Sep 13, 2016It's a very good album, it's very sticky, the production is 11/10 and I don't usually enjoy this music genre that much. I started hearing his music just for curiosity and I got caught!
-
Aug 30, 201680/100.
This album really slows you down and lets you experience it all. The best songs are "Nikes", "Ivy", "Pink + White", Nights" and "Futura Free". -
Aug 24, 2016Even though the skits had no real meaning and the end of futura free was also unnecessary, Frank delivers strongly and tries to step through boundaries, switching his sound unpredictably and without much effort. Although a big part of the part seems simple, it is complex simplicity and simply perfectly timed as well as balanced. A very good album overall
-
Aug 26, 2016This is one of the best albums of this year and Frank has done really good job. Maybe I have found 1-2 songs which I don't like, but i think I need to listen them again. Well done, like always.
-
Sep 12, 2016This album is really special. This is probably going to be album of the year for me personally. I damn near had an out of body experience listening to this. This album is certainly a must listen that is overflowing with emotion and deep artistic expression

Mar 6, 2017HE DID IT AGAIN. No idea how is he able to create such a great masterpieces. THE BEST MALE SINGER. Deserved Album of The Year nomination. Nights......
-
Mar 27, 2017Album of a my life time. This album is so emotionally jarring and addictive it's almost hard to listen to after months on repeat at time because of the emotional context of this album. Frank turned me into a believer. My favorite track vary with each listen but I always come back to Ivy, Self Control, Nights, Close to You, and Futura Free.

Apr 25, 2018Blonde has a very spares, ambient production that really lets you focus on the (incredible) vocals, just like on Channel Orange he lets you into the dark corners of his mind, love the way it flows from beginning to end like a movie
-
Jun 16, 2018Simply a masterpiece. Whoever dislikes this album is beyond me. One of the best albums ever.

Oct 11, 2018Afirmo veemente que "Blonde" é o melhor álbum de 2016. Consegue ultrapassar o "Channel Orange", o que me pareceu quase impossível antes de ouvir esta obra de arte. Felizmente, este projeto não se tornou num álbum pop. Estou muito satisfeito por poder viver numa era onde existem artistas como Frank Ocean.

Apr 12, 2019Frank Ocean's album should be a slap in the face to mainstream, generic artists. Every time I listen to this album, I feel like I am listening to it for the first time. It is an accomplishment for music and a celebration in itself.

Jun 21, 2019Frank Ocean is a storyteller like no one else. Blonde is captivating from the begging to end. You have to pay attention to the lyrics, which are phenomenal. The production is amazing. That's all I can say. Amazing album. 10/10
-
Jun 25, 2019From the calm relaxing pink + white to the emotional white Ferrari you will be consumed by this album from tack to track. From songs like Ivey which is one of my all time favorites to nights I’ll will never get old of it
-
Jul 13, 2019Frank Ocean presents an extremely raw and emotional contemporary r&b album with Blonde. Full of memorable songs, lyrics, and messages, Blonde makes for a great album to listen to alone in your room.
-
Feb 9, 2020Melhor álbum da minha vida! Ele é intimista e lindo, todos os dias eu escuto antes de dormir e quando acordo, me fez olhar pra música de um forma diferente, ele é realmente um trabalho exepcional escrito e produzido.
-
Feb 14, 2020I can honestly say there isn't a single skip on this album and it is perfectly crafted and toys with your emotions. Amazing.
-
Oct 7, 2019Very Very close to being a perfect album. Not too keen on the last track, otherwise it's pretty perfect.
-
Oct 25, 2019Greatest. Off. All. Time. My boi Frank didn't disappoint, cannot listen to it enough, even after almost 3 years after it's release

Oct 31, 2019Mais do que um álbum, isso é obra de arte, uma expriencia musical, a forma coesa que as faixas se conversam, 10 é pouco, vou vou tatuar a capa e vou pregar pra sempre assim como channel ORANGE.

Nov 18, 2019Blonde will go down as one of the best RnB albums of all time. Between the harmonies shown in White Ferarri, the beautiful guitar in Seigfried, and of course the masterpiece of Nights, This album is a staple in musical history. While flawed at times, Frank Ocean's Blonde deserves all of the praise it gets.

Nov 21, 2019альбом заебись поплакал найтс парт ту тащит альбом
-
Dec 30, 2019Álbum com um total de 0 defeitos. Frank Ocean como sempre trazendo muito conceito em tudo que se propõe a fazer.
-
Jan 19, 2020Frank Ocean é simplesmente um dos mais jovens cantores a se destacar na indústria com álbuns extremamente bem produzidos, preocupado em confortar e confrontar qualquer um que ouça. 'Blonde' é mais uma das obras primas sonoras que traz toda a nostalgia de Frank com batidas e letras bem feitas.

Jul 24, 2020Every single song is a masterpiece, if you don't like it at first, give it some time to grow on you. You definitely won't regret it.
Greatest album of all time. Period. -
Jan 23, 2020Perfect example of Nostalgia all in one body of work, cohesive and refreshing all at the same time
-
Mar 1, 2020This album is timeless, so good. Beautiful production, beautiful lyrics. It’s so masterfully crafted while at the same time feeling very minimalistic. Frank Ocean is one of the best artists of our generation and maybe one of the greatest to ever live. You need to listen to this album once in your life before you die.
-
Mar 28, 2020A great sequel to the amazing channel orange. This however has an even better cohesive storyline, primarily off of his struggle of sexuality and many Social issues with honesty, money, past and how he views society as a whole. So glad to hear my favorite album as of the time I write this :)

Aug 4, 2020Me estoy planteando el hacerme un tatuaje sobre Blonde junto con Channel Orange, sinceramente Frank cambió mi vida y a día de hoy lo considero el mejor artista del mundo.

Mar 5, 2023This album is special. Each and every song on here has a meaning behind it.
The production on here is extremely unique and different, and definitely takes some extra listening to get used to. The vocals on here by Frank Ocean are perfect. You can hear the emotion and sadness in his voice. Frank's vocals in White Ferrari, Seigfried, and Godspeed always make me tear up a bit. -
Sep 15, 2021Listening to this album in the comfort of your bed before going to sleep is the best gift you can give to yourself. ITS A MASTERPIECE. I feel like Frank collected all the sweetest melodies in the world and put it in this album.
-
Aug 31, 2021Blonde has insanely good singing from Frank, the drumless songs are super good, when there are drummy beats, it also hits, production overall is really good with soft and gentle instruments, that goes really well with Frank's voice, which just stuns me, a must listen!

Sep 6, 2021Blonde is one of the greatest Pop album ever made. Frank Ocean is easily > The Weeknd. This album saved a generation.
-
Oct 26, 2021So beautiful. Not your generic sad pop album, the beats are so luscious and futuristic that I just love every aspect of the album. Incredible.

and I never cried so hard -
Jan 12, 2023This album is timeless. Absolute perfection. Literally changed my life. 10 out of 10
-
May 2, 2022For some reason, I didn't get much enjoyment from this album at first. And while i still prefer Frank's 2012 project Channel Orange, This album grew on me a lot. If you find yourself unsure about this album at first, listen to nights one more time. That's what made me realize the genius of this project.

The WireNov 8, 2016The sum is Ocean’s most thorough reading of his world to date. [Oct 2016, p.65]
-
MagnetOct 18, 2016This is an album of mostly beatless soul whose heart nevertheless pumps vividly and loudly throughout its 17 tracks. [No. 136, p.61]

Oct 5, 2016This is music that fascinates on first listen but requires multiple spins for its complexities and idiosyncrasies to take hold.
