notes on: Frank Ocean, FYF Fest 2017

Watching Frank Ocean’s 2017 performance at the FYF Festival has become a healing ritual in my life. It’s been six years since Blonde and Endless; and I can argue that no night captures the essence of his music quite like July 22, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA at Expostion Park. I analyze the music and chronicle the night Frank Ocean saved my life.
