Frank Ocean’s Album ‘Blonde’ Has Been Reinterpreted As A Piano Masterpiece
So pretty you'll shed a tear.
Instead of taking it easy after the release of his album Blonde last year, Frank Ocean has been on a new music spree. He’s released three new singles (‘Lens’, Chanel’, and ‘Biking’), featured on the Calvin Harris new banger ‘Slide’, and collaborated with Young Thug for a new edit of his old track ‘Slide On Me’.
Now there’s another Ocean project to add to the pile, only this one hasn’t been released by the man himself. In fact, we have no idea who is responsible for it. A playlist titled Piano Tribute To Frank Ocean has appeared on Apple Music and Spotify, attributed to an artist only known as ‘Blond Piano’.
The playlist is a cover album, remaking Blonde as purely piano music. 15 of the 17 album tracks are included, with ‘Be Yourself’ and ‘Facebook Story’ both left off (fair call, it would be hard to include spoken word interludes on an instrumental album).
The cover album has been online since March 19, but only started doing the rounds yesterday.
Whoever is responsible, they’ve done an incredible job — listen below.
