With his new album coming in the summer, I was wondering if we could revisit his debut, Channel Orange, both in discussion and annotation. So, I have some questions:
What did you like about CO?
What do you not like?
What is your favorite song, and why?
Which of the interludes did you like most?
What did you think about the concept of the album?
What is your favorite line?
Now on Frank himself:
1. How does he compare amongst the slew of new school R&B artists (Jhene, Weeknd, Tinashe, etc)?
2. Did his sexuality ever turn you off from his music at one point? (I hope not!)
What are your expectations for this new album?
And my final question is for me! Does anyone have a download link/think they can email me the file for this album? I haven’t revisited it in a while and was shocked to find I didn’t even own it, and I wanted to revisit it before the summer; couldn’t find it online bc it’s been 3 years lol. Thanks! @r-and-b-genius @genius-editorial-board
