Listen to Frank Ocean’s New “Blonded Xmas” Radio Show
Dec 25th, 2021
The Christmas special features an excerpt from Ocean’s conversation with motivational speaker and extreme athlete Wim “Iceman” Hof
Frank Ocean has returned with a new installment of Blonded Radio. Today’s Christmas episode is the first edition of the show since Christmas 2019. The program features an excerpt from Ocean’s conversation with Dutch motivational speaker and extreme athlete Wim “Iceman” Hof. Listen to “Blonded Xmas” on Apple Music 1. (Pitchfork earns a commission from purchases made through affiliate links on our site.)
“Me and @iceman_hof had a conversation some time ago when I was in the earlier stages of grief,” Frank Ocean wrote in an Instagram story (viewed by Pitchfork). “I remember marveling at how his energy blasted through the phone. So much vim in this Wim.” He continued:
We spoke for a while about his work, the purpose of grief, and how going into the cold water changed his life. It reminded me of conversations in the studio with players I know. Freewheeling, psychedelic, emotionally charged, intelligent, and generous. I enjoyed listening to him, so in this edit I just let him speak uninterrupted. Me, @coryhenry, and @dylanpatricewiggins, played some sounds underneath to heighten the feeling. I added some writing at the end that I did a single take of w Cory in the summer of 2020. I came back and added a few words and parts over the top of that take more recently. Felt like it fit the wabi sabi of Wim’s words. Merry Xmas everyone.
Frank Ocean’s brother Ryan Moore (who was also known as Ryan Breaux) was killed in a car crash in August 2020. The artist has been relatively quiet since losing his brother.
This year, Ocean launched a luxury jewelry and accessories line called Homer. He worked on the project for over three years, and opened a brick and mortar location for the brand in Manhattan this past summer. Ocean is slated to headline Coachella 2023.
Last month, Ocean made a rare public statement in remembrance of the late Virgil Abloh, who died of cancer in late November.Read “A Visit to Homer, Frank Ocean’s New York Luxury Store” over on the Pitch.

Breaux, who appeared on the Blonde song “Futura Free,” was killed in a car accident
Ryan Moore, the brother of Frank Ocean, has died, the Thousand Oaks Acorn reports and Pitchfork can confirm. Moore, who was also known as Ryan Breaux, was killed in a car crash early Sunday morning (August 2) in Thousand Oaks, California. The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office identified Ryan Moore as one of the victims in the crash. He was 18 years old. Find a photo of Ryan and his mother Katonya Breaux below.
In 2016, Frank Ocean released Blonde—his second album that weekend after Endless. It ended with the song “Futura Free,” which features an interview with Ryan Moore. The weekend the album was released, Moore reacted to his feature in real time on Twitter. “MY INTERVIEW IS ON THE ALBUM,” he tweeted. “I WAS LIKE 11 MY VOICE WAS SO HIGH.”
The interview with Ryan Moore from “Futura Free” was transcribed and published in the Boys Don’t Cry magazine released alongside the album. When asked with whom he would like to switch bodies for 24 hours, he responded, “Probably my brother, just to see how much work he has in one day, just to be in the life of him.” The final question is, “What would you do on your last day on Earth?” Moore replied:
Everything that was on my bucket list, like I don’t know, there would just be a lot of things I’ll do, probably spend a lot of time with my family and tell the I’m going away and probably... I don’t know. There’s a lot of things you could do.

*PLEASE TRY TO SEQUENCE AND OMIT SONGS AS NECESSARY” “At your Best“ Rick to follow up with Jonny Greenwood about string arrangements Rick to have some background singers or a sample to the bridge
“Ivy” Missing the audio (Scream) to be sent from London from Frank Vocoder only in “o thought that i was dreaming” section? feel free to arrange vocoder
“Pretty Sweet” Good raw sound in Vs1 (very angular punk rock sound) Pick out which final line to use for V1 “kill me” vs “fuck me” Make guitar in first part sound different or possibly replace
“Pink and White” Record real strings from mockup intro Make sound overall less bright and synthetic
“Solo” Waiting for 3000 Vs Open to new samples / elements throughout Try other BGVs to add layers to second Cs “Skyline II” Percussion or something harsh with less decay layered in w/kick in middle section (or less decay on the kick itself), Find good texture (analog / sp1200) for first drum loop
“Carreras” Guitar is loopy and gets boring (maybe more single note melodic bits to break it up or other instruments/samples) Check out the fugazi loop in outro (may find a better element to put in its place).
“Nikes” Ride low vocal or mute in places where its trampling on the high vocal Try using the actual audio files not voice memo files for the first half of the song, Take Kohh off the end of the song (feels too long) Start a fast fade on the “you can hangover” line so that by the time the ‘oohs’ come in they’re really quiet almost not there. A couple sections in the outro feel thin Look for samples (maybe in outro) / harmonic elements (Frank will send samples from London)
“Mona Lisa” Make as raw and warm as possible/feel-good Ask Kate to try some things (topic is coveting things)
“White Ferrari” More elements or a hook in the body of the song? Someone else to write it? Please help There are 2 versions OG POP “White Ferrari” Make the “whale sounds” sound less like a whale Frank sending intro and outro vocals Try background singers on the Ooooh’s
“California” First half needs music, looking for something lush, Jason to check out intro bass? Outro could be helped also
“Siegfried” Ask Ommas to tune lead vocal? (if necessary)
“Godspeed”
Make lead vocal less bright and aggressive James has alternate outro w/choir that we need multitrack
“Futura Free” Reference mix of “Anthrax” by Gang of Four (“i like the buried vocal sound but would like it to cut through”) On the “Yemen to the Rhythm” section bring down pitched low vocal Unsure about piano in the second half Use the effect from the Eventide plugin (“Mona Lisa” lyric) put on the names of Jay , Yeezy, Drake, Weezy (its a blur out effect, setting called “Rap Bass Hype)Sep 3 2022 | Rosalia posts a picture of her and Frank at a studio on her ig account @holamotomami

reddit.com/r/FrankOcean/comments/zkf9h6/a_famous_screenwriter_came_to_my_class_and_just
So I’m a graduate student at a film school in LA and earlier this week in one of my classes my professor brought in Eric Roth to talk to us (Academy Award winning writer of Forrest Gump, Munich, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Dune, Killers of the Flower Moon).
He was giving us the rundown of his personal history of how he got started as a writer and was naming people from back in his time that not a lot of us knew. So he decided to give us a name of someone we’d know and this is what he said:
“Here’s a name you guys probably know, Frank Ocean. He called me up recently and told me he has a visual album that he wants to do. I gave him a deadline by Christmas to get me the concept and he already turned it in last week. He’s a very smart and creative guy.”My friends and myself in the class were instantly shocked and looked at each other that this dude just dropped a huge Frank leak like it was nothing. I know I don’t have any proof with me at the moment to back it up, though one of my friends did snag a pic of Mr. Roth in our classroom. I’ll just say this, if Frank reveals something within the next year or so (maybe Coachella?) and it’s a visual album with Eric Roth attached to it, then you heard it here first.

In the summer of 2019, blonded produced a photo series shot on Thursday, August 8, 2019 by photographer Michael Marcelle. The photo series follows the story of a fictitious Recording Artist as he navigates the radio system. In one scene the actor Jeremy Strong plays a chairman of a major record label. On the walls: a clock, two framed records. The Chairman is falnked by another figure. Both are dressed in suits, wearing ties, and are positioned behind a long boardroom table. They are opposite a shadowed figure in the foreground - the Recording Artist - whose subjectivity the viewer is to inhabit. The Recording Artist attempts to explain to the major music label the singles distribution model as opposed to the long form album model. The Recording Artist beleives the latter to be outdated, and that releasing singles is more suited to modern consumption habits where people curate their own playlists which are then shared within private circles. The meeting does not appear to be productive. The photo series coincided with the planning of three blonded live radio events that year. They were held on thursday nights towards the end of 2019, in the basment of The Knockdown Center in Queens, New York. On October 19th, 24th and the 31st, 2019, doors opened at 10PM. A custom nightclub with vintage lighting fixtures was installed for the duration of each party. On the first night, Bouffant Bouffant played at 10:15PM, followed by Justice at midnight, Sango at 1:15AM and DJ Heather at 2:30 AM. Leeon, Arca, Papi Juice, Shyboi, Joey Labeija, Last Japan, and DJ Heather played sets on subsequent nights. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these events were intended to grow from small club evenets to larger raves across the world. The Recording Artists has since changed his mind about the singles model, and is again interested in more durational bodies of work.
