“Frank Ocean appears thanks to Frank Ocean,” and also reads the individual observations to the new Calvin Harris song, “Slide”, which started in the end of February in an unreasonable warm battle of the summer song for the year 2017. Most artists only appear anywhere as a courtroom for a mark Their registration, but Ocean is a free agent and this song is another surprise step in rewriting the ongoing stardom.
Last summer, the loud singer R&B broke years of unjustified silence with the two albums, Endless and blond)That challenge the agreements both musician and wise. The last of the two versions-which was actually for sale and has songs that can be distinguished, unlike the free audiovisual project Endless– It was not collected through a record company, Def Jam, but Independently. Through years of quarrels (and Apple helpThe sponsor of the new company for pop artists), had freed himself of the type of contract, which was previously considered a prize and a necessity for new singers.
It seems that this newly discovered freedom can be used to abandon an anti -trade mentality, anti -pop. blond) It is a masterpiece, but it is strange: often drum free, well -known song structures, and anything that can be a great success. It took four years to make, and had a competitive satire for her name, and was distinguished by a printed magazine. You can understand why its origin may not want to run all its articles in Groups Universal Music Group A & R. It may guess that future ocean projects will become more artistic.
But today it brings good news mostly that Ocean has not fully decided to withhold his talents – a voice that gives both feeling and situation, adventure ear, smart and funny lyrical sensitivity – from the radio race. He was paired with Calvin Harris, the Scottish EDM star who is famous for UNSUBTE but does not resist the best 40 fees such as “This What You Jep In 2011, again, Rihanna). The approximation of the bill are two -thirds of Megos, the Atlanta Rap collection, which has a national success in 2017 with the difficult album culture And the number 1 hit “Bad & Bouje”.
Harris’s talent to unifying popular trends and pushing them forward is offered here, with the rhythm of the “slide” that she absorbs in reviving Bruno Mars’s last Fonk and Justin Bieber Trope’s house when I heard on the beach. One of Ocean’s signatures opens on the last day, a treated voice with screaming, the path, noting that “I have emptied my bank account / and the purchase of this boy with a tube.” Apparently To the Picasso plate he wants on his wall.*
The artists ’pair here is noticeable for musical reasons. When asked about the rapper Maconin who just came out as gay, Megos He said It looked “Fucked” and “Wack”, which he had previously put on a difficult personality and a street. The group later gave an apology saying they were fine with homosexuals, but this did not address the stereotypes that seemed to support. However, they are now on a path with Frank Ocean, who shook hip-hop music with the acceptance of 2012 from a relationship with a man-and since then all kinds of expectations about culture, machinery and sex were rushed.
Megos themselves look great, and suddenly crafting their distinctive flows than ever on such a strong and sunny rhythm. Ayat Ocean seems to be invisible, and talks exhausting the moment at the end of the club when the lights appear and see who you may take it home; Migos is explicit of wine, eating and food of two different sexes all over the world. The divisions between ocean sensors, Megos and Harris cannot be more clear, but the song is a pop power to make very different elements slip together.
