{"title":"Frank Ocean","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrank Ocean is an American singer-songwriter hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana. Born on October 28, 1987, he has made a significant impact on the music industry with his unique style and soulful voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his introspective lyrics and captivating melodies, Frank Ocean has gained a dedicated fan base worldwide. His music explores themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, resonating with listeners on a deep emotional level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for his genre-bending sound that combines elements of R\u0026amp;B, hip-hop, and alternative music, Frank Ocean's discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as \"Channel Orange\" and \"Blonde.\" He continues to push boundaries in the industry with his innovative approach to songwriting and production.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"blond","title":"Blond","description":"\u003cp\u003eHard to find Frank business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou could easily see Blonde as full of contradictions, and this would be yet another – how can such a purportedly personal album be so lacking in detail or revelation? But these mixed signals are not the result of slapdashery. What originally appear to be Blonde’s flaws – its loose ends and ambiguities – end up as its strengths. Past and present, black and white, blonde and blond: in subsuming them all, this record serves as a subtle and moving rumination on the passage of time and the blurring of identity, with its protagonist gloriously unwilling to be defined as one thing or the other. Like life itself, nothing is crystal clear – other than the fact you should never make assumptions about Frank Ocean. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LPx2","offer_id":50418161647947,"sku":"1106150","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bb6ac81a-e0a0-4eda-be87-9007f66a72f9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726739298"},{"product_id":"channel-orange","title":"Channel Orange","description":"\u003cp\u003eExtremely limited press of Frank Oceans (one of Rough Trade Album Of The Year) on orange vinyl!
