FRANK OCEAN: recomendaciones
Fran Ocean me deslumbró con su “Channel Orange”. Ahora , ha tardado una enormidad para hacer este notable álbum, con algunas canciones llamativas, pero con la presión asquerosa que soportan todos los artistas negros a los que les gustan las melodías suele ser caótico . Están presos de la moda , del inevitable “hip -hop” , del rap en su versión moderna con el “auto-tune”.
Fran Ocean ha caido en el terreno de Kendrick Lamar, que es ahora la gran referencia de la m´úsica negra, de las “estrellas” como Usher, Drake y hasta el propio Ocean. Se libra , por poco, Kanye West , pero esa línea aleja cada día más la música norteamericana con la de la gran calidad.
¿Donde están los Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder e incluso Prince?. Perdidos en la catacumbas de este hip-hop anti democrático. musicalmente hablando.
Con decir que la mejor canción es ” Pink + White” , que está escrita por un gran hacedor de melodías como es Pharrell Williams ya está todo dicho.
Es repugnante la metodología para utilizar los “samplings”. Ejemplos horribles en “Close to you” , la canción de Bacharach, pero en versión de Stevie Wonder.
Pero más horroroso eds la utilización de “Here , there and Anywhere” de los Beatles. La verdad, no sé para qué.
Prefiero que Ocean exprimente en “Pretty Street” o que trate de hacer canciones como “Self Control”. Aún así este “Blond” es el álbum del momento en la industia. Signo de los tiempos, como decía Prince.
