Comes out of the closet
3 years of radio silence
Then he releases an album full of songs with mysterious lyrics about nothing pandering to straight men and women instead of addressing his sexuality
an "lgbt icon"
Ok this is a psychotic post
pause jk lol. had a feeling you liked that one better. i for one rarely revisit blonde, im way more partial to endless but channel orange to me is his most significant work and it’s a toss up between those two for my favorites
it is curious why bro doesn’t really put out music anymore though. i do feel like it’s plausible/easiest to say he just wants to make that jewelry money but he kinda doesn’t seem to do much with homer either. i feel like it’s probably a mixture of potentially a lot of things from depression to the current state of the music industry to him being an addict which i strongly have suspected pretty much since forever. the whole “drop some IG story snippets then post merch on the website just in time for christmas then dip” s*** screamed “im a fiend and need a reup” ngl
why you think bros an addict lmao this is a wild accusation outta nowhere
why you think bros an addict lmao this is a wild accusation outta nowhere
it’s definitely not “outta nowhere” but go off lmfao
Sometimes I listen to this album all the way thru. Not very often but maybe once or twice a year, and everytime I think wow I can’t believe we have this album
it’s definitely not “outta nowhere” but go off lmfao
you still haven’t explained why he’s an addict
Also the wait between channel orange to blonde seem a lot longer than the one now for some reason
I was just thinking the same thing, but it's insane it's almost a decade
the wait after Channel Orange was insane and built so much hype and the fact that he delivered to this level is wild.
Classic album that redefined alt-r&b.
you still haven’t explained why he’s an addict
i never said he was for sure an addict, i said it was a possible explanation that definitely has some evidence behind it even if it ain’t the most concrete. you need to chill
Yes. If any straight artist released an R&B album that had as few references to women as Blonde does men, people would start questioning their sexuality. He was scared of offending straight people and losing their sales so he kept it to a few lines/skits and filled the rest of the album with evocative gibberish to distract them. Money is more important to him than integrity. That's why he's quit music entirely to sell $1 million dollar platinum a*** beads and scam his fans
he’s bi tho lol. i think he purposely leaves the gender of his love interests ambiguous in songs when they aren’t about real relationships because hypothetically he could be dating either sex. he also has songs that are very much gay.
it’s so weird how some of yall act like any queer artist that isn’t stereotypical or making their sexuality the focal point of their art is pandering or queer baiting or self hating lol.

Deal with this hate in your heart, before it deals with you
There hasn't been album that has dropped since this that has been better... right?

the ambiguous writing on Blonde is part of its appeal and why it has connected with so many people

It’s about me to you

bi-erasure
“Futura Free” is so slept on to me. I think it foreshadows a lot while also being reflective in terms of his career approach and accomplishments.
Great album. What a time!
