What’s that? You need a new playlist? How about Frank Ocean’s favourite 50 songs?

Frank Ocean’s a busy dude. After releasing his visual album Endless, the Odd Future alum then went on to give us the long-awaited Blonde. And MAN has it all been worth the wait (review of both coming soon). Ocean’s a true original, but like any great musician, he’s a product of his influences. And if you’re wondering what those influences are, he’s made them abundantly clear by curating a 50-song playlist of his favourite songs.

And if you thought you could guess what those influences are, think again. Of course there’s appearances from Stevie Wonder, the Beatles and Nina Simone, but there’s also strong showings from Death Grips, Aphex Twin and James Blake.

<dad joke> In short; this playlist showcases Frank’s OCEAN of influences.</dad joke>
