Frank Ocean wants us all to celebrate the holiday season with his favorite music.
Despite earlier pushback from the LGBTQ community, Frank Ocean is still trying to reach out to new listeners by playing with his image and musical tastes. Recently, he attempted to do so through a Christmas-themed installment of Beats 1 radio. Thus, blonded Xmas (which is named after his earlier music project) was born.
The Christmas-themed radio show and playlist includes the bisexual singer’s favorite seasonal classics such as Mariah Carey’s “Miss You Most (At Christmas Time),” “Christmas in the Ghetto” by TRU, “Snow is Fallin'” by Purple Mountains, and more.
