Frank Ocean performed a sublime, stripped back rendition of lead album cut ‘Thinkin Bout You’ last night at the MTV VMAs. Backed by just a lone guitar and some rather fancy stage decorations, the performance was so stirring that you could hear the audience’s screams just as loudly as Frank’s pitch-perfect flow.
