I had Spotify and then went with Apple. What is it about Spotify that you guys like more?
And is it Blond or Blonde?
Apple Music says "Blonde"... I'm not sure?
I like Spotify's user interface better. The only advantage Apple would have for me is Taylor Swift and this week or two of Frank Ocean before it expands.

I haven't heard Frank's album, but to weigh in on the Spotify vs. Apple discussion, there are talks Apple will aquire TIDAL in the near future. I prefer Spotify now, but would switch to Apple for those combined exclusives.

Probably won't include licensing rights, or Prince's music is what I have read. Apple bought Layla several years ago, just to shut it down. Assholes. I hated them for that. Of course that did not stop me from paying every month for Apple. Gotta have my music, one way or another.
This album thoroughly met all of my high expectations. I feared that worst case scenario, Frank had some sort of creative spark with Channel Orange that might have gone away in these last years, and maybe that's why it was taking so long. But nope Frank still got it! There's nothing too left field on this album either. It pretty much has the same feel as Channel Orange which definitly isn't a bad thing.
I would hardly consider those features to be actual features. I think I heard Kendrick say "hot" and "smoke". Beyoncé sang background vocals for a very short period of time. I see why they didn't say who it features in the actual track listing
WOW!!!!! Nikes is good, and I'm not a fan of Ivy. But Pink n White piano keys kick in, and this album TAKES OFF!!!!! I cant get enough of Pink n White, Self Control, Skyline, and Solo. Welcome Back, Frank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love both albums, but I think I'm leaning more towards Endless. My only gripe on both is I'm missing the drums. Drums are only on half the tracks. But small gripe. I'd currently give Endless 9/10 and Blond 8.5/10
We just got basically two hours of new Frank this weekend. Holy shit haha I'm very very satisfied
This is a pretty big step in some direction from Channel Orange. Nothing remotely as accessible on this album, in my opinion, as any of the catchier tracks from CO.
First time I listened to this, I wasn't about it. Going through it again late at night and really just kinda zoning out into it is a whole different beast. I think Frank takes a lot of backseat to everything else going on, whereas in Channel he was front and center for a majority of the album. Not a huge lyrics person the first few times through, so I don't understand any of the thematic undertones at all.
A lot of people will be disappointed with this one, I think. I can't see myself really just throwing a couple tracks on a playlist.
I've listened casually about four time through now, and I don't really have a solid opinion on the album. Sometimes I find my mind easily wandering from it, but whenever I focus on listening to it, I like it. Channel Orange was similar in that regard. I feel like there's a lot on here that needs to be processed and digested to appreciate it fully. Just knowing Frank's penchant for artistry makes me thing that there are things working on multiple levels here.
Right now I think my favorite two tracks are Solo and Solo (Reprise).

I think I already like Blonde more than Channel Orange. Its a little more inaccessable but I think altogether his lyrical work is just better. Wondering how it will translate live...
