Why Frank Ocean won't release more music 

It makes total sense. Blonde was a work of staggering genius. If your one is good enough, you only need one. He's a legend in my mind for that album alone.

He set the bar so high with Blonde album that i aint suprised he dont wanna make another album

I think Frank Ocean is the only person that can make a song that makes you cry your whole heart and soul and then on another listen make you feel joyous and happy.

I heard Frank live years ago and I could tell how much his music means to him. Regardless what Frank does I just wish him the best, he is an artist that will always have my respect and I will support whatever venture he chooses!

Was there in the front at Coachella. Haven’t heard a singer sound so raw, so inspiring, and so emotional in a long time, not like that. This man takes his time with his art and it shows. Blonde and Channel Orange are era-defining masterpieces. Time will tell the tale of a man dedicated to his craft who defied all the odds and naysayers. Mark my words.

frank is so mysterious but i love it so much.. he makes amazing songs and i hope one day he drops another album for us! his voice is just so unique and so amazing and his lyrics are phenomenal.

I love Frank Ocean's music. His music has been part of the soundtrack of my life through all my milestones. And I felt robbed at his Coachella set. It's still quite fresh in my mind and it's honestly commendable how well his PR team has suppressed how bad the set went. I'm still pretty mad how the festival was topped off after 3 incredible days. And his music was still stuck in my head all night because of my anticipation. Can't help but get it stuck in my head every now and then and I feel that's a testament to his great songwriting/production.

Great range of music here. Miles Davis, Brian Wilson, Billy Joel, The Beatles, Steely Dan.. Just watched Pink Floyd and now Frank Ocean. Good stuff! Excellent bio reviews of some legends. Great presentation and analysis ❤️

I listen to his music like it just came out

fell for the title. I got so bummed when I realized that, instead of making a bold statement, this video ended up being yet another wikipedia article synopsis

People who appreciate Frank Ocean's music should crave for more music. He must not fear failure and we must not fear a dead end. Respecting his decision always. Still want new music tho please

Frank is one of a kind. He's given us so much and has every right to take a step back if that's where he's at.

I used to listen to Channel Orange on loop all day everyday. It’s almost as if it was meant to be heard that way. What I find extremely annoying from the average music consumer is when they whine over why a certain artist takes so long to release new music. Kendrick, the Pulitzer Prize winner, is another good example. And when they don’t hear anything for a mere two years or so, they’ll say “oh, he/she fell off.” They don’t understand that greatness takes TIME. If you’re a true fan, you’ll wait however long it will take. If not, then go ahead and listen to those mainstream artists who put out albums twice a year. Albums filled with low-quality that you might dig for a few days and then you’re over it. Great music should be timeless and should be able to be enjoyed EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU HEAR IT.

This is a great video! Thank you David!

Didn’t he also suffer a loss a couple years ago. I can’t imagine just how hard it’d be to find motivation.

this beautifully explains frank ocean. also love the use of moon river, i think that song is super underrated.

I love this perspective. Thank you so much for sharing 🩶

I miss Frank Oceans music. Its one of my inspirations. "Blonde" its one of my favourite discs. With Nikes im literally in the space and Skyline to its beautiful, it reminds me some good things that I have lived in summer. I hope that I could enjoy more art from him. I think that frank its not the typical artist that likes being famous or in the spotlight or maybe its just something that its very difficult to cope with and thats why he doesnt show so much. If im trying to imagine what its like to be famous and everybody wanting selfies and screaming on me or following me... Puf, Its seems a nighmare to me, I enjoy my privacy. He was like a boom and I think maybe it was too much. Anyway, thank you for sharing the video. It was cool! Have a good day! Lots love!

He’s in the process of making music rn! Which I’m excited to hear, he’s in Amsterdam and was spotted in the studio

Beautifully made, keep making videos!

I remember in 2019 he release a couple singles that undoubtedly were from a new album, and same thing in beginning of 2020.. then nothing... been waiting ever since, and no trace of it..

Yo! Frank Ocean can take the time he wants. I'm in no rush. I'm already sold. I'm not going everywhere. When you're ready, as long as I'm alive, I'll be there listening.

Nostalgia, Ultra was a skipless album. I get so agitated when people say they’ve never listened or heard of it. It’s my favorite of his work.

Such an amazing video. Very impressed

Good looks bro! 💥🎹💻🎧

this video wants to make me appreciate Frank Ocean even more

This video can be summed up as Frank Ocean prefers QUALITY over quantity when it comes to his work and that is an amazing thing for an artist to do.

great video, was hoping you'd talk about endless 😢

I have a feeling we aren’t gonna ever gonna get any more Frank music, this is his legacy and maybe well get more music abt his brother just to end it with a three album but I think this is the end of Frank ocean as we know

Very well made video my man.

Wow this was a really good video. Thanks for sharing

Frank ocean’s an artist. He gives people a lyrical visionary perspective of his own losses as he proceeds to become what people often use as a muse for there losses and isolates himself to the degree of what others feel like they’ve lost. Art is forever but the person who created it isn’t always, even if that means inaccessible while still living. For some people they find the will to live through an artist’s advice, even if it’s in a melodized memory but sometimes for the artist there will comes from the opportunity that there pain through music has gifted them.

Great vid mate, I’m new here but and I’ve watched a ton of videos like this but this one is special tho. Keep it up!

He's reached god level after setting TWO cultural milestones with his 2 albums. Tbh I wouldn't ask him for more if he doesn't want to.

very interesting, i really loved this video what a great job. He's ones of my favorite artists, but how did he became popular ?

I wouldn't be mad if he didn't release a new album, but I would so love to be able to see him perfom

This is great man

Thank you!

i believe music is first and foremost a form of storytelling. frank knows best in how to present those stories in a unique and mystical way to us and im grateful for it. 🙂

he jus dropped a snippet !!!!!

he will drop again. just on his own time. Whether that be 5 or 10 more years the day it comes out ill be one of the first to listen to the entire thing with no distractions

Chosing to be mysterious and scarce is a genius move, making his art more valuable l, legendary and unforgettable

Why Frank Ocean won't release more music? Let me spend the majority of the video reading Frank's wiki bio. It might sound professional but it's a cop out, this was a 1 minute video stretched to 8.

he confirmed in coachella another albums on the way

I am just sayin on the coachella festival he said that there is a new album. Not right now but there is one. And I mean we already waited 7 years, so at this point at least I can wait another 2 years or 3.

SO UNDERRATED

channel orange changed my life, i still listen to it at least weekly. i had a weird feeling after blond that he wasn’t gonna release anything again, at least for a while, i dunno why?? it felt like he knew what he had done and could feel that he felt he had to be that sure again before releasing anything else. he’s just a genius

Me enamoré del trabajo de ocean por su forma de captar la atención acompañado con su exquisito rango vocal 🍷

Bro what’s the song playing in the background in the beginning of this video???

AND YET YOU WERE WROONNGG WHOOOOOO

I literally work where franks staying right now. I’ve already seen the paperwork, he’s dropping soon. Been recording since January

I’d say art is to evoke someones interpretation of the emotion in the piece. Entertainment I'd say is a presentation of a story leaving little for interpretation

i’m so glad i decided to watch this video

tbh, i wish more people had longer breaks between albums instead of just 2 yrs which is pretty common. maybe not as long, but im not a huge fan of frank ocean so idk. people just pump out albums not letting u take in the previous era of their work. and they are already moving on to the next one. like i loved planet her from doja cat and i love her her album, but i think 1 more year for scarlet would have been better.

Dude, I love Frank Ocean's music but really think he tends to be over romanticized

Before the 2000s, music was less commercialized and operated as art that you had to “meet with.” A lot of bigger artists in the 90s, for example, had very few albums. Lauryn Hill, D’Angelou and Maxwell come to mind. And we mustn’t leave out us witnessing the rare metamorphosis of Beyoncé going from a pop hitmaker to a more genuine artist, changing with every album.

Frank Ocean reminds me a lot of D'Angelo, because they're both extremely talented but only put out a few projects. I'm glad I can appreciate the music that they both gave us.

Do 1 full final album with H.E.R & PJ Morton🙏

highly underated

he is a musical genius and artistic legend now matter what he does

i was watching his set at coachella and he said there is an album coming but didnt say when.

As a Carti fan, I always complain and am devastated at how bro has taken almost 3 years to drop a new album. Recently got into Frank Ocean and nah yall die hard fans got it worse. Im genuinely sorry (Im becoming one too)

Well said

Hey where can I get that Ted Gioia soundbite without frank behind it?

Right on! Frank Ocean has to be one of the most exciting musicians around today!

who’s gonna tell him

As an artist who has the same goals and meaning as Frank, making music in the form of art and really have the listener envision the song itself is difficult. You become so immersed into what you’re writing that you go back, add things, remove things, then get to the point where you think you shouldn’t release it because you know that you could make something artistically better than that. Aside from that, drop some shit Frank 😭

What’s the song in the background

A legend

Shit I feel like I'm failing as Frank Fan what is Sample is playing at the beginning of the video

what song is playing at the start of the video?

He will

What's the intro song?

Those of you that love blonde - I would bet you would also love Calico by Ryan Beatty.

he said he was going to have you not seen the other 50 + videos that are the exact same as yours ?

Should’ve gave Endless way more credit bruh. Only mentioned it 1 time in a whole video while it’s an absolute otherworldly experience.

‘Pyramids,’ which I think is Frank’s magnum opus, alone is why I think he’s one of the greatest artists that has ever lived. It’s so sonically sound while also transcending genres. Frank’s discography may be short and he may never release music again, but his discography is evergreen and his commitment to quality control is why his discography is impeccable and evocative.

6:38 uhh no that’s not the word I was thinking ?

He has 4 albums. Nostalgia ultra, Channel orange, endless, and blonde.

alright yeah, but didnt he say he had a new album?

i know when he will release a new album. we'll let you guys phropesy

Blonde and Chanel Orange was crazy

Please What’s the last song at the end of the video?

What are those visuals from at 1:41 - 1:46 ??

He can make more music, I believe in him.

Ppl forget about white. I love the lyrics of that song 😭😭

“What’s up guys good evening and sh**”😂😂😂

he will drop

Channel Orange Classic, blonde classic, nostalgia ultra great the Lonny breaux one great

00:01 to 00:50 what's the song in the background?

Nigga please, I hope he sees this and puts out another one next month.

What song is in background at 4:20

Does anyone know, what is the son playing at the beginnig?

Look At Us, We're In Love. Y'all forgot that name or what?

Didn’t they release blonde in a way to like escape from his horrible def jam contract? Maybe he dosnt want to release music anymore but he’s still making it? Maybe he just like dosnt consider being a “musician” as a integral part of his identity? Maybe he’s just frank ocean and he dosnt want to be the musical genius anymore? Maybe it wasn’t as full filling making it as it is to listen to it? And as someone who paints and makes art it’s a very lonely process, and I’ve regulated it, to times I need alone but I’d rather spend more time with the people that matter. Maybe that’s where frank ocean is too
