It's HOT. If I go outside I pretty much melt into a puddle. So, I've been holed up under the AC to work, while occasionally listening to one of my all-time favourite albums, Frank Ocean's Channel Orange. It continues to enthral—that voice!—with his compelling lyrical storytelling.

Ocean once said : “[Storytelling’s] the more interesting part about making music for me, or making albums and songs and stuff. So much so that I might not make another album. I might just write a novel next.”

He made that comment before the drop of his albums Blonde and Endless. I love the idea of him writing a novel and hopefully, more music. Here's a small taste: Sweet Life.
