ’s reputation as one of the most acclaimed artists of his generation has everything to do with trusting intuitions and nothing to do with fearing expectations. Much of his work operates without the pretense of fear, ignoring trends in search of the bigger picture. His lyrics enjoy freeform surrealism, challenging to pin down to any one influence, and his ear for the music accompanying the words has yet to fail him. Songwriting has long been the bright red cherry on top of Frank Ocean's caked-with-soul sound. Fortunately, for the fan who prefers a tidy and neat streaming experience, the officially-sanctioned Frank Ocean discography likely satisfies even the pickiest of people. The free-to-download 2011 mixtape nostalgia,ULTRA. has yet to hit streaming at press time save for three singles, as do singles like “Whip Appeal,” “Acura Integurl,” “Pyrite” and “Memrise.” His 2016 visual album Endless can’t be streamed individually on Apple Music or Spotify. For as many songs and albums 33-year-old singer, songwriter, record producer, photographer and visual artist Frank Oceanhas put out into the world, his official discography in major streaming services comes out to just two albums-2012 Def Jam album channel ORANGE and the 2016 Boys Don’t Cry album Blonde-and a slew of singles.
