Only 4 years, 1 month and 10 days later (or 1502 days if you want to get specific) Frank Ocean re-emerges from his veil of mystery. Blonde is finally here, at last! It took long enough and we were beginning to think the new album was a myth. The wait has been tough, it has been long, it has been emotional, but isn’t the journey better than the destination? Frankly (pun intended) its was becoming hard to stay optimistic, but it is out, it is great (in our opinion), and it was as if there was never a wait at all. So thank you Frank. To pay homage to the elusive artist and his highly anticipated album we thought here at Ten Towers we’d put you together a little Bank Holiday playlist including some old, some new and even a few of Frank Ocean’s own favourite songs. We have stalked him long enough to know. You’re welcome. You deserve it.
1. Gil Scott-Heron, ‘Your Daddy Loves You’
2. Frank Ocean, ‘Ivy’
3. D’Angelo, ‘One Mo’gin’
4. Frank Ocean, ‘Thinkin’ Bout You’
5. James Blake, ‘I Never Learnt To Share’
