Frank Ocean:

Frank Ocean drops two new videos in as many days, the first of which (above) is for one of his newest songs ‘Thinking About You’.

It’s a beguiling visual narrative for some seriously cinematic sounds, further evidence that Ocean can match the hype brought about by his ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’ mixtape. Just listen to the croon “Or do you not think so far ahead? ‘Cause I’ve been thinking ‘bout forever..”. Damn.

Second, and long overdue, is this video for the killer ‘Swim Good’ below. Song of the year?

Tyler The Creator:

Highlight from the otherwise disappointing ‘Goblin’ LP from Tyler The Creator.

Frank Ocean:

Frank Ocean can pretty much claim to have written the best song of 2011 with the emotional RnB epic that is ‘Swim Good’ (stream it below), taken from his impressive ‘Nostalgia, ULTRA’ mixtape dropped earlier in the year.

Now we get another piece of the Ocean vision with this official video for ‘Acura Integurl’ featuring some of the first shots of the man himself.
