the blond / blonde difference is to show feminine / masculine sides meaning the album is to interpret both sides feelings blond is masculine. adding the e is feminine. its a play on words.
Lol, My bad but I really did rule Andre 3stacks out, I haven't heard him in so long I just KNEW it wasn't him. The fact that he got him on this album makes it that much better now that I know.
Lmao don't try and play it off. Andre was on franks first album, so it's absolutely no surprise that he's on this one. Not to mention 3stacks got one of the most distinguishable voices in hip hop. It's okay. Just say you don't listen to outkast like that. lol I still fucks with you though.
CozyAszGG endless and blonde are both timeless projects and they are just on another level.. I still listen to them like I heard them for the first time
+Mike Craig He featured on Calvin Harris' new track. He did this when he dropped channel Orange too. He does features but doesn't release anything that's his.
Sōsuke true, but it even sounds like he's not far off from his next project. Even John Mayer said that Frank is working on some sort of "space reggae".
the reason it's referred to as Blonde and Blond is because they are the masculine and feminine way of spelling the word. Frank being bisexual, felt the need to title the album with both spellings of the word
Giacomo Delfin bruh he wrote a whole r&n album with 808s and heartbreak (slightly joking cause it’s not 100% r&b but there are elements) ALL IM SAYING IS THE GUY GOTS MORE THAN ENOUGH EXPERIENCE WRITIN SHIT LIKE THIS

The same day this album came out was the day me and my girlfriend went to our first beach trip and heard it on our way home. She passed away in December from cancer so this album was emotional as fuck to begin with. But grateful to have this album for the memories.
Song At The Beginning (0:00) : At Your Best Nikes : 1:18 (Muted) Ivy 2:02 Pink + White 2:55 Be Yourself 4:00 Solo 4:26 Skyline To 5:24 Self Control 6:04 Good Guy 7:33 Nights 7:52 Solo (Reprise) 8:48 Pretty Sweet 9:15 Facebook Story 9:31 Close To You 9:59 White Ferrari 10:23 Seigfried 11:10 Godspeed 12:03 Futura Free 12:35
seigfried oh my god. this is the song that has really grown with me over 6 years. the struggle for identity and self-discovery bounded by the lack of courage to step outside, despite this ever-present feeling that outside is where nirvana lies. for me, that mental outside has literally, like he says, been reduced to a dream within a dream of a thought. man, this song connects with me so intimately it almost feels like im living as an idea from franks mind.
Lonny started as a songwriter, according to a producer who used to work with him. Frank didnt want to be an artist at first. After his demos leaked 2010 that were meant for other artists he gained a fanbase and then Frank Ocean was born.
Siegfried is the most personal song I’ve ever heard. From the imagery to the production, it gets so personal to the point that you feel as if Frank HIMSELF is speaking to you face-to-face
It's literally tied for my favorite song of all time. It's intimate beyond anything I've ever heard, it's just the sonic picture of that longing in your head, like a melancholy string of conscious thought.
Frank Ocean fans shouldn't hate this album, I can understand if they were putting their expectations really really high. I don't understand people hating on it for not really being channel orange but this is basically a sequel to channel orange. I like how he made fast paced slow songs, if that makes sense. Fav Tracks: whole album Least Tracks: the last half of Futura Free, just because I don't UNDERSTAND the purpose of it
Stefos Stef there are some hardcore Channel Orange fans but for the most part Frank fans either love both albums equally or Blonde more, idk everything frank drops is beautiful tbh, it’s like an angel giving out blessings every now and then
this was literally posted a year ago but I've been going through the comments and I don't think anyone mentioned this... a looooooooooong time ago stevie wonder did a live talkbox cover of close to you by the carpenters, and the song 'close to you' in this album is its own entity but it samples tons from stevie wonder's rendition. I don't know if kanye had any part in it or not, but people have gotta know the origins of that song and its influences tbh
Mane music so damn good, I’m willing to wait 4 years for the next album. All of us hit the same groove move when the beat drop and his voice takes over your whole vibe
love how Shawn avoids spoilers in music like where he the songs go absolutely nuts vocally or lyrically he just cuts it so you experience it for yourself
This album came out right before I went to college...I listened to it the day it came out, like when this video was made, and thought it was dope while high af with my friend. Like maybe 3 or 4 weeks later I listened again by myself with headphones in bed with the lights off after getting high with my new college friends in my dorm room up here in Chicago 6 hours from home home. Man I cried like a god damn baby. Especially on Self Control. Then I listened to Channel Orange for the FIRST time right after and had a heavenly experience that night, cried a bit more as well.
16:07 I guess not...it’s 2021 butttt the good thing about him is that his music never gets old, it’s not that we’re tired of blonde, endless,Chanel orange and nostalgia ultra...it’s that we want more of that cuz it’s that good. We all pray for a new album and in the meantime we are not rushing him to do anything. Like always, he does things in his own way and time, and we love that about him too. God bless this man, his loved ones, his family, and his fans. rip Ryan breaux❤️
Isn’t it funny how when you listen to the album more and more, you start to notice things you never did before and it just makes it 1000x better? Cause big fucking mood🔥🔥

blond is masculine. adding the e is feminine. its a play on words.
andy slater mind blown
is this is the meaning between '2 versions' ? damnnnnnnnnnnnn

FuxkPhil late but no. The two versions is blonde and endless
Frank does those things.
self control is emotional man

haaha, good, was gonna say, as if u dont know who that was
Shawn Cee don't try to play it off you didn't know who that was
Lmao don't try and play it off. Andre was on franks first album, so it's absolutely no surprise that he's on this one. Not to mention 3stacks got one of the most distinguishable voices in hip hop. It's okay. Just say you don't listen to outkast like that. lol I still fucks with you though.

So. Fucking. Good
I listen to frank ocean everyday. Chanel orange, endless, blonde and occasionally nostalgia ultra
Frank crying when he made this album and review
lmao
Shawn recreated the album cover like 3 times per song
How did he not show the “iii iii iii know you gotta leave” part in self control 😩
Syd Ashmead honestly
He was crying too hard, he couldn't show it
nah he didnt put the "you got a roomate" in nikes in either
This album a good 10/10
yes, same to the album in your profile pic
god damn, MBDTF is fucking masterpiece, so is Blonde

Seigfried is really underrated and not many people mention it in reviews
exactly
Nikes Ivy Pink White Self Control Nights White Ferrari and Seigfried are the most talked about
Im a grown man and I don't even know from where these tears burst out when i listen to it
On bro
FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT
So after two years, y'all just not gonna mention seigfried? Underrated fr

I know it was sooo good
top 3 on the album imo
White Ferrari, followed with Siegfried, followed by Godspeed. Deadly combo after a breakup.
I think we can all agree this god damn album is fucking beautiful

Pink + White is definitely my favorite.
You can dance on it. You can cry on it. You can smile on it. But one thing you can’t do: you can’t hate on it. Frank Ocean is back 🙏
BRO! You skipped the BEST part of NIGHTS >:((((
that guitar
Probably started crying mid review
The end
From what I heard: your hair can turn green when attempting to make it blonde. So that's another theory for the album covee.
White Ferrari and Seigfried became my favorites after listeneing to this a MILLION times.
So sad that no-one notices James fucking Blake on White Ferrari. The fact that Frank got Blake and Stacks on this album just makes it better.
Ben Allan you talking about the end? That's Bon Iver
Jake Evans lmao nah
uhm it’s not Bon Iver or James lol it’s just Frank singing in a tender high pitch
maybe you’re talking about James’ songwriting on Godspeed?
5 years later and I’m still coming back to this
Only Frank could get Beyonce to only do background vocals, this album is so amazing
I'm glad I found this review because this the first album that's ever made me cry
