This should be the first track you take time to really listen to.

The second track, “Thinkin About You,” will have you thinking about Frank Ocean’s undeniably irresistible voice.

As an R&B artist, you might expect Ocean to use his voice in a similar way as he did in his 2011 hit “Novacane,” but he used this album to experiment. At other times, the fusion of his voice and melodies are magical. Most of Ocean’s lyrics are phenomenal, but the melodies and beats do not compliment his voice, at times. “Start” begins the album on a creepy note and then you hear sounds that put you right back into your favorite Super Mario Brothers game.You have just won enough coins to get you to the next track! Frank Ocean’s 2012 album “Channel Orange” begins with the eerie and random “Start,” which sets the tone for the album.
