You can listen to the album here if you don't want to go through Apple's BS - http://remysounds.com/listen-frank-ocean-blonde-full-album-free/

Solo is fucking beautiful!

alternate album art from Franks tumblr

I like the original cover but I think this one is way cooler.

 

[Mik317]

this shit fire

 

[Lifejumper]

Just finished listening. WHEW.

 

[EightBitNate]

Really like it so far, but kinda bummed there's no grand sounding stuff like on Channel Orange. This album is really laid back so far. Will have to keep listening before I pass final judgement.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

i took a pic but if I uploaded that it would break a record for biggest photo ever.

I just saw the preview.

Need to resize

 

[bobbychalkers]

Guitar driven R&B is the shit and this could very well be the best body of work I've heard all year so far.

[InaudibleWhispa]

Is the Beatles credit "each day of the year" (Here, There and Everywhere) in White Ferrari or is there a sample I didn't hear?

 

[Mush]

Is it Blonde or Blond? My OCD can't take this.

 

[Lifejumper]

Blonde.

Blond

You're really not gonna like when the third version - Blondé - gets released...

 

[wenis]

a bit of both. for fun.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Is this different music from the video thing from the other day?

 

[Bounceounce]

Is this different music from the video thing from the other day?

Obviously.
Otherwise this wouldn't be four pages nor would this thread even exist.

[solarus]

Kill me why am i out of london i need the magazine and cd ;;

 

[Var]

I hope this gets a vinyl release.

The cover of the CD version from the magazine (which has a different tracklist with 2-3 new songs)

 

[Red_Man]

There's no "Pyramids" on this, but this album is also on a different level. It's so layered and in depth, I'm loving it so far, but it will take me a couple weeks to really soak in the entire project. Off my first couple listens, Pink + White might be my favourite track so far.

 

[Courage]

I appreciate how sparse, yet more inspired, this is compared to Channel Orange. I like it a lot.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Is the zine ever gonna be sold online? I need that shit fam!

 

[Lifejumper]

Thank god he didnt do a weeknd and peak on his first album.

 

[killertofu]

Time to roll up a blunt and dig in

 

[Red_Man]

Anyone figure out which song(s) Kanye had a helping hand with?

Thank god he didnt do a weeknd and peak on his first album.

More like he didn't sell out after his first album. Pretty big difference in how they go about making music.

And now we lost PND.

Oh well, I'll still bump their old stuff.

 

[Kyonashi]

Damn are the zines really going for $500 on eBay

I have two...

 

[KingKong]

I liked it on first listen but I find it funny that an artist who cares enough to delay the album because the release date leaked and they want it to be a suprise would make it a 2 week apple exclusive

 

[ThisOne]

Apple Music exclusive? Fuck that shit

 

[Daria]

Boys don't cry the third album though

"I got two versions"

ENDLESS - BLOND.

boys don't cry = blond

Apple Music exclusive? Fuck that shit

they're all pawns now

 

[Damerman]

this album reminds me of Shields by grizzly bear... for no real reason. it just does. I like this.

 

[chaislip3]

Lol there are pictures of Ye getting McDonalds in the magazine

 

[Gaz_RB]

"I got two versions"

2 versions refers to the song and video differences in Nikes

 

[Fjordson]

Ivy is real nice.

 

[wenis]

Damn are the zines really going for $500 on eBay

I have two...

.......

 

[Red_Man]

Wonder if the magazine will be made available on his website?

Kind of shitty if it's only available in 4 cities...

For real....

 

[Damerman]

Pink + White

DAMN. DAMN.

fucks with this track the most to.

 

[GringoSuave89]

And now we lost PND.

Oh well, I'll still bump their old stuff.

don't remind me...

 

[SomedayTheFire]

was p3 that bad?

 

[Red_Man]

The only thing I hate here is the beginning of Nikes, no reason to botch it like that.

was p3 that bad?

P3 is one of the worst things I've heard this year. I literally can't remember a single song that wasn't one of the singles. It's good for you if you're having problems sleeping.

 

[all of my hate]

Man, Seigfried is my "Pyramids"

was p3 that bad?

Yes.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

was p3 that bad?

I refuse to believe anyone's ever listened to the whole album in one go

an impossible task

 

[Ristifer]

Second half of Self Control... yes.

 

[Fjordson]

Solo and Self Control whew. Like how laid back this is.

 

[Heel]

Solo (Reprise)

 

[-GJ-]

Nikes is different on the magazine version. It's longer (6:10) and features a verse by the Japanese rapper KOHH.

 

[all of my hate]

I think Erykah Badu is making rounds in Toronto.

 

[Jacobi]

4 tracks in amd I think this the album of the century
