Frank Ocean’s<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0indelible music can creep up on you like, well, a moon rising over a river. \u00a0First you’re engrossed by the enlightening hues of his vocals, followed by the shimmering effects thereon. It’s a winning package repeatedly borne out on his recordings. This week Ocean<\/strong> released (on Valentine’s Day<\/strong>) his winsome, yet world-weary, take on the moody chestnut Moon River\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>written by the masterful Henry Mancini<\/strong> and Johnny Mercer<\/strong>. The song was originally heard in the sad, sad film Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/strong><\/em> and made most famous by crooner Andy Williams<\/strong>. Check out Ocean’s<\/strong> superb cover of the song below, followed by the song’s breathy cover by Audrey Hepburn<\/strong> in the movie, and Williams’<\/strong> worthy take. The song has been covered by countless artists, but Ocean’s<\/strong> takes it to the heavens.<\/p>\n
