    is there any word of a regular non-acoustic, non-remixed cayendo?

    I thought the acoustic WAS the regular

    is there any word of a regular non-acoustic, non-remixed cayendo?

    it’s just the acoustic version (the OG) and the sango remix

    i agree with it being kind of lame if frank only plays his released stuff, but blonde is 100 percent going to be at the level of recognition that an album like "thriller" has, decades from now

    Whew, this is delusional ngl

    I thought the acoustic WAS the regular

    I was always in the belief that there is a TRUE CDQ, studio produced original version of both Cayendo and Dear April

    And then there’s acoustic versions + remixes

    If you listen to the vocals on the remixes, they’re not taken from the acoustics

    so my theory was there is a 3rd version, an actual produced frank ocean album version of those songs. And Sango/Justice used the acapellas from that mystery version

    Sounds legit

    does anyone here know how frank managed to print hundreds if not thousands of copies of BDC with the blonde CD in them and have pretty much nothing leak until it actually dropped
    like beyond NDAs how do you print 1000+ copies of a 300pg magazine with a hotly anticipated album inside, set up shops to give them away and there be literally zero word of it

    made even weirder by those gif leaks of magazine photos a few weeks before it actually dropped

    like fr franks team is as tight as the white house planning a presidential trip to iraq or smth. i just wanna know how literally nothing has ever leaked over these years when probably every other major artist has had something leak

    AND it was delayed 2 weeks

    Maybe that had something to do with it not being leaked though, maybe they weren’t even ready to be distributed

    Would explain why the Blonde CD is different compared to digital version too

  • Jan 22, 2023

    I seem to remember reading that Frank only keeps his stuff on hard-drives, he never used cloud storage

    Wasn’t there an interview where he says this?

    Edit: he said it in his nyt article years ago

    the remixes are the acapellas of the acoustic versions chopped up a bit

    he just sent them the acapellas and they produced around it

    amazing. totally missing the point of my post and jumping at a chance to be obnoxious

    i’m curious what happened to those physical copies he had. i’m sure they’ll be worth a lot one day. maybe there’s some cool info in there about what blonde was supposed to be (tracklisting, cover art, etc.) since they were printed and ready to go in april ‘15.
    i obviously know that projects have “drafts”. do you think i skipped 2nd grade writing workshop?

    you and i both know they’re under franks bed or some s*** lol there was probably nothing even different about them considering the tracklist for blonde on bdc is different in the current version too. just an early draft that he posted, that’s all.

    nah idt enough were printed to justify a release. this guy has vaulted countless videos and projects there’s no way he’s dropping a skeleton version of a magazine that’s heavily acclaimed.

    Would be more like a thing that gets sold by a friend of Frank in 30 years (if Frank is still beloved like that) and goes for a few thousand.
