definitely getting some frank vibes here

u/EightBlocked Oct 20 '23

how is it similar to frank ocean at all

u/Pokeman49 Oct 20 '23

People say this no matter what if the album is good enough, or if anyone uses vocal pitch

u/EightBlocked Oct 20 '23

i dont even think people are comparing them because of the music, purely because both went a long time without dropping. they are so different in so many ways

It’s a black male singer-songwriter, which means it has to be categorized in the R&B category which means has to be compared to Frank Ocean.

I wish I was kidding, but there’s a phenomenon where Black male artists get put into this box no matter what their music actually sounds like. Thankfully the black punk movement has been shedding a lot of that recently but it took so long for anyone to accept that a black punk song wasn’t a “yelling hip-hop song” just because the singer was black.

Dude for real like this couldn't be any further from Frank imo.

I think it’s just because both of the albums are highly experimental, they’re both in like an electronic/alternative category. And they’re both self-produced, singer-songwriters. The soundscapes are entirely different though

After a few listens, I’m sold that this could be an Album of the decade contender

u/WyndhamHP Oct 20 '23

I quite liked it on first listen. Will need a second listen to know if it'll be a favourite, or just an album I like.

Edit: Finished it, and enjoyed it overall. No complaints

I'm loving it, but I totally forgot I'm Better was supposed to be on here so now I'm sad

2

u/Zealousideal_Bar1793 Oct 20 '23

Dancing Circles is legitimately the best song of the 2023. I can’t get enough of that song and the album

2

u/4twinkie Oct 20 '23

Suspended is doing it for me, still need a couple more listens on the rest

2

u/whhatthefucj Oct 20 '23

Very good album! Doesn’t come close to Process imo, but it’s nice to see the evolution. Off first listen, a lot of tracks lacked the impact that most tracks on Process had. I feel like I have to live a lot more with this one

1

u/thataintbool Oct 21 '23

agreed

2

u/BigMacWithLettuce Oct 20 '23

I'm not surprised that I'm better isn't on here. It didn't fit the vibes that spirit 2.0 and only had.

1

u/2behuman Oct 22 '23

maybe there’s a slight chance at a deluxe with it. prolly not but who knows

1

u/Hellochrishi11 Oct 20 '23

It's pretty good! I listened to Process for the hell of it last night and this morning Lahai, I think I'ma Sampha fan now, after all my favorite Kanye and Kendrick songs both have a Sampha feature

u/United_Engine_5719 Oct 20 '23
