It looks like Pitt has been listening to only one musician lately, "I find this young man so special," he says.
Actor Brad Pitt has said that he has been listening to Frank Ocean a lot amid his divorce from Angelina Jolie, his wife for 3 years.
Pitt and Jolie filed for divorce last year citing ‘irreconcilable differences‘ , weeks before Pitt was cleared of all claims of child abuse.
Frank Ocean, who released his latest album ‘Blonde’ around the same time Pitt was divorced, was named Best International Male at the 2017 VO5 NME Awards in February.
Speaking to GQ Style recently, Pitt said: “I’ve been listening to a lot of Frank Ocean. I find this young man so special. Talk about getting to the raw truth. He’s painfully honest. He’s very, very special. I can’t find a bad one.”
Other reports suggest that Pitt had been listening to Bon Iver during divorce listening sessions. Bon Iver later responded: “Cool. Someone get Brad at me, I guess? We should talk.”
Pitt also spoke in GQ of the “great irony” of him listening to Marvin Gaye’s divorce record ‘Here, My Dear’. “That kind of sent me down a road,” he said.
“I just got R&B for the first time. R&B comes from great pain, but it’s a celebration,” Pitt continued. “To me, it’s embracing what’s left. It’s that African woman being able to laugh much more boisterously than I’ve ever been able to.”
