Song Review
| “ | Thinkin Bout You is the first Frank Ocean song I ever heard, and it is truly one of the best ever. There's just something about the chorus that keeps you coming back, especially:
"Or do you not think so far ahead? 'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever, ooh." Additionally, the lyricism and meaning of this song are very special. Although I don’t relate to it yet (but probably will one day), I know many others can. Vocally, I really think this is one of the best performances on channel ORANGE—his falsetto is amazing and incredibly soothing to the ear, especially in the chorus. Overall, I know I’ll be coming back to this song for years to come. I believe it deserves a 4-star rating. |
