Specific Album Art Analysis | Frank Ocean - (of Odd Future) - Nostalgia Ultra

Frank Ocean, is an upcoming artist who released his mixtape or album as you call it in 2010 '(of Odd Future) - Nostalgia Ultra'. This unsigned artist at the time became a big hit to the young teenage audience. Most of his songs have very deep meanings, for example; 'Swim Good' speaks about committing suicide.
Nevertheless most of his songs are instrumentals from others. This questions whether its a remix or a cover of the original song but I believe that Frank Ocean is unique enough to make it his own and out perform the originals.
However, this album is yet to be released officially and shows that independent and unsigned artist have a massive impact aswell as mainstream artist.
The album cover presents an old BMW M3 '97. This makes the album cover look very unique and interesting, specially with the use of colour. The orange car contrasts with the background greeny field. 


Labels: Odd Future Records, Def Jam
Genre: Dark R'n'b, Alternative Hip Hop, Soul Hip Hop
