CLB PRADAdon’t believe he already began showing executives though, you get a bag if you drop before coachella and his performance is 2 years away and it definitely does not fit in with frank bowing down to the higher ups
also I wouldn't look at it as him bowing down I would look @ this as him bending them to make them work for him. At the end of the day if nothing comes from this then he can just go home and release it independently.
almost ironic/poetic his return to dealing with industry industry people is for them to cater to him and not vice versa
Sep 15, 2021i want more than one music video this album

a version of this article dropped back in 2016 and said blonde was coming June/july iirc
frank then delayed it to august cause they "leaked" the date. Basically Frank wants to be the one in control of how and when he puts out his deliverables. HDD reporting this early might make him push it back like he did in 2016
oh yea I remember this

HDD incredibly accurate but I can’t see any possible way this drops before Coachella next year
0 reason for him to delay his Coachella performance by a year and then drop in the perfect timeframe for a 2022 performance

he signed a publishing deal with warner chappell which isn’t the same as a distribution deal, a pub deal honestly doesn’t even necessarily mean there’s new music coming. basically you give up a share of your publishing earnings (ownership based on writing a song) in exchange for a big bag which u eventually recoup over x amount of years
doesn’t mean music isn’t coming. but while a distrib deal wouldve meant new music was imminent, a pub deal could even just be a cashout for preexisting music

same
it’s Coachella there’ll be fire artists regardless and if Frank ends up changing his mind that’s a huge bonus too - Sep 15, 2021·1 replyinnuendo

Physicals, radio deals, playlist deals, sample clearance, marketing budget, etc
Even with blond he had Apple backing him on a lot of this stuff

was going to reply in the other thread but you said something about frank realizing being independent at his size is actually a s*** ton of work which probably influenced his decision to potentially sign this deal
