2. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange - 2012
Frank Ocean is often noted for being the first RnB musician to come out as having same sex relations. While a fantastic revelation, it almost overshadowed his music, into which Ocean has the ability to go deep with his emotions, and make something a fantastic as 'Bad Religion', a highlight of the album, as well views on life in 'Super Rich Kids' , and the love song 'Thinkin Bout You'. Frank Ocean's songs are often stripped back, moving, and really exhibit his voice beautifully. 'Channel Orange' is a like Ocean's own open letter about his sexuality; it's personal, it's bares all and it's moving, a must listen to any Soul fan.
