Yeah. I get the point of the video, but it greatly undermines the incredible heartbreak Frank must be and will be suffering under for the foreseeable future. Raising a little brother for eighteen years only to have him die unexpectedly must crush a man. I wouldn't hold it against him for a second if he quit music forever just because of that.
Yeah man thats a trash part about the industrialisation of art. Contracts forcing creatives to create in a certain time frame for many will hinder the quality. Some artists got so much energy and skill they can make refreshing work in a short time. But I’d rather artists prioritised quality>quantity for sure
Am I the only way that would be fine if he never dropped another album? I mean artists should retire sometimes similar to sports athletes. You’ve made millions, don’t wanna keep saying the same sh*t till it don’t hit no more. I’d be fine with a few singles + features every now and then like 3stacks
Frank is a “unicorn” artist in my view. You can’t compare him to anyone else in his time. He disappears from the public eye then hits you with an album that makes you reflect on your views on music and what you want to hear. There will never be another frank ocean. Another great video, keep it up ☝️
blonde is easily my favorite album of all time. the overall sense of nostalgia really struck a chord with me and i’ve listened to it hundreds of times over and over again
Incredible album. It came out when I was living in Canada (from Australia) and years later now I'm home and I listen it gives me nostalgic chills unlike any other album
I like Tyler the creator's way of making music, he has a cycle of dropping an album every two years aprox. (dropping some singles in between) and he always manages to drop fresh music which is constantly being better and better, even tho he has a cycle of 2 years he drops good quality music and a good quantity of it, so i think Tyler is a great mix of both quality and quantity PD: Loved the video! ❤
Honestly, I wouldn’t be mad if frank didn’t drop for another couple of years. It’s refreshing to know he’s in a position where if he wanted to drop something he would and has the privacy unlike most artists nowadays. I really hope he’s doing okay, especially with everything to do with this brother. I still see people begging him to drop the album even after the news is just disrespectful imo. Every project he’s put out has just been a classic and can’t wait when he does come out what’s next for him. Also dude great video, loved the editing on this one. Keep it up !
Personally I really appreciate a slower album cycle because quality > quantity. With Frank’s albums, I love that I know the words and melodies to all the songs and can recall them so easily because I’ve grown with them and replayed them multiple times over multiple years. Artists who release regularly large bodies of work 18+ songs/album don’t have that kind of staying power in your mind. I kinda wish all artists were better at curating and streamlining their albums bc 20+ songs is way too much imo…
His independent feeling is up to him meanwhile his fans/base interrupted him for begging more music rather than questioning how's everything goes so far...
Frank is the voice of this generation because he managed to encapsulate the main feeling this whole late 80's early 90's babies has experienced most of their lives: nostalgia.
Frank has been putting out music, just not an entire album. Since 2016 he has put out two singles every year and maybe he creates something when he feels inspired.
finally I have listeners who understand quantity and quality, it's the same issue with Kendrick, if you connect with these artists you won't trip to wait, I know it'll be fire and greatly worked when it does come out
really really really really well made loved it - I really hope he releases something though and i'll wait forever for it cause he's music is so timeless.
Nostalgia ultra changed the way I looked at r&b and that eyes wide shut sample was chilling Channel orange is my fav, but blond has the best replay value of any album I have ever listened to.
I love and respect the way he handles music. True fans know. His music is so much deeper and meaningful than what we hear on the regular. It’s crazy that you said quality > quantity because I was literally on a date earlier today, and he asked me who my favorite artist was and I said Frank Ocean. After I said that he made a face and said, he doesn’t even put on music. And I was like, because it’s quality over quantity. All I can do is chuckle because if you know, you know…. As a true fan of Frank Ocean, I don’t feel the need to rush the process. Other people like the guy I went on a date with, who don’t listen to him regularly, measure his relevancy/success/fan base by how often he puts out music. Lol and it’s honestly laughable because it just goes to show how much depth people lack. S/N: won’t be going on a date with him again
i think quality over quantity really depends on the artist. because there are some artists where dropping frequently has really worked for them such as artists like tyler who drop every other year, or rappers like jpegmafia who just drop whenever they feel like it. but overall i do think quality matters way more than quantity, frank ocean could announce hes never making music again and i can’t say id be too upset because the music hes already given has so much value already. but frank himself has proven himself as an artist very early on, there are still artists i feel have yet to reach their potential or expand their range yet and i do think it at the end of the day it really depends on the artist.
My fav Frank album is 100% nostalgia, ultra. Shit is so beautiful, and has some great tracks, I dont see why everyone thinks that Blonde is better, Blonde may be better in a storytelling way, but I dont think i actually play any songs outside of the album. Im always listening to Novacane, We all try, American Wedding basically everyday
Honestly my opinion of why he hasn’t made any music is because he isn’t happy with his audience. Specifically after the flognaw festival where his fans booed drake because they were let down. He was still doing concerts then and it seemed like he was about to do more shows and release a new album as he was releasing some tracks at the time. On the subject of homer and his brand I am shocked. There is a class action suit against him and his merch brand by some of his fans for not fulfilling orders so I don’t see why he thinks he will get more success or any trust from the public.
I think he was probably gonna drop one in 2020 because he was gonna headline Coachella that year and dropped a bunch of singles too. But we all know what happened. But he’s headlining Coachella 2023, so I’m guessing he’s gonna drop an album beforehand to play at the festival.
"Endless" is my favorite project. It feels like one cohessive story and has a raw sound to it compared to his other works. When I listen to Endless I never have a desire to skip over a track like I do some of his other songs.
choosing quantity over quality can definitely give an artist a lot of streams and overall boost their popularity, but choosing quality over quantity like frank has is what creates things like loyal fanbases giving said artist a much longer and more impactful run in the music industry.
This is a good video and I agree with the overall sentiment but I have a bit of criticism on the research end since this video uses Frank Ocean as an example. Frank was pretty active in late 2019 promoting his short-lived PrEP+ club nights in NYC. There’s a lot more I can talk about it but long story short he received a lot of backlash from fans and even HIV/AIDS organizations for it relating to both the club nights and merch he sold on his site at the time. This was supposed to be a regular weekly thing but there was only three and he dropped “In My Room” by the third one and disappeared again. He was gonna headline Coachella the following April but the pandemic hit. Like I said, I understand and even agree with what you’re saying in the video but Frank might not have been the best example. This is still a good video overall, keep up the good work!
endless is my favorite frank project because the notes he hits in some of those songs make it sound like pure heaven to me, the way it echoes and the melocholy of it all just comforts me so much and hits perfectly in the dark as I go to sleep, and my fav frank song is Acura integrel, just absolutely beautiful lyrics and production
i think quality and quantity both have their place. some people want to make really stunning albums but others want to just pump shit out because it's fun or love the flow. anyone held back in any sense by a company is fucked though, i don't like that. channel orange is my favorite frank project just because it feels so comprehensive and well put together, it tugs at my heart so much. however, blonde, endless, nostalgia ultra, and lonny breaux are fucking great in their own respects and i listen to them very frequently as well.
This rlly it with the real art doesn’t fade. Blond been playing in my head for like 2 years+ now and I can’t say the same for many other artist which shows quality over literally everything. Ily mr ocean
Frank ocean is one of those artists where his songs and albums are so impactful and have a much deeper meaning that you can never get tired of his music like I’ve been listening to him for 2 years and non of his music gets too repetitive to me he is 100% one of the most impactful artists of our generation and my favorite artist too
david lynch once said something like people loving closure, and maybe not exactly the same thing, i like the mystery of frank. i of course want more music but nothing gets me more excited then a super rare new frank related anything
I hope he drops in 2022 . I still listen to blond every day, I’m not sad and I don’t miss anyone but Frank’s music makes me feel and that more then any other artist in today’s music
True artists create for the sake of creation, not for the byproducts of creation. Its not a means to an end. Its the end itself. Thats why I respect Frank
Frank as a human being owes no one anything when it comes to putting out music or talking about what’s going on in his life. He has every right to not be in the public eye. This should be more than clear.
if FRANK OCEAN can give us albums that are timeless like BLOND then I have no problem waiting, but I am afraid of the cyberpunk 2077 effect of waiting years for a product only to be disappointed in the end. I trust FRANK OCEAN not to do that though!
as an artist this somewhat gave me the biggest comfort because ever since i started uni i drew less and less like one or two full piece and sketched here and there before being wayy too caught up in my schoolwork and mental health and other things. Ive even been loosing the energy to draw despite always coming up with ideas, and even feeling guilty for not posting as much despite having art ive already made for myself. All im saying that quality is definetly greater than quantity bc now that i recently got back to drawing a bit more i get to really focus on what to improve and the art styles, all while taking my damn time, and it makes me so damn happy.
I think it's channel orange because up until that point there was no other r&b album to me that didn't work with your normal generic crap love songs heartbreak and probably dancing music and a song about getting your girl back but channel orange actually had a concept and I couldn't believe it thank you Frank for changing my views on r&b 🍊
Nostalgia ultra because I feel like it introduces a sound that makes you feel a certain way which has stuck and became consistent with his later projects. Which explains the reason why it has so much replay value. To me, that sound is “nostalgic”. No pun intended
he actually has an older sister named Ashley but i’m not sure if they’re very close. Katonya has said that Ryan is Frank’s #1 fan and i’m sure frank got him that car. so yeah, i’m sure that dude it still grieving and doesn’t need any pressure from fans.
LOVE THIS VIDEO ESSAY! only critique is that could you add music in the background it just makes the essay more alive in a way but hey that’s just my opinion. keep doing u
I doubt we are getting anything soon with his tragic loss of his little brother… im happy with what we have an will be happy when he decides its time to come back. Just grateful that i am living at the same time as this man
might have something to do with not shipping merch that people been waiting years on, but whenever he does pop up now he almost always flexing... love franks music but pls mr ocean give people their money back
I think he started to come back with his late single such as Cayendo , In My Room etc… and was ready to release a project , but his brothers death must have stopped this ongoing process since its obvious Frank wouldnt release music while dealing with his loss
His debut album had me very nostalgic but blonde did it in for me... Such a unique artist I love the quality of his music which is something that is very rare in the industry... Definitely a breath a fresh air
I saw him biking in the street last week. He was smiling and looks alive and well. He just released a collab with Prada for his new jewelry line. His 18yo brother just died jn a car accident. No need for the deep diving😂 get off him.
Endless was the best for me as i got to see and feel how free he was during its composition. I absolutely would love moree from and i have faith it will be outstanding. Must still put quite a bit a pressure on him since now he has no excuse not to deliver quality when he does.
Point of Correction: Nostalgia Ultra Is a mixtape Channel Orange is Frank's first studio album Endless is a Visual Album Blonde is Frank's second studio album

Frank is the Sade of our generation. We just have to accept maybe having 6 of his albums within a 20 year time frame.
I’m fine with that
Frank said himself he finished his album, I’m guessing sometime next year. Either way, it’ll be a moment in music.
When and where did he say this??
no way when?
When????
He was supposed to headline coachella in 2020 so I’m guessing it was finished then

I guess it's working 😭 we love blonde. But damn I'd love to hear the throw away tracks .... Wow
Probably because he wants to have an actual life and his brother passed away so I would guess he doesn't want to talk about that
I just seen Frank on Met gala and was so surprised. I miss him so much and hopefully he continues to make music
Frank is the voice of this generation because he managed to encapsulate the main feeling this whole late 80's early 90's babies has experienced most of their lives: nostalgia.

he showed up to that event with a green fucking baby honestly such a power move
Frank has been putting out music, just not an entire album. Since 2016 he has put out two singles every year and maybe he creates something when he feels inspired.
thanks boba
Frank and kdot are the most important artists of this generation cuz their unique unicorns from their catalog and the mystique that surrounds it.

Channel orange is my fav, but blond has the best replay value of any album I have ever listened to.
Donda is one of the example that label f'ed up the album, that album clearly sounds unfinished yet universal put it anyway
I think quality over quantity is a very important rule to go by, but it’s literally been FIVE YEARS since the last Frank album

His debut album had me very nostalgic but blonde did it in for me... Such a unique artist I love the quality of his music which is something that is very rare in the industry... Definitely a breath a fresh air
I enjoy his entire catalog.
I saw him biking in the street last week. He was smiling and looks alive and well. He just released a collab with Prada for his new jewelry line. His 18yo brother just died jn a car accident. No need for the deep diving😂 get off him.
cause his brother died let him live
he literally lost his little brother yall
Endless was the best for me as i got to see and feel how free he was during its composition.
I absolutely would love moree from and i have faith it will be outstanding.
Must still put quite a bit a pressure on him since now he has no excuse not to deliver quality when he does.
Point of Correction:
Nostalgia Ultra Is a mixtape
Channel Orange is Frank's first studio album
Endless is a Visual Album
Blonde is Frank's second studio album
What if he was working on an album all this time.
Channel orange 😭😭❤❤ especially crack rock cause of the nostalgia i got when i heard it in GTA V last year
I like how you humanize people ✨
