I hate how nobody ever cites Channel Orange after Blonde and Endless came out. RIP
But it’s still a masterpiece
I knew that this one would get brought up. It's the only one and the harmony is not particularly beach boys tbh just the arrangement. I'm a frank fan btw it's just different music
“When I was making the first album there were a group of artists that I listened to, just for inspiration and to absorb the energies.
“It was a lot of Stevie Wonder, and this time it’s a lot of Beach Boys and Beatles and whatnot, so we’ll see how it trickles into the music and the final product. I can’t say much other than that.”
Yea idk where dat title came from
the article said that was what it's being referred to internally, coded title most likely
I’d list Brian Eno as an influence too
Always thought Arthur Russell but I remember hearing somewhere that somebody played an Arthur Russell song for frank and he didn’t like it lol
Frank at the Golf Le Fleur store in Malibu

that’s crazy i thought people weren’t even allowed to take pictures in there. then again it’s frank so who cares lol

What can I do to know you better than I do now, what can I do to love you more than I do now
Been listening to frank all day and realized how much I hate this man for the s*** he pulls on his fans like how can someone be such a d*** and make such good music it’s not fair
