On April 17th, 2012, Frank Ocean put out “Thinkin Bout You” as the lead single to his legendary Channel Orange album. Yesterday, Kaash Paige put out a crazy intimate song under the name of “Frank Ocean.” The cut came with a lyric video that dedicates the track to Frank’s hit at the beginning.
You typically never see artists paying this direct of homage to artists they take influence from. With Kaash, it only seems to add to the romanticism of the wavy autotune trap ballad she’s given us.
Kaash is a name you’re probably hearing about more and more lately. The teenage artist from Dallas, TX rose quickly into the spotlight. First, she virally rose with her Tik-Tok hit “Love Songs.” Then, she found her way onto multiple Apple Music playlists.
After subsequently releasing her debut project Parked Car Convos, Kaash has come racing onto the scene. There’s been zero resistance from the R&B and hip-hop community in welcoming Kaash with open arms. This could be due to her homegrown and truly sincere vibe.

The song finds Kaash Paige hitting a downtempo beat with incredibly spacy guitar riffs in the background. You’ll hear the 19-year-old crooning about writing love songs as a method of therapy. She details an intimate story of a past lover with no metaphors necessary.
She directly relates their relationship to the famous Frank Ocean track. By doing this, she’s fully illustrating her thoughts, feelings, and emotions at that specific time. This is the core of Kaash’s appeal aside from her talents as a dreamy vocalist. She’s honest, blunt even, and still gets you moving hella sensual with it.
Enjoy the collection of clips of Kaash at various functions below, or back in her room twisted up with emotions. You’d be crazy not to keep your eyes on what she’s got coming next. Kaash Paige keeps proving her authenticity and true love for music with her new single, “Frank Ocean,” listen below.
