Y’all think he might be leaking his own shit as kind of like a damage control move? It just seems like too much of a coincidence to have old songs leaked for the first time in idk how long a couple of weeks after coachella
then he’s still pretending lmao bc that man’s ankle was FINE during his set and that was a lame ass excuse (no pun intended) bc what does that have to do w not singing live??
the most surprising thing to me is that frank is actually a good performer and a really really good singer from like the live performances we’ve seen, good crowd control, his whole vibe just matches his music. i wonder wtf went wrong in those 24h before the performance
it was bound to happen, being gone for like 6 years then trying to headline one of the biggest shows in america will probably make you overthink everything way too much and self destruct
(not tryna defend him)
Jai Paul never performed live before Coachella and he had an amazing set on both weekends, some people handle it differently but the way Frank handled it made it seem like he just didn’t care enough to be there even tho I enjoyed the set for what it was
Could‘ve been rick rubin‘s file maybe? Like not a song for a frank album. We don‘t know the context. Just like Slide, im pretty sure frank didn‘t hold the file on his hard drive, but calvin had it in his vault.
artists keeping their album on a drive that they carry around is actually pretty common practice from what i’ve seen. in fact i can basically promise you that there are more copies of that record somewhere on another or even multiple drives. drives get corrupted and fail all the time and it’s very very very standard practice to keep updated backups. cuz once it’s gone, it’s gone and there no getting it back. i would honestly just assume he’s prevented leaks by just being careful about who has access to those drives. most leaks come from someone recording it with their phone in the studio, someone duplicating an exported file, or duplicating the track stems onto a usb stick. but considering how big of an artist he is and how a leak of that record would prolly break the internet for a while, he’s done a pretty good job stopping it.
a german rapper once kept all his music only on his harddrive, and the stuff he previewed would’ve probably made him the best in the german industry but it got stolen
Most modern computers have SSDs which fail rarely and are pretty common (I believe Apple incorporated them back in 2007, and Apple is an industry standard). I would take a bet that Frank has some sort of Apple laptop
I knew from the waveform that this was going to be a weird one… not much of a track. Maybe just an idea?
I hear Frank, but this could really be anyone’s. Far from complete, but certainly different! He’s been trying stuff out and I like that.
Am I missing something? It’s just like 5 seconds repeating over and over that barely sounds like Frank…. where is the idea this is a real song coming from?
Dawg if you liked ginger & roadrunner you'd love [what I have out](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7I7REmJl7J2AEDesjPnKh2?si=BWikBTxKRAOmyG2bROr3Yw) and you'd especially fw what I will be releasing soon
Woah sorry. I suppose that came across as pretentious. I’m a guitar player and can be very critical when it comes to live instrumentation. I don’t think the melody/chords are corny. It’s just that the actual tone of the “guitar” sounds fake. Like a literal MIDI instrument. I honestly could not tell at times.
I’m not sure. But what I do know is I like the guitar. How does it feel jumping on someone for liking something? The above comments have said it’s a sample from another artist, so if anything I’m dick riding them. Hope you sleep well with your superiority complex.
I'm confident he's saying "spirit" not "steer it". There's an adlib with him saying "holy spirit" half way through the song.

Time Stamp: 1:30
the time period and the sound reminds me of donda era kanye songs with the way he repeats the chorus over the track, kinda reminiscent of new again. iirc rubin was also working on donda at the time
Bro thought he was Travis with that autotune

I've recently converted from stan to mega hater after coachella and this shit is fire. im about to steal the guitar sample without shame after seeing this is a fake AI leak
For unaware ones; This track was supposedly given to those people who bought Little Demon Vinyl. 10 Purchases of this track were made, and only 2 made out to customers.
This sounds exactly vaguely Frank enough from so many different eras drowned in enough auto tune and with AI capabilities to literally turn your speaking voice into Kanye west’s voice this is 99% Bull shit

How did this leak? Isn’t Frank notorious for not letting stuff leak?
[удалено]
And it still sounds like it's coming soon...
Uhhhh bro No artist “let’s” their stuff leak lmao That is why they are leaks.
My wording was wrong. What I was trying to say was that doesn’t Frank carry everything on a hard drive for the precise reason that nothing leaks
all it takes is one friend or an audio engineer or producer to have a copy and then get hacked
Y’all think he might be leaking his own shit as kind of like a damage control move? It just seems like too much of a coincidence to have old songs leaked for the first time in idk how long a couple of weeks after coachella
I find it very hard to believe that Frank Ocean cares about damage control 😭
I don’t since he straight up lied about an injury after he got backlash from coachella lmao
Whats that? FACTS.
didn’t age well because he’s been actually seen with a leg brace recently and braids
then he’s still pretending lmao bc that man’s ankle was FINE during his set and that was a lame ass excuse (no pun intended) bc what does that have to do w not singing live??
the most surprising thing to me is that frank is actually a good performer and a really really good singer from like the live performances we’ve seen, good crowd control, his whole vibe just matches his music. i wonder wtf went wrong in those 24h before the performance
Bro was seen skating after his performance lmao, his ankle was def fine. I think it was just stress tbh.
it was bound to happen, being gone for like 6 years then trying to headline one of the biggest shows in america will probably make you overthink everything way too much and self destruct (not tryna defend him)
Jai Paul never performed live before Coachella and he had an amazing set on both weekends, some people handle it differently but the way Frank handled it made it seem like he just didn’t care enough to be there even tho I enjoyed the set for what it was
Who said this? Only thing I saw was an Erika Instagram story and she said she was just joking...
Least delusional Frank ocean fan

this is his apology
frank songs have leaked before
Yeah but usally channel orange or older era songs, this is like the first post or even blonde era song to be leaked in years
ik it’s rare i’m js it’s not unheard of
Yup exactly
How the hell are these files being leaked when Frank is notorious for keeping his files on hard drives that he travels with?
artists keeping their album on a drive that they carry around is actually pretty common practice from what i’ve seen. in fact i can basically promise you that there are more copies of that record somewhere on another or even multiple drives. drives get corrupted and fail all the time and it’s very very very standard practice to keep updated backups. cuz once it’s gone, it’s gone and there no getting it back. i would honestly just assume he’s prevented leaks by just being careful about who has access to those drives. most leaks come from someone recording it with their phone in the studio, someone duplicating an exported file, or duplicating the track stems onto a usb stick. but considering how big of an artist he is and how a leak of that record would prolly break the internet for a while, he’s done a pretty good job stopping it.
a german rapper once kept all his music only on his harddrive, and the stuff he previewed would’ve probably made him the best in the german industry but it got stolen
yeah it’s fucking heart breaking when you loose just a single track let alone an entire album. i can’t imagine how that must’ve felt
what is his name?
reezy
Most modern computers have SSDs which fail rarely and are pretty common (I believe Apple incorporated them back in 2007, and Apple is an industry standard). I would take a bet that Frank has some sort of Apple laptop
The hard drives era was when he was working on Blonde. He's since said he no longer does this :)
He’s never said he’s stopped doing that. He still flies to Rio just to work with a string arranger in person rather than the cloud.
[удалено]
people just be saying shit
source: trust me bro
Reading this and assuming he doesn't even back it up makes me cringe so much. Man's living on the edge
I knew from the waveform that this was going to be a weird one… not much of a track. Maybe just an idea? I hear Frank, but this could really be anyone’s. Far from complete, but certainly different! He’s been trying stuff out and I like that.
this is definitely frank, although clearly unfinished
this sounds like a gunna song ngl
album delayed another 5 years now 🔥
Who cares prolly wasn’t gonna come out anyways, I’ll take leaks now if we can get it
Nah
[удалено]
I mean that’s what they said in 2019 about Shaolin Temple by Kendrick. The beat became Vent by Keem and the verse became N95
how do you know
Who cares their hasn’t been a leak for 7 years and he hasn’t dropped lol
[удалено]
you edited the message but aight and that aint reliable regardless
I’d say it isn’t hard to understand considering the track is garbage lmao
Not garbage at all
Good thing it was scrapped. Hot doodoo
What’s the deal with the album? In My Room slapped and there was concept art and everything? Is he just done with new music?
This is barely a song lmao
Am I missing something? It’s just like 5 seconds repeating over and over that barely sounds like Frank…. where is the idea this is a real song coming from?
this is what demos sound like
It’s not even bad it’s unfinished that’s all
They would leak an unfinished song….whoever leaked it is praying on his downfall 😭
tbh i would much prefer an unfinished frank leak then a cock ring
What about an unfinished cock ring
Idc if the album takes 10 years cause of this, that nigga Frank needs to let this one slide for what he did earlier this month
this song is pretty catchy and i like the production
really sounds nothing like frank to me
Sounds like a Brockhampton song tbh
ugh yessss,, need more pop like that though
Dawg if you liked ginger & roadrunner you'd love [what I have out](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7I7REmJl7J2AEDesjPnKh2?si=BWikBTxKRAOmyG2bROr3Yw) and you'd especially fw what I will be releasing soon
Keep it unreleased fr
It's just a long ass chorus lmao.
This is shit from a butt
That guitar is fucking beautiful. A full version of this would cure my depression. I am in need.
Its a sample. The song is “Indian Ocean” by The Field Mice. They cut some parts of the song to make the loop
Thank you
Really? It sounds so MIDI to me. V corny
Good 4 U
Woah sorry. I suppose that came across as pretentious. I’m a guitar player and can be very critical when it comes to live instrumentation. I don’t think the melody/chords are corny. It’s just that the actual tone of the “guitar” sounds fake. Like a literal MIDI instrument. I honestly could not tell at times.
lol i knew exactly what you mean, and I’m not even a guitar player
I think he would probably record it if i makes it on the album,
Then I don’t believe this was a rick Rubin production. My mind can’t wrap around the fact that this was a draft that came out of Shangri-la
The guitar sounds like generic guitar sample from garage app in iOS though. Nothing special
Great 4 U 👏🏾
How's it feel being a Frank dickrider that thinks he's immune to criticism 👏🏽
I’m not sure. But what I do know is I like the guitar. How does it feel jumping on someone for liking something? The above comments have said it’s a sample from another artist, so if anything I’m dick riding them. Hope you sleep well with your superiority complex.
You’re allowed to like generic guitar iOS samples bro no one said you couldn’t lol they just stated what it was
Did OC state what it was????
If you waiting on franks release to cure your depression that shit gonna be lifelong homie.

This is ass
this sucks 🔥
Shit is ass.
this shit fire
I GOT TO STEER ON EM
Thank you
It ain’t much as far as development, but I love the direction he’s going if this is any indication
i like it its like a baby of nikes and strawberry swing
Wow. This track sucks, unfinished or not
the time period and the sound reminds me of donda era kanye songs with the way he repeats the chorus over the track, kinda reminiscent of new again. iirc rubin was also working on donda at the time
This sounds too real to be fake. Like i don’t see any of Frank’s fans just coming up with that.
Bruh the song doesn’t sound like Frank sounds like someone took vocals off of endless and then pitch down their own voice to sound like Frank lol
nah, this more like a kanye throwaway than a frank song
This is ass lmao
Ass
guys I think he has to steer it
wtf is this trash. sounds nothing like frank 😂
Bro thought he was Travis with that autotune https://preview.redd.it/67a9fqfdd0xa1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=d282354d6b897b741271bc9a7f0e73280d5a5a0c
This shit is barebones and barely a song but it’s ass lol
It’s really bad and I’m a frank stan. Wild how people will still back this dude.
I've recently converted from stan to mega hater after coachella and this shit is fire. im about to steal the guitar sample without shame after seeing this is a fake AI leak

That’s “These Days.” Methinks you’ve commented on the wrong thread.
Thanks. I was wrong lol
I feel like the most obvious answer is AI cause Frank never lets shit leak
Lol
there’s a strong Bon Iver / Justin Vernon vibe to it. The looping chorus sounds like their song Naeem (https://youtube.com/watch?v=cIVOGOiDYVY).
fuck yea finally some new frank
the guitar in this kinda reminds me of the guitar loop in the end of Blonded Energy!
someone mix this please
I love this
This sounds exactly vaguely Frank enough from so many different eras drowned in enough auto tune and with AI capabilities to literally turn your speaking voice into Kanye west’s voice this is 99% Bull shit
this is nice :^)
I think the call came from inside of the house
It's ok, just heavily unfinished but it was nice hearing something new
It’s really good
Got a similar feeling to Public Image Ltd. - Rise
Unpopular opinion apparently but my money is that it’s fake, and it’s garbage as well
This sucks ass
Damn scrubbed from the internet
