Listen to Frank Ocean’s list of favourite songs, from Outkast to Arvo Part

The Cure get a name check for his use of their song title

The list in Frank's zine

There’s a ton of interesting little elements to Frank Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry magazine, which have been popping up online this week after the zine was launched alongside his new album Blonde.

In addition to poems by Kanye West and Tyler the Creator, there’s a centrefold photo of Rick Rubin’s living room, with a list beneath it of songs Frank holds dear.

It’s an eclectic mix, including modern hip-hop (Outkast’s incredible ‘Vibrate’ and Death Grips ‘Bitch Please’), old school R&B, soul and Motown (Al Green, Nina Simone etc) and even a little rock and country (Crosby & Nash and Willie Nelson).
