[jon bones]

can't believe i'll be spinning this over the weekend

 

[giga]

Album length has been revealed?

Where is that tracklist at. 17 hours until this is released.. Apparently.

Plot twist: it's only one track and that's what we've been listening to this whole time.

 

[gofreak]

I'm so excited for this.

It's a shame his pre-Channel Orange/Lonny Breaux stuff doesn't seem to be available on iTunes or Spotify or whatever (?) I defer to youtube to listen to it, but so often it gets pulled.

 

[all of my hate]

I should probably build something just to prepare of an incoming major L tonight. I currently don't have anything that could possible hold the size of that kind of L.

Form both Frank and Travis.

 

[Haribi]

Never been this excited for an album before. Hope it comes close to his previous work.

Fuck this exclusivity shit tho

New snippets

Get them while they're hot.

Sounds like more John Mayer solos are on the record.

Good lord.

I'm not sure if it'll drop at 11pm tbh. It all depends on when he gets back on the livestream. I'm pretty sure it's gonna come out whenever he finishes what he's working on.

Fuck yeah Johnny Mayer. Playin that guitar like whoa.

 

[VexMythoclast]

Holy shit, Frank Ocean is totally going all in with the dream pop aesthetics ala Beach House. It's really happening isn't it.....

That second clip is absolutely beautiful and not at all what I would have expected from Frank. Sounds like 80's guitar pop or something. Are we sure these are from the album?

Kinda wish I hadn't listened to that clip. Gonna be massively disappointed now if that's not on the record.

 

[all of my hate]

He's back on.

the strings he played a couple days ago were really beautiful too. i'm gonna be disappointed if a lot of this doesn't make the album. it's great.

 

[chaislip3]

He's back on.

The final stretch, it looks like.

It's happening, isn't it?

We either takin' an L or a W tonight.

They're around. The internet is a big place

Apple Music updates at 11pm est.

That's about five hours from now.

He's worked every day so far for about five hours.

 

[Fjordson]

I was just expecting a decent spacey R&B album, but these teasers are out of left field in the best way possible.

That second clip is on repeat rn. Sounds like some Cocteau Twins shit or something.

I was holding out on the site and these clips until I read this but damn you are right!

 

[Fjordson]

The song + the clip of A Man and a Woman is really hitting me in the feels.

 

[4444244]

Can I expect a cover version?

 

[chaislip3]

1995 instrumental playing right now.

 

[Nothus]

Ooooh this riff is nice and mellow.

 

[chaislip3]

This guitar woooowww

 

[all of my hate]

Looks like he's gone again.

 

[Gin_And_Ironic]

Very, very, excited for this. Hoping it's something I'll wanna listen to all weekend. It's been forever since Channel Orange.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

So this won't be on Spotify for two weeks? That's fucking dumb.

Not that I will, but i wonder how shady it is to pirate the album until it's on Spotify in two weeks?

 

[bman94]

The fuck, music exclusivity? Unless I'm deliberately trying to find new music to purchase, I hate fucking with music streaming services.

 

[Glazed]

Gonna feel so good going into this blind.

 

[wenis]

Exclusivity in 2016 doesn't really mean shit. Especially with music. If you're sly enough you can find anything floating in the shallow end of the internet pretty easily. No exclusive.

 

[all of my hate]

Looks like he back again. Carrying boxes out the screen (to the left of the workstation). Louder talking in the background. Seems they're prepping something?

 

[GoodMorning]

idk if these are new snippets but they sound heavenly

 

[all of my hate]

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

And I have an 8 hour flight tomorrow

Perfect

 

[hokahey]

I can't believe it's finally happening. I haven't been this excited for an album in ages.

 

[all of my hate]

 

[overcast]

Is this actually gonna happen tonight?

A. Yes
B. No
C. L
D. All of the above

 

[all of my hate]

In case it doesn't, here is a free, 4K, UHD - L - that I made for y'all to print endlessly: http://i.imgur.com/8VyET52.png

 

[VexMythoclast]

Goddamn, if nothing else when this album does drop we might see less use of the fucking annoying "L" meme or slang or whatever thrown around.

How can the answer be yes & no? What, is Frank going to drop something and the something's gonna be a slip of paper in a limited edition Frank Ocean IKEA cabinet that, when all the snippets combine, help the people make the album for him? "Input this drum pattern into Ableton", "here's the first bar", "Use your handy Moog Modular synth to play this set of chords."

 

[jaypah]

Time is moving so fucking slowly.

 

[Red_Man]

I still don't believe it's happening, my body is not ready.

Resisting listening to those clips so this can be as pure as possible.

 

[esmith08734]

Bumping Channel Orange, one of my favorite albums.

Come on, Frank.

 

[overcast]

Goddamn, if nothing else when this album does drop we might see less use of the fucking annoying "L" meme or slang or whatever thrown around.

Jeez. This fucking guy.

 

[Elginer]

cannot wait. I need this.

 

[all of my hate]

I'm loving this current sample.

 

[DietRob]

Whatever this is playing on Frank's website right now is fucking dope.
Such a chill and funky vibe.

 

[esmith08734]

Nikes ft. Chance.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

What time does it drop eastern time?

11pm EST is when iTunes/Apple Music updates
