Like, give me a full motion-picture fantasy. Like, in order for me to satisfy expectations, there needs to be an outpouring of my heart or my experiences in a very truthful, vulnerable way. “The expectation for artists to be vulnerable and truthful is a lot, you know,” Frank continues. In the Tyrone Lebon-directed video for Nikes, Ocean is surrounded by McLaren whips. It’s just this realization that hit me: ‘Oh, right, it’s a choice whether you will be truthful or a liar.'”
And so to combine them sounds wise, but I don’t know if it is wise. “‘Strength’ and ‘vulnerability’ sound opposite as words. “I believed for a very long time that there was strength in vulnerability, and I really don’t believe that anymore,” Ocean begins.
For the time being it is influenced by “Detroit, Chicago, techno, house, French electronic” club music, but, more interestingly, Ocean is also convinced he’ll be lying more on the project. I wholeheartedly believe Frank can ascertain when he is being lied to, or when he feels the need to lie, but in a cover story for W Magazine the reclusive singer drops hints about his Blonde follow-up. It’s not completely clear if Frank Ocean knows what a lie is. The Verge reveals that the report made by NY Times detailing the release of Blonde for August 5th is what provoked Frank Ocean to push back the album drop to.
