A lot of people don't really know who Frank Ocean is, but after the release of his second single entitled "Swim Good" he's making a statement in the R&B music department that he's trying to be the next big thing in entertainment. With mellow, driving down the highway beats combined with lyrics that would please any English professor, Ocean is climbing his way up the ladder to success. Collaborating with other big name artists like Jay-Z and Kanye West, it's only a matter of time before Ocean gets his time to shine.
Swim Good is so genius because his word play has so many hidden messages inside. The song tells two different stories but it confuses you on exactly which one is correct. One story is explaining how he's had a history for being a heart-breaker and he now feels like his love life is over, so he might as well be dead. No one can save him, nor does he want someone to. But, then there's another story that says he's on a mission to better his life regardless of his past and all he has to do it let go and be free, hince the phrase "swim good". I'm not sure which story I should follow at the moment because the words and the beat of the song play against each other, so it's kind of hard to tell. What I will say is that Frank Ocean is on his way to the top. Lyrically, he's shitting on other people in the game and I feel like he won't quit until the world knows who he is!
