It’s his world but built on two alternate timelines: one where Black Mirror’s premise is in the beginning stages of reality and another where life is lived and enjoyed without much technology. I’d like to believe Frank Ocean saw that same episode of Black Mirror back in 2011 and let an idea grow in his mind to create two albums that contrast each other. He’s an artist, far more than just a musician, so his messages are dense and tough to pinpoint without dissecting his work to pieces. It also feels like he’s trying to tell us something. How does someone disappear from the internet, sans a Tumblr, and pop back up with multiple albums at once? Frank Ocean is trying to defy the laws of consumption in a generation that can barely get through an hour album. Back-to-back albums, which the thought alone is worth the wait, titled Endless and Blond. We waited a little over four years and suffered through enough trolling to make us not want anything, but here we are. If you have enough credits, you can purchase a ticket for an American Idol parody that can change your life. We’re slaves to a box-like prison we call a bedroom and there’s only one way to escape this life. The latter seems like a good idea, but it’s the former that builds upon a lot of cringe worthy moments. The setting is futuristic in which technology reigns supreme and we exercise for currency. I just started watching Black Mirror, and the second episode of season one was one hell of a concept.
