Nostalgia, Ultra (stylized asnostalgia,ULTRA. and occasionallynostalgia/ultra) is the debutmixtape by American singer-songwriterFrank Ocean. It was released on February 16, 2011.[3] Ocean was inspired to make the mixtape afterHurricane Katrina in his nativeNew Orleans and his subsequent relocation toLos Angeles. After joiningalternative hip hop groupOdd Future in 2009, heself-released the mixtape, without initial promotion.Nostalgia, Ultra has a uniqueR&B aesthetic and features surreal themes and nostalgic lyrics. The songs mostly focus on interpersonal relationships, personal reflection, and social commentary. Following its release, the mixtape received rave reviews frommusic critics. The cover features a picture of a bright orangeBMW E30 M3, Ocean's "dream car", in plain sight amidst lush greenery.[3]
In May 2011,Def Jam announced its plans to release the mixtape as anEP on July 26, 2011. However, the release of the EP was indefinitely delayed in July 2011 and has since been cancelled. Two singles were released from the aborted EP version: "Novacane", and "Swim Good". Both songs received music videos directed byAustralian directorNabil Elderkin. Ocean embarked on a solo concert tour throughNorth America andEurope to promote the record, playing a total of 7 shows. In addition, his 2012 performance at theCoachella Music Festival included several live renditions from the release including "Strawberry Swing" and "Lovecrimes".
The mixtape appeared on several music critics' and publications' end-of-year albums lists. Controversy arose in March 2012 over the song "American Wedding", a remake of the song "Hotel California" by American rock bandEagles. Because of the Eagles’ legal action,Nostalgia, Ultra is still unavailable onSpotify, even a decade since its release; it is considered one of the most famous and acclaimed albums not to be accessible on the streaming service.[4] Recording artistKanye West was reportedly a fan of the mixtape, which led to Ocean appearing on the albumWatch the Throne. Subsequently, Ocean collaborated with artistsBeyoncé andJay-Z after they were introduced to the mixtape through West. Following its release, both Ocean and the mixtape have developed acult following. The mixtape was followed by the release of Ocean's debut studio albumChannel Orange to even greater critical acclaim in 2012.
Frank Ocean was born inLong Beach,California. When he was 10, his family moved to New Orleans, Louisiana. He made the decision to pursue a career in music at a young age, and as a teen, he did neighborhood chores to fund his early studio sessions. AfterHurricane Katrina hit his hometown of New Orleans, Ocean moved toLos Angeles to pursue a recording career.[5] He initially had problems maintaining a career while juggling a job, due to spending too much time in the recording studios, making him late for his jobs.[6] He began to write songs and sold them to other recording artists, selling his first song toNoel Gourdin at the age of 19.[6] Explaining why he writes songs, Ocean said that "I feel at a higher level of consciousness when I'm being creative."[6]
Eventually, he landed songwriting gigs for established artists likeBrandy,John Legend, andJustin Bieber where he made substantially more money.[7] In late 2009, he met producerTricky Stewart, who helped Ocean sign a contract withDef Jam Recordings as a solo artist. However, he was initially unable to build a relationship with the company.[7] In protest, Ocean joined the rap collectiveOdd Future which introduced him to artists such asTyler, The Creator andHodgy Beats. His debut song was "SteamRoller" on theDomo Genesis albumRolling Papers.[8] Ocean garnered acclaim and generated interest while in the group, andRolling Stone magazine's Jonah Weiner called him a "gifted avant-R&B smoothie".[9] During his time with the group he recorded and self-releasedNostalgia, Ultra without any pre-release promotion on hisTumblr account.[10]
The mixtape samples songs fromColdplay,MGMT andthe Eagles, which Ocean sings over.[5] Ocean, when uploading the album toiTunes, labeled it asbluegrass anddeath metal, out of arbitrariness. When asked about why he uploaded the songs in that way, he replied; "I don't want to seem like I have a cause against genres, or maybe I do... Bluegrass is swag. Bluegrass is all the way swag."[7] Ocean described the making of his mixtape as a labor of love, stating that "It was like difficult to make. Not like writing the songs [or] arranging the songs. That had a level of difficulty, too. But just piecing together all the levels to do it at the level, the quality of records I wanted to make… But, it was a process I appreciate so much."[11]
Ocean calls the album "nostalgic." He explains, "it's a longing for the past. That's what this record felt like."[7] The lyrical content, according to Ocean, relates to heartbreak and other familiar tropes of interpersonal relationships: "I wasn't trying to make a record that people could relate to. I was just trying to make a record with the shit that I wanted to express. The shit that I wanted to get off my chest. [...] A lot of this record is influenced by one relationship, but I don't owe that whole project to one situation. It doesn't matter what the details of it are."[7] Discussing the writing process behind the album, he mused that he was just inspired to tell stories.[12] He continued, "you gotta make sure the listener is listening to you, so if you put it into a song, often times, if the song is striking enough, then you can really deliver the story most effectively while keeping the ear of the listener the whole time. I guess it all starts with the stories for me."[12]
When asked byThe Quietus if the songs from the album drew from his personal experiences, Frank commented "My kitchen is usually pretty clean, you know. But you have fun with the imagery, and for me the whole concept that everything has to be... Like, nobody gets upset with a director when a director's film isn't about his life. People think that with a recording artist that shit has to be like a fucking play by play of their whole life, but it's not. It's imagery, and a little bit ofsatire."[13] When asked if he madeR&B music, Ocean replied that he disliked that in theUnited States, "if you're a singer and you're black, you're an R&B artist. Period." Ocean stated that the songs on the mixtape do contain R&B influences, but that it is not an R&B album entirely.[13]
The album begins with a melodic cover of "Strawberry Swing" by Englishalternative rock bandColdplay.[14] Connor O'Neill ofThe Miscellany News writes that the cover begins the album with "so much atmosphere you almost melt into it" and then "spreads you over anapocalyptic swan song".[15] The song ends abruptly with the rude sound of an alarm clock, followed by the "nightmarish" song "Novacane".[3][16] It has been called alove song of sorts, with influence taken fromalternative hip hop groupthe Pharcyde.[17] Lyrically the track explores a narrative in which the singer meets a girl attempting to pay her way through dental school by working in porn. Ocean meets the girl atCoachella, amusical festival which takes place inIndio, California.[18] Ocean serves as the protagonist in the song, in love with a girl "so gone on drugs that Ocean, wanting to be close to her, has no choice but to get gone on those same drugs". The pair get high using dentallocal anesthetics.[18] Ocean serves as anunreliable narrator.[18]
Several interludes are placed throughout the album, named aftervideo games, such asStreet Fighter,Metal Gear Solid,GoldenEye 007 andSoulcalibur.[3] This is reported to give the album a more nostalgic feel; the record is "held together by tiny interludes named after 1990s video games in which the unmistakable sounds of a cassette player rewinding, fast-forwarding, and stopping are heard".[3] On the track "We All Try", Ocean speaks out against homophobia. According toThe Guardian, "Odd Future's frequent use of the word 'faggot' unsettled liberal stomachs", and that "Ocean was brave enough to stand alone once more, declaring on 'We All Try': 'I believe that marriage isn't between a man and woman, but between love and love'.[19] On the same song he reveals his opinion of thepro-choice debate: 'I believe a woman's temple, gives her the right to choose/ But baby don'tabort.'"[19] He obliquely "announces his support of a woman's right to choose and gay marriage", both of which are "hardly typical r&b tropes."[20]
Pitchfork Media wrote that "in a skit called "Bitches Talkin", the ladies tell him to cut it out with the damnRadiohead, while "Optimistic" is playing in the background; in "Songs For Women", he obliges—he's an indie kid when it comes to alienation but a pragmatist when it comes to sex."[16] "Songs For Women" is a song where Ocean can't decide whether to rue or revel in his conflicted feelings about women.[21] The song offers a self-effacing perspective, with a numbed, restrained delivery.[22] Lyrically the track expresses a narrative where he tries to arrange an after-school meeting in his dad's empty house and brags about harmonizing toOtis,Isley andMarvin.[21] He laments that his woman doesn't listen to him or his music: "It's like she never heard of me."[21] In spite of the "suave delivery and the song's inherent tunefulness", the object of Ocean's affection soon ditches his love songs in favor of those sung "by real R&B big-shots (Drake included)".[23]
The mixtape also contains several references to American directorStanley Kubrick and his films, most notablyEyes Wide Shut.[21]Nicole Kidman's adulteroussoliloquy from the film can be heard during the song "Lovecrimes", adding a sense of manic dread."[3] The film is also referenced on the track "Novacane", where Ocean also sings that he's "feelin like Stanley Kubrick".[18][21] Following that is the track "There Will Be Tears". The song has been described as emotional in nature, containing a "glitchy beat and with heavily synthesised vocals".[19] "There Will Be Tears" has a strongbass line accompanying a busy electronic drum track fromRoland TR-808.[15] Ocean sings about not having a father; "Hide my face, hide my face, can't let 'em see me crying / Cause these boys didn't have no fathers neither / And they weren't crying", where he "lets his guard down completely."[3][19]
"Swim Good" has been called an "astonishing suicide song" and that Ocean finds himself dressed in black ('Like I'm ready for a funeral'), tormented by heartbreak and on the verge of driving his car into the sea.[19] The song is a grim escape fantasy describing amurder suicide, which "has the singer driving his car to the shore, his trunk 'bleeding' with 'broken hearts'."[22] Thehook of the song ends with the refrain of "I feel like aghost, noSwayze, ever since I lost my baby."[22] "Dust" uses books as an extendedmetaphor for memories and experience, with lines like "so many pages I wrote, wish I could revise 'em / But there's no erasing".[24]
The penultimate track is "American Wedding", a 7-minute remake of "Hotel California" by American rock bandEagles.[21] The track expresses an extended tale of a shotgun marriage and subsequent divorce.[10] It's here that we "might get a little peek into the psychology of the man shirking the foremost genre for love songs: He doesn't believe in love. At least not in theUnited States."[15] The song has a "totally unexpected ending for a song told as a flashback."[15] The album ends with "Nature Feels". The song exhibits Ocean as an "openly fun character", opening the song with the line "I've been meaning to fuck you in the garden."[20] According to Pitchfork, no matter the mood, Ocean is always "quick to add fine particulars that make his songs his songs".[3] Pitchfork called "Nature Feel" an "MGMT-samplingGarden of Eden fuck ode".[3]
"Novacane" was officially released as the first single fromNostalgia, Ultra on May 31, 2011.[8] "Novacane" first charted on the USBillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs on May 11, 2011, at number 65.[25] The subsequent week, it rose to number 58, and on its third week, the single rose to number 52. In its fourth week, it rose to number 17.[26] The music video for "Novacane" was released on June 16, directed byAustralian directorNabil Elderkin.[27] When discussing the video, Ocean commented "I was just trying to connect or articulate visually the feeling of beingnumb. The feeling of wanting to feel something you can't feel. A lot of things can cause that numbing, but in the video it was some sort of topical aesthetic and a little bit of special effects."[11][28] The song also charted on theBillboard Hot 100 at position 82 and at 6 on theBillboardHeatseekers Songs.[26]
"Swim Good" was released as the second single from the mixtape on October 18, 2011, and the song charted at position 70 on theBillboard R&B chart for three weeks.[26] It entered the top 40 inBelgium.[29] The music video (directed by Nabil Elderkin) was released via Ocean'stumblr account on September 16.[30] Ocean performed "Novacane" and "She" withTyler, The Creator at anOdd Future performance inNew York City.[31] During Odd Future 2012's tour promotingThe Odd Future Tape Vol. 2, Frank performed with the group.[32]
On May 19, 2011, Ocean's record labelDef Jam announced its plans to release an EP containing tracks fromnostalgia, ULTRA.[8][33] Ocean announced that there-release would have been titledNostalgia, Lite and that it was expected to feature seven tracks.[34] The EP was originally scheduled to be released on July 26, 2011, however, Ocean noted on his official Tumblr page on July 24, 2011, thatNostalgia, Lite would no longer be released on July 26 and that the project was cancelled.[35] Both "Swim Good" and "Novacane" were set to be featured on the release. Talking about which other songs would make it onto the reissue, Ocean commented that "The Eagles sample 'American Wedding' has no chance in hell of being cleared".[36] He continued, "Coldplay sample 'Strawberry Swing', possibly. I hear 'possibly' from people who say they know. MGMT, those guys seem chill. I heard they heard the record 'Nature Feels' and they liked it a lot, so hopefully that can go someway."[36] Other tracks on the reissue were set to be "Acura Integurl", which appeared on the unofficial releaseThe Lonny Breaux Collection, and "Whip Appeal" which was released in 2012.[37] In 2012, Ocean commented again on his blog that "Nostalgia Lite is "never coming out."[37]
Ocean embarked on a six-date concert tour from November 5 to November 15, 2011, throughNorth America andEurope to promote both the mixtape and his other musical projects.[38] Originally, six shows were scheduled with aNew York City performance at theBowery Ballroom on the 6th. The original date for that show was postponed to the 27th, and that an additional show on the 28th had been added.[39] The reported reason was because Ocean was sick.[39] The performances featured noopening act, and the only performer on stage at any given time was Ocean.[40]
Rolling Stone reviewed the debut show, calling Ocean awkward at times, though they stated that "fortunately his dispassionately told stories of love and loss in a world that assumes impermanence could handle the load of the audience."[40]MTV commented that it took Ocean "some time to warm up to the crowd" at his debutNew Orleans performance, though they noted the performance started the tour to a "promising start".[41] MTV later reviewed the New York performance on the 27th and called Ocean "an audience charmer".[42]The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica gave a positive review to the same New York performance, calling Ocean a "versatile singer" and writing that "in his elegant, savvy, slightly crooked postsoul, he shifts sneakily between the two topics, singing about love as a byproduct of music and using the subject of music to dig deep about love."[43]
The set lists to the various shows varied, though singles "Swim Good" and "Novacane" were performed at all shows. Others tracks like "LoveCrimes", "Dust" and "American Wedding" were performed at a majority of the shows, and "Strawberry Swing" "We All Try" were performed four times each.[44] Portions of "No Church in the Wild" and "Made in America", along with "I Miss You" and "Thinkin Bout You" were also performed.[41][45] The performances of "American Wedding" were accompanied by comedic moments where Ocean played the sample from "Hotel California" onGuitar Hero: World Tour.[40] Ocean performed at the April 2012Coachella Musical Festival.[46]

Nostalgia, Ultra received widespread acclaim from critics. AtMetacritic, which assigns anormalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the mixtape received anaverage score of 83, based on nine reviews.[47] Anupa Mistry fromExclaim! called it "sophisticated", "pulsing and expansive", and wrote that Ocean's "alt sensibilities" prove "musically intuitive"[54]AllMusic's Andy Kellman felt that Ocean's uniqueness lies in his "wistful, often self-effacing perspective and numbed, restrained delivery" rather than his production choices, which he found "neither exceptional nor particularly left of center".[22]Steven Hyden ofThe A.V. Club called the mixtape "dark, playful, a little tasteless, and absolutely riveting".[21] Connor O'Neill ofThe Miscellany News wrote that, "by funneling [the primary means of R&B decadence] through his diverse and diverging palette, Ocean literalizes both his nostalgic impulses and the odd future of which he is a part."[15]The Village Voice's Sean Fennessey called him "an intuitive R&B stylist, with a firm sense of song structure."[20] Rudy K. of Sputnikmusic felt that the mixtape sounds "so fresh, so real" for a member from Odd Future and stated, "With Ocean, it never sounds contrived."[52]
In his review forMSN Music,Robert Christgau described Ocean's "romantic laments" as "models of texture, respect, and profound loss, their beats subtle, seductive, weird, and seized like time whether he's deploying 'songs for women' that are soon trumped by Drake's, not feeling a porn-moonlighting dental student and her 'novacaine,' or annulling a courthouse wedding solemnized just before his bride turned in her term paper on hijab."[14]Pitchfork's Ryan Dombal commented that "There are distinct elements of Drake's melancholic paranoia andThe-Dream's high melodrama, too. But there's also a heady surreality surroundingNostalgia, Ultra that makes it unique."[3] Jon Caramanica ofThe New York Times called it "slick and intuitive ... full of astral soul that owes debts toTerence Trent D'Arby,Pharrell Williams, even Drake", adding that "[Ocean] sings casually but precisely, stretching out syllables as if he's forgetting to let them go."[55]NPR's Andrew Noz commented that "It's his songwriting, smart and subtle, that sets Ocean far apart from that pack", adding that "The finest moments ofNostalgia, Ultra orbit the same soul-baring and minutiae-obsessed space asMarvin Gaye's breakup opusHere, My Dear or any number ofPrince's more idiosyncratic ballads".[10] No Ripcord's Charlie Jebb wrote that "Nostalgia, Ultra has more than enough good stuff to establish Ocean as an artist to watch," calling it "[an] R&B record with crossover potential without sacrificing soul that creates a complete picture of its author, warts and all."[56]
Nostalgia, Ultra appeared on a number of professional lists ranking the best albums from 2011. The record was nominated for Best International Album at the 2012 SwedishGrammis Awards.[57]Pitchfork Media put it number 35 on its list of the year's top albums, writing that "Chris Breaux, who goes by Frank Ocean, is a maleR&B singer with male R&B contradictions: As much as he wants to listen to his heart, he can't completely ignore his dick."[16]The Guardian writer Tim Jonze named it the year's third best album, musing "unafraid to tackle suicide, abortion and absent fathers, this free mixtape introduced one of our most refreshing new R&B stars."[19]The A.V. Club ranked the album number 15 on its year-end list, commenting that "Nostalgia, Ultra became a runaway Internet hit that showed off Ocean's coaxing croon as well as his outré songwriting skills. Sweetly romantic, yet pensive and moody, Nostalgia is an R&B record for manics, from the hazy lament of 'Novacane' to the inward-looking contradiction of 'Songs For Women' to the clever pop remakes ofthe Eagles' 'Hotel California' andColdplay's 'Strawberry Swing'."[58]
Rolling Stone named it the 24th best album of the year, writing "the debut mixtape from the 24-year-old singer (and Odd Future member) is an avant-R&B killer."[59]Complex named it the fourth best album of the year and the second best mixtape.[60][61]Time named it the fifth best album of the year, and wrote that "Ocean also weaves audio of a tape recorder in rewind, video games andNicole Kidman's adulterous monologue fromEyes Wide Shut into his songs to give the album a personal feel — as if Ocean were gifting us with a collection of sounds that he finds emotionally meaningful."[62]Spin named it the 41st best album of the year whileMojo placed the album at number 49.[63][64] InThe Village Voice's annualPazz & Jop poll of American critics nationwide,Nostalgia, Ultra finished 16th among albums that were voted for that year.[citation needed] FormerVoice criticRobert Christgau named it the fourth best album of the year in his dean's list traditionally published to accompany the poll.[65]
Nostalgia, Ultra has also appeared on several professional listings of the best albums from its era, including decade-end lists byRolling Stone (76),[66]Spin (15),[67] and Christgau (15th).[68] In 2019, the album was ranked 41st onThe Guardian's 100 Best Albums of the 21st Century list.[69]
The track "Novacane" also received widespread critical acclaim. It was listed as one of the best songs of the year byThe New York Times,[70] Ology,[71]Spin,[72] Zimbio,[73] andPitchfork Media named both the video and the song as amongst the best of the year.[74][75]
Before the release ofNostalgia, Ultra, Ocean was a relatively unknown artist who made a majority of his money fromghostwriting.[5] Within six months, it was noted that Ocean had become the "go-to vocalhook man."[76] The release of the mixtape interested rap recording artist and producerKanye West, who was reported to be a big fan.[77] West invited Ocean to write and sing on two songs offWatch the Throne, a collaborative record with rapperJay-Z.[78] Frank wrote and provided vocals on tracks "No Church in the Wild" and "Made in America".[77] SingerBeyoncé heard of the mixtape through her husband Jay-Z and was a fan of it. She subsequently invited Ocean to co-write "I Miss You" for her album4.[79] Discussing how she first heard of Ocean andNostalgia, Ultra, she commented; "Jay-Z had a CD playing in the car one Sunday when we were driving toBrooklyn. I noticed his tone, his arrangements, and his storytelling. I immediately reached out to him—literally the next morning. I asked him to fly toNew York and work on my record.[79]
West also offered to appear on Ocean's debut album, but Ocean refused, saying "as much as I want to work with you… I kind of want to do this without you. I kind of want to do it on my own."[80] RapperNas was also a fan of the mixtape, writing that "He's new, he's fresh. He doesn't sound fly-by-night. The moment you hear it — I hear what he's sayin', and I relate."[81] Nas also stated onTwitter that he and Ocean were collaborating on a song from Nas's tenth studio albumLife Is Good, though the material never made the album.[81]Chicago born rapperLupe Fiasco expressed a positive opinion of the release too.[82]
Ocean quickly became Odd Future's main singing highlight, providing vocal hooks on Odd Future albums likeBlackenedWhite,Goblin, andThe Odd Future Tape Vol. 2.[83][84][85] Ocean toured with the group on several occasions and made appearances during their shows.[32] On January 5, 2012, theBBC announced that Ocean had finished in second place of the BBC'sSound of 2012 poll.[5] In addition,MTV described the mixtape as a "cult classic".[86] On August 2, 2012, the music video for "Swim Good" was nominated for threeMTV Video Music Awards:Best Direction andBest Male Video, with Ocean being nominated forBest New Artist for his work with the video.[87]

In March 2012, controversy arose over the track "American Wedding", whichsamples The Eagles' song "Hotel California".Don Henley of the Eagles "had threatened legal action over Ocean's track", claiming that Ocean's version of the song was illegal.[88] The track was widely removed from the internet following this controversy, being removed from music sharing sites such asYouTube.[89] A spokesman for the band announced that alawsuit would be filed against Ocean if he performed the song live.
"Frank Ocean did not merely 'sample' a portion of the Eagles' Hotel California; he took the wholemaster track, plus the song's existing melody, and replaced the lyrics with his own. This is not creative, let alone 'intimidating.' It's illegal. For the record, Don Henley has not threatened or instituted any legal action against Frank Ocean, although the Eagles are now considering whether they should."[90]
Several publications noted that the song was released for free on a non-profitable mixtape, and that "live covers of famous songs are common in live performances", and that sampling is a common practice on mixtapes.[89] Ocean responded to the controversy via hisTumblr account:
"He (They) threatened to sue if I perform it again. I think that's fuckin awesome. I guess if I play it atCoachella it'll cost me a couple hundred racks. If I don't show up to court, it'll be a judgement against me & will probably show up on my credit report. Oh well. I try to buy my shit cash anyway. They asked that I release a statement expressing my admiration for Mr. Henley, along with my assistance pulling it off the web as much as possible. Shit's weird. Ain't this guy rich as fuck? Why sue the new guy? I didn't make a dime off that song. I released it for free. If anything I'm paying homage."[91]
Ocean performed the song live occasionally with an altered arrangement not utilizing the original "Hotel California" sample.
Henley eventually spoke out on the controversy in late 2015, defending his stance on the 2012 litigation threat and referring to Ocean as a "talentless little prick".[92][93] These comments sparked outcry, withStereogum claiming that Henley was "yelling at clouds again", while pointing to the hypocrisy in Henley's condemnation of Ocean for creating a homage to his song while he and the Eagles were "incapable of acknowledging the deep influence" that theAfrican-American-pioneered genre ofR&B had on them.[94]
