Frank Ocean debuts new music on Christmas Blonded Radio episode
On Christmas Day, Frank Ocean delivered a new episode of his Blonded Radio show on Apple Music 1, and debuted a new song that's nearly nine minutes.
The new episode of Frank Ocean's radio show saw the musician and Homer jewellery company founder in conversation with Dutch motivational speaker Wim "Iceman" Hof, and as well as hosting a guest, Frank Ocean played a lenngthy piece of new music.
On Instagram, Frank Ocean wrote of his conversation with Iceman, "Me and Iceman had a conversation some time ago when I was in the earlier stages of grief and I remember marveling afterwards at how his energy blasted through the phone. So much vim in this Wim. 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, Cory Henry, and Dylan Patrice Wiggins, played some sounds underneath to heighten the feeling," Frank Ocean continued. "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."
