"Dying for Your Love" is yet another in the sea of leaked material we've gotten from Mr. Frank Ocean. This time he's enlisted James Fauntleroy -- yes, the guy who Chris Brown compared him to on Twitter, which resulted in the silliest beef (and funniest comeback) that I've seen on the site -- to help with some of the vocal work. The song is definitely in Ocean's emo wheelhouse, although it has more of a mainstream edge to it (side note: The Five Heartbeats must be on my mind from yesterday, because the minute I heard the chorus, I flashed back to the hilarious "Every night I've got to fight to prove my love" scene). I must say, though Frank's voice isn't the best I've ever heard, his songwriting skills are top notch. I guess that's why he's the R&B hot property of the moment. Don't expect to see him go away anytime soon. His oft-delayed Nostalgia LITE is still scheduled to be released shortly, and he's even made a video for his track "Swim Good."
