For your listening pleasure, a bunch of electro-pop jams to dance your pants off to! One thing that I love about the electro-pop genre is that so many of these songs are immediately likable. The beat is catchy, there's usually synths or electronic elements that are memorable, and the vocals (while heavily produced in many cases) match the upbeat vibe. It's nice to have instant gratification every once in a while!

It’s beauty - naked and fragile at times yet full bodied and confident in others - is unlike any other album to compare to in the past decade. Ocean’s falsetto on “Thinkin Bout You” wails in sincerity. His epic “Pyramids” runs a wild gamut of funk, R&B, hip-hop, and electronic elements. I always find it an amazing accomplishment to have a song that’s over 6 minutes (this being 9:53) that I can listen to constantly.
