Album of the Week

It's been a while since we've done an Album of the Week entry. I normally like to leave those to Aaron and his extensive music collection, but I couldn't go another day without posting this. (Especially now that I've listened to it all the way through at least 5 times.)

If you're hip to the breaking music scene, I'm sure you've heard of the buzz behind Odd Future member, Frank Ocean. And if not, don't worry, as always T3L has you covered. Before Frank Ocean was Frank Ocean, he went by the alias of Lonny Breaux. And as it turns out, "Lonny Breaux" had a pretty good collection of songs already recorded.

Frank Ocean's latest piece of work is actually Nostalgia, Ultra (Download and Tracklist included below) but The Lonny Breaux Collection is a must have, as it contains 64 (yes, sixty-four) unreleased songs by Frank Ocean before his big break. There's maybe three songs that are duplicates, but that's an anomaly.

I'll admit, I like Frank Ocean more than Lonny Breaux. Frank Ocean's lyrics are extremely emotional and his voice can be compared to the best of them. Lonny Breaux is just your typical R&B singer without the flash and the gimmicks of a Trey Songz or Chris Brown. But regardless, both are a must listen...multiple times.
