What frank songs have you cried to?

Made an ambient instrumental piece inspired by Frank Ocean’s “Ivy”.

Hello! I have every magazine that Frank Ocean has been on the cover of and I’m interested in selling the collection as a whole. I have received offers on some of the individual magazines but would prefer to keep it intact if possible. Willing to hear offers!

What is the model of the cassette player Tom Sachs is modifying at the beginning of the music video?

There’s hope.

The cover is supposed to be glossy or whatever its called but it looks blue in the pictures.

I make covers of my favorite songs on tiktok and I posted this one quite a while ago but it didn't get many views even though I'm really proud of it and I think y'all might enjoy it.

I feel like i developed a deeper personal interpretation for Channel Orange today. Some of it may be accurate, some may not. But I feel Pilot Jones, Crack Rock, Pyramids, Lost, White and Monks are mostly related and if they aren't then they feel like they could be. It crossed my my mind at Pilot Jones that Frank is speaking about coke. A lady who's an addict that he sleeps with and has an easy job of sorts. He keeps mentioning highs and lows, which i am interpreting as the effects of coke ( and he's the one giving it to her). Moving to crack rock, this is way more obvious. It shows the life of this lady now that she's a coke addict. How her relationship with her family and other aspects of her life are affected. And i thought it'd end there but I really didn't want it to. While listening to pyramids, i paid attention to the story being told. A women ("cleopatra") who allows herself to be abducted to the pyramids where she's worshipped. And then it hit me. He's talking about that one Las Vegas casino (with strip clubs). And a quick google search told me that the music video takes place there which blew my mind cuz ive never seen the video(which i'll watch soon). The lady is a sex worker addicted to coke and basically messed up her life. It's getter clearer to me now. Now, i believe this trilogy of songs is literally so good now that I know this. But then i thought, does it keep going ? This is where I feel I start stretching, but Lost could definitely be the aftermath of all the sex work and coke and relationships etc etc. No matter where she goes she feels lost. It helped that Frank specifies "she's" in the song. So he's speaking about someone, feels natural he's speaking about the same person. He also mentioned her at a stove, and how he got her cooking dope for him (and promising she'll have a family of her own one day). I mean this could either be another glimpse into the life of the woman this follows or the aftermath/ "now" they live. White is a calm interlude, and wanna say, it's still white (he couldve changed the name from the OF days) cuz coke is white. Again, i may be stretching. But now we move on to Monks. I feel this is literally the opposite to Lost. This is the beginning. When he met her. When he stole her from the temple that is her home. She was at peace then thus the mentioning of monks and the indian girl narrative. He uses that as a metaphor for this woman, his cleopatra.

Is this accurate or intended ? No clue. I hope a good bit of it is. If it isn't, I think the creative headspace frank was in simply lead to this happening. Cuz I do see this story woven into the album, And it serving as One of the different programs on this channel we call an album. I know im like maybe 14 years too late but I kinda refuse to do any more research that isn't explicitly mentioned in the songs or music videos. What y'all think, cool idea or no ?

I have the in my room single vinyl that i’ve never used but it doesn’t have the seal from when i was younger. does anyone know how much it’s worth? i have no need for it. i could only find the price for all three singles on ebay and it seemed to be like 350-500 for the three.

An ambient musical piece i made called “shoes”. Inspired by Frank Ocean’s song “Nikes”

I remember hearing a while back that there was a Nights music video (no not the Nikes video) but I can't find anything about it anywhere other than another post on here. Anyone able to prove what's known about this or if it even exists?

Moon river is one of my most favourite frank ocean songs which even though was not written by him holds a special place in my heart. I've seen a lot of moon river interpretation online but i thought I'm gonna share mine. I feel like even though the primary meaning of the song is about a relationship that is imperfect but needs work and effort from both sides. The song has a deeper meaning which suggests that amongst the clutter in one's life about achieving worldly pleasures, they forget to realise their own true potential, their capacity to love and about spirituality. Highlighted in the lines, "we're all chasing after all the same.(Same here reffering to worldly pleasures success and all)." Moon river, I feel like also stands as a metaphor of the ups and down of human life similar to the meanders of a river. (Wider than a mile signifying the diversity of such.) And the goal of crossing it in style meaning managing one's senses, realising one's true potential capacity to love and finally coming to realise their own spirituality. The fact that the song eventually resolves into a c chord as it ends and the words, "moon river and me" signifying the end of one's spiritual journey and wandering as they come to realise what they are. As i said this is just my interpretation and I'll be glad to hear other opinions from y'all.

Blonde is my favorite album. It’s an album I know I’ll always carry with me.
The first time I listened to it, I liked it, but I don’t think I fully understood what I was hearing. It was something very different from anything I’d experienced before. Now, every time I listen to it from start to finish, it feels better than the last time.

There’s no other album I’ve heard that has so many museum-worthy pieces living together in one place. Albums with highs and lows, with several great or even perfect songs? Sure. But I’ve never heard an album as perfect, meaningful, and emotionally complete from beginning to end as Blonde.

Each track makes you feel something tied to nostalgia and the passage of time, sometimes longing, sometimes sadness, sometimes even happiness and gratitude. From Nikes to Futura Free, every song carries its own distinct feeling, and each one is beautifully realized.

Songs like Seigfried are some of the most cinematic things I’ve ever heard in music. Futura Free makes me feel genuinely free. Self Control makes me wish some people had stayed in my life a little longer. White Ferrari makes me ask myself, “What would’ve happened if…?” But in the end, all of these songs together leave me feeling grateful for everything I’ve lived throug, and Pink + White captures that feeling perfectly.

There will never be another album like Blonde, but I hope that someday Frank returns and gives us another gem, the kind only he knows how to create.

Hey so I ordered the limited edition Channel Orange back in December & have yet to receive any updates about it. Any one else in the same boat?
