Seven years have passed since Frank Ocean dropped Blonde, an album that solidified
his status as one of greatest icons in twenty-first century music. Since then, his fans have been
patiently waiting for his third album. Frank’s music to date, the R&B of Nostalgia, has been
impossible to pin down; the throughline of him being the genius of his production and the
candour to his lyrics.

“Is Frank Ocean in the studio?” In short: yes. This gathered information because Rosalía
was interviewed in her spring 2022 cover feature. They have been revealed together in the
studio, where he gave her a line of advice, which she then put into her Motomani single.
Frank Ocean, the perfectionist himself, is surely going into overdrive the longer we wait.
An interview in which Frank worked with “DHL” stated, “that he feels frozen under the
expectations people have put on him to follow up Blonde with a 10/10 classic. Like, he can’t
bear the idea of putting something out and people going, ‘Huh, kinda mid’, and he’s paralyzed
by that.”
A writer interviewed John, who worked with Frank Ocean, and asked if he knew anything
about Frank. John responded that, when it comes to his work, with Frank, he’s willingly
“a perfectionist,” adding: “I think what makes him so compelling is his volatility, and there’s a flip
side to that, which is sometimes in executing deadlines, or trying to make a follow-up, or
meeting expectations, there can be a volatility.” As to this, everything adds up since his fine-
tuning comes into a whole body of work.
Through a recent update about the Blonded Radio, Frank conversed with an expert on
microdosing over a euphoric, instrumental production that he’s responsible for.
On November 7th at 4 pm, he posted a picture of himself singing on Instagram, still
hinting at a memory despite his lack of consistency as an artist. Not only that, he has finally
been posting consistently on social media, specifically Instagram. This has caused fans to give
up hope because it shows that he has potential but hasn’t put in the necessary effort towards
his art (posting pictures or videos of himself in the studio or anything artist-related).
