Frank Ocean – Songs for Women

I listen to a lot of Frank Ocean, but I had never heard this song because it’s only available on SoundCloud. I love the instrumental of this song, produced by Happy Perez, but what I love even more is the lyrics. On the surface, it’s a funny song about how Frank likes to use his musical talent to attract women, but as I dove deeper into the lyrics I realised that the song is about Frank deciding whether to rue or revel in his conflicted feelings about women. On one hand his musical talent gives him leverage with the ladies, but the struggle and effort of creating the music pushes his love interest further away, as they spend less time together.
