Sharlene Chiu’s FASHION + music pick: “Strawberry Swing” by Frank Ocean

Comments

To call Frank Ocean, of L.A. hip hop collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, an R&B artist is an understatement. Frank Ocean’s latest album “NOSTALGIA, Ultra” is a mixtape dripping with a ton of heart and soul and displays a remarkable storytelling talent that I seriously can’t wait to see develop into his next album.
