Frank Ocean - Pyrite (Fool's Gold)
Producer: Frank Ocean
Album: Unreleased
Label: Def Jam
While most know Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All as the L.A. crew notorious for trashing hotel rooms, jumping Jimmy Fallon and ingesting enough drugs to kill a humpback whale, one of the OFWGKTAers sounds just a little different. Actually, Frank Ocean sounds a lot different. Instead of sparse, minimalist beats we get floating melodies, and instead of mumbled Satanic rhymes we get soft crooning, all qualities present on Ocean’s new release Pyrite (Fool’s Gold), a song that also serves as his Booth debut. Produced by the man himself, Pyrite finds Frank laying down a softly moving acoustic guitar riff that he fills with heartbroken, yet strong, lyrics about a relationship that was never meant to be, harmonizing with himself for good measure. It’s less Tyler the Creator, more Wallflowers, but will it receive the Booth’s approval? Hey, even a fool knows when a record’s gold, and DJBooth Nation are no fools. While Fool’s Gold didn’t make it onto the album, fans should go cop Ocean’s new free album, Nostalgia, Ultra, available now.

I am upset with myself for not bringing Frank to the attention of our readers soon. Fail on our part. Dude has a very bright career if this is just a sampling of what he has to offer.

I haven't heard of Frank Ocean before, but i don't know what "MackMan" was talkin about. This is amazing; especially for someone who's unsigned. This guy has a future already set for him. Gonna be looking for more!

No offense but I was expecting some hardcore Hip-Hop music. When the track started playing, I was taken back a little. I truly enjoyed this and the music was very refreshing. It actually made me feel kinda good because the acoustic is so mellow. He also has a nice voice too. Good Job!!!
