“What is a Radiohead anyway?” Ever since Frank Ocean dropped his debut solo mixtape nostalgia, ULTRA, we knew he had diverse taste. Whether he was chiding his musically clueless girl, repping Coldplay, or sampling The Eagles, Ocean’s innate knowledge and understanding of music outside of his perceived Hip-Hop/R’n’B box offered hinted towards the massive cross over appeal of Agent Orange. More sincere than a Hova sighting at a Grizzly Bear show (Solange dragged him there anyway), Ocean wears his musical taste on his sleeve as illustrated by his sparse cover of Radiohead’s Fake Plastic Trees at a Spotify event in New York. Brave choice. Does he pull it off?
