BLONDE FRANK OCEAN FULL ALBUM DOWNLOAD FREE FULL VERSION
German visual artist Wolfgang Tillmans wrote the intro, “Device Control,”and, as confirmed on Instagram, that’s also him on the closing tech monologue, “Higgs,” all about how you can “stream your life.” (How meta of you, Frank.) Tillmans says Ocean asked to sample the unreleased “Device Control” three weeks ago and then, unbeknownst to Tillmans, released the full version on Endless - though he isn’t bothered by it. (Ocean also wrote songs for Blake’s latest album.) Drake and Kanye West collaborator Sampha has vocals on “Alabama,” and Björk producer Arca is credited with “programming” on “Mine.” Underground songwriter Alex G played guitars on “Wither,” “Slide on Me,” “Rushes,” and “Higgs.” Randomly, Ocean’s stylist Rita Zebdi has a vocal credit on “Commes Des Garcons.”
For Ocean’s reworked version of the Aaliyah cover, he had Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood on string orchestration, the London Contemporary Orchestra (conducted by Robert Ames), Om’mas Keith (who won a Grammy for Channel Orange) on piano, and James Blake on synthesizers. Grammy-nominated singer Jazmine Sullivan is the most-featured artist, with vocal credits on four songs. Kanye West’s right-hand men Mike Dean and Noah Goldstein mastered and mixed the album, respectively. VEGYN, who also apparently did the music for Ocean’s Calvin Klein ad). Its producers are Frank Ocean, nostalgia, ULTRA producer Troy Noka, So-Cal’s Michael Uzowuru, and Joe Thornalley (a.k.a. The list of credited collaborators (identified at the film’s end) run the gamut from the familiar elite to the totally obscure. Endless includes 18 songs altogether, including a new version of his previously heard cover of Aaliyah’s “At Your Best (You Are Love),” originally by the Isley Brothers. The original stream played various looped instrumentals on August 19, during the likely final stream, those same beats were played with lyrics and vocals from Ocean, among others. Apple’s only instructions so far: “Keep an eye out this weekend for more from Frank.” “The singer has scrapped that title in favor of an alternate title,” they report. I got twooo versions.”) RS also says that Boys Don’t Cry, the name, has been replaced. (Bear in mind that when Ocean originally teased Boys Don’t Cry for the first time last summer, he did say “I got two versions. Rolling Stone reports that Endless is a “different project from his proper new album” and that Boys Don’t Cry will arrive this weekend. As to whether this is Boys Don’t Cry, the album Ocean has ostensibly been teasing for over a year - and which was most recently meant to be released two weeks ago - the answer appears to be no. According to Apple, it’s a “visual album,” words previously used to describe Beyoncé’s last two releases. Internet sleuths thought they had discovered that warehouse’s location to be in Brooklyn, though a listing for it (which does look very similar) now claims Ocean was never there.Īll we can say for now is it’s one album. The film itself features all the same footage from the web stream of Ocean building a staircase (a Twitter rumor proved correct) from scratch in a large warehouse, only it depicts multiple clones of Ocean transposed into the same scenes. Still, it’s something! But what? Below, we try to answer all your burning questions as best we can.Īs has previously been suggested, Endless is a 45-minute “video art project” directed by Francisco Soriano (though he’s credited as director of photography, with Ocean as director), who previously directed Ocean’s video for “Lost.” According to artist Tom Sachs - the man responsible for that massive boom box sitting in the back right corner of the room - it was filmed “in the past year,” and Sachs “advised Ocean on some carpentry issues” for the project. According to Apple, it’s the first of more to come from Ocean this weekend - meaning, this is or isn’t the album you’ve waited four years to devour. Dry your eyes, Frank Ocean has been found and so has his new music! After two weeks of cryptic, intermittently streamed carpentry, Ocean seemingly completed work on his stairs Thursday night and promptly (by his watch) dropped a new 45-minute visual album, Endless, on iTunes and Apple Music.
