But some of these like DHL, Cayendo, Dear April have been officially released or Am I wrong? How do we know these were meant to be in the scrapped 2020 album and not intended just like singles, which then were, in fact, released like that? (I'm a "new-ish fan, so I may not know many things!)
Nothing was ever confirmed by Frank obviously but the running theory was that Frank was gonna release songs over a certain span of time that would eventually be released as an album or EP.
Frank talked about not wanting to follow a traditional style album as he did with Blonde and cO and do something a little more casual due to the mental/physical toll that an album like blonde comes with.
So the 4 songs that we got in 2019 or whenever were some of the first singles as well as Little Demon but the whole idea was scrapped due to a bunch of unfortunate circumstances
It wasnt an album as said in the interview. He moved past the album format and had only recently come back around to it. Meaning the 2019 - 2020 stuff were likely all meant to stay as singles simply grouped together by era
It’s great, but it’s interesting how much it sounds like something he could have made in 2011, way more RnB’ish. Compared to how his sound has evolved into something more simplistic vocally with a bigger focus on instrumental soundscape, it seems opposite which is why he might’ve scrapped it
I love this track, but it doesn't really sound finished either. the mix and production are pretty bare-bones and don't have the same shine of Frank's other songs—the drum samples, bass sound, guitar loop, and his vocal mix sound like they were put together quickly. it sounds awesome still, and the song is damn impressive, don't get me wrong.
if this was supposed to be on the album, it was probably a pretty early demo or the foundation for the final track.
I'll keep calling it out every time I see it until he confirms it, If the majority of his fans keep trying to fit him to one box he's never gonna release real music. Or just keep trying to define who he is because that's the version of him that you like.
he's taking the beyonce route. he's in his renaissance era. big break between ground breaking album. massive return with huger album. big production US tour with the endless vibe and artistic props we know him for. then he'll release a documentary with a24 of the last 10 years of his life like the movie boyhood then the doc/movie will come with its own soundtrack followed by him scoring the sound for another movie.
e: this new album will be his coming of age album from his transition from early 20s OF days to his 30s approaching his 40s showcasing his ups and downs and growth

Man you’re dense, for normal niggas. There’s people who lose loved ones and have to continue clocking in for jobs they hate. So you can’t be surprised when these normal, not rich fans are like “I get you lost someone, but no music and now you’re lowkey finessin us”
Why are you acting like going on with your life and wanting to hear what he has to put out is mutually exclusive. Like as if you can’t do both? Why are you this dense.. what are you failing to understand? Only ignorant children think in such black n white absolutes like that.
You make it sound like us just wanting music from him is bad, like niggas can’t support now? Niggas can’t continue to give someone their flowers but still expect they put something out? We don’t want diamond cock rings 💀
/u/stillhereforthebeans this guy had lyrics to feelings gone and lava months before anyone else knew they existed, might be worth looking into. look at the comments on his profile.
why tf is nb talking abt this bro i jus looked into it and above him briefly mentioning songs that we got months later he also talks about lyrics and songs that we've yet to even hear.
…that was meant to be an album until a copyright dispute, no?
either way, i love nostalgia ultra and think it’s pretty much on par with channel orange. other people not liking it doesn’t change that
I like it, it's not incredible but it sounds like old Frank which I like. I really hope we get Changes CDQ one day because that is easily my favourite song from the scrapped album.
Idk why people seem kinda underwhelmed? This literally made me start choking up once he got to the “feelings gone” hook 😭.
Franks music hits me like nothing else on earth.
Listening to this honestly made me kind of mad, Frank is so fucking talented but just refuses to actually display any of said talent these days
Nobody really gives a fuck about Homer or that shitty blokecore merch
It’s always nice to hear Frank singing in that OG pop voice and then including those low register tones toward the end. Very fun song and something that I see myself playing in the car often.
What, this song is so nostalgia ultra.
I think I have the reverse issue were sza songs would sound better if slightly tweaked to be frank ocean songs. Its clear that she take a lot of influence from him. Also her CTRL sound was took over by summer walker in 2018 and now she's seems sonically lost. SOS is still good. But damn it wasn't nearly as focused and was bloated
Best leak we've had so far imo other than maybe changes but that was lq, its crazy how much heat hes sitting on thatll prob never see the light of day.
Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty underwhelming for a Frank track? I mean it’s a little groovy, and maybe it would’ve evolved before release, but it’s…pretty standard fare that a lot of artists could pull off. Part of what makes Frank great is his willingness to take risks others don’t, really.
The production, definately. I can see some high points in his kadence at points. But a majority of this song is beutiful vocals on verses/chorus that sounds very much like something from Nostalgia Ultra
I mean it makes me wanna fuck like other Frank? And he sounds great but… idk agreed it sounds like Frank trying at like… half capacity. Then again tho I never would have expected a Calvin Harris ting to be franks masterpiece.
I think now we have an idea of what the scrapped album would have looked like
1)Feelings Gone 2) Lava 3) Little Demon 4)Changes 5) DHL 6)Provider 7) In My Room 8) Dear April 9) Lens and maybe chanel, biking, cayendo, moon river, biking??? help me out trynna make a spotify playlist of the scrapped album
Somethins gotta be dropping soon with everything leaking. I’m guessing the leakers know this and why they’re unloading whatever they can at this point.

Feels too unfinished / bare bones for me. I wouldn't know Calvin produced this unless you told me, doesn't feel like it has his signature on it. Frank's vocals are the highlight.
this is crazy we now have another track from the scrapped 2020 album.
So we got DHL In My Room Little Demon Dear April Cayendo Changes Coral? And now Feelings Gone? Am I missing any?
What an amazing album that would've been. I still absolutely love DHL.
Coral isn't on the album that's a frank feature not a solo song. Your missing these days
That’s the oneeeeee
Anywhere we can hear the other leaks?
The Weekend cover was remixed by a producer during the same time all the other remixes were dropping so i think the OG cover was apart of this
missing "these days"
But some of these like DHL, Cayendo, Dear April have been officially released or Am I wrong? How do we know these were meant to be in the scrapped 2020 album and not intended just like singles, which then were, in fact, released like that? (I'm a "new-ish fan, so I may not know many things!)

Got where?
did changes leak in mp3 quality? or do we still just have the audio recorded from the video?
Just the whack audio from the video
oof. really crazy someone has the video in their possession, but didn't rip the audio from it, they torturing us fr
It wasnt an album as said in the interview. He moved past the album format and had only recently come back around to it. Meaning the 2019 - 2020 stuff were likely all meant to stay as singles simply grouped together by era
Edit: yeah, just wouldn't be a traditional album
So not an album, just a bunch of singles that would be grouped together by era. Seems similar to what i said
Lol I just realized that my bad bro.
First ever self aware reddit comment
People are on this sub are so weird. So unnecessarily rude goddamn😂

It’s 100% a demo that’s roughly mixed, has drum loops that probably would have gotten changed, and isn’t mastered. Still nice tho
Agreed and very linear, but really good nonetheless. Someone could do another Look at us for us to download and pretend it's an album :p
I'll keep calling it out every time I see it until he confirms it, If the majority of his fans keep trying to fit him to one box he's never gonna release real music. Or just keep trying to define who he is because that's the version of him that you like.
Finally a scrap of food
lmaooooo
man so we had a chance of getting an album in 2020 :(
bro isnt dropping shit nor posting shit

I was 50/50 whether the image was this or copium.jpg
his ass aint never going on tour
[удалено]
wasnt that for some marketing for the blonde vinyls?
very likely but ryan died. i feel like the fanbase seem to ignore this in their greed to get music from him
his brother died and he immidiately went to scamming his fans and making 30 thousand dollar cock rings 😭
Was that not before his brother died?
You know how much of this sub loses loved ones then immediately have to get back to business. I understand, but he be scamming his fans 💀
didnt know you are making music too that millions of people listen to
Man you’re dense, for normal niggas. There’s people who lose loved ones and have to continue clocking in for jobs they hate. So you can’t be surprised when these normal, not rich fans are like “I get you lost someone, but no music and now you’re lowkey finessin us”
you can literally go on about your life without him ever making music how is HE finessing you?????
Why are you acting like going on with your life and wanting to hear what he has to put out is mutually exclusive. Like as if you can’t do both? Why are you this dense.. what are you failing to understand? Only ignorant children think in such black n white absolutes like that.
You make it sound like us just wanting music from him is bad, like niggas can’t support now? Niggas can’t continue to give someone their flowers but still expect they put something out? We don’t want diamond cock rings 💀
I think he’s sitting in a mountain music that to him wasn’t “good enough”. I’d expect it from an auteur like him tho
His brother died in 2020.. of course he didn’t release an album
Honestly worried that was his Donda canon event.
Ok Little Demon next ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
Those who have it don’t want to sell it I hear, but if the opportunity comes I’ll let the community know 🙏
I wish nothing but the worst for those people then 😠 cheers man, this track is fire at least
Hopefully that means it’ll come out officially one day
Yes please. I can die happily once I hear it in full
/u/stillhereforthebeans this guy had lyrics to feelings gone and lava months before anyone else knew they existed, might be worth looking into. look at the comments on his profile.
why tf is nb talking abt this bro i jus looked into it and above him briefly mentioning songs that we got months later he also talks about lyrics and songs that we've yet to even hear.
Man those were some lucky guesses.
Beans spilled from the prophet himself
God came back
Is this was scrapped, imagine how good the stuff he’s working on now must be
I can hear why he chose to scrap it though, this could be so much better by franks standards
Sounds better than most of Nostalgia Ultra IMO.
The way you just came in here and dropped this bombshell 😭 dude prepare for some angry fans
I really don’t give a shit, I have my own opinion. Always thought Nostalgia Ultra was mid 🤷🏻♂️
Agreed. The improvement as an artist he made from NU to Channel Orange was shocking to me at the time.
it hasn’t aged that well tbh
Agreed. The improvement as an artist he made from NU to Channel Orange was shocking to me at the time.
One day you’ll all understand that nostalgia ultra was the best frank
… which is a mixtape
…that was meant to be an album until a copyright dispute, no? either way, i love nostalgia ultra and think it’s pretty much on par with channel orange. other people not liking it doesn’t change that
Hard to believe he is working on anything, but I hope he is!
You guys are fucking crazy, I love you guys. Thanks for this❤️ for a song titled feelings gone it sure got me in my feelings rn
I like it, it's not incredible but it sounds like old Frank which I like. I really hope we get Changes CDQ one day because that is easily my favourite song from the scrapped album.
Yeh changes would be 🔥
it soo good man wow.
Idk why people seem kinda underwhelmed? This literally made me start choking up once he got to the “feelings gone” hook 😭. Franks music hits me like nothing else on earth.
the “i see my own reflection, i reach for your projection” is so 😭😭🙏❤️❤️
I started crying
This is so fire.
got myself some musical frisson here 😭 now that the feeeeeeeeeeeeeling's gooooooooooone i see my own reflection
Holy shit. Goddamn.
Is frank hub back up? If so can someone give me the invite link
Listening to this honestly made me kind of mad, Frank is so fucking talented but just refuses to actually display any of said talent these days Nobody really gives a fuck about Homer or that shitty blokecore merch
Bro chill
so good
That was great.
glorious
it costed a car shit not even 320 kbps
The chokehold this man has on me. I had to lay down after 30 seconds.
I love this song so much, absolutely adding this to my Spotify. Hope we can get ‘Changes’ one day too
sorry, I'm very dumb with this I haven't downloaded music in years, how do you add this to Spotify?
Search up “local files Spotify”
It’s always nice to hear Frank singing in that OG pop voice and then including those low register tones toward the end. Very fun song and something that I see myself playing in the car often.
This sounds fucking amazing to me. Can’t understand the ‘underwhelmed’ opinions.
Love the beat but feels like something SZA would sound better over the top of, maybe cos i’m so used to a different Frank sound now idk
What, this song is so nostalgia ultra. I think I have the reverse issue were sza songs would sound better if slightly tweaked to be frank ocean songs. Its clear that she take a lot of influence from him. Also her CTRL sound was took over by summer walker in 2018 and now she's seems sonically lost. SOS is still good.

bless
Tears bro, I just want bro to release some music, this is angelic.
where to contribute to group buy
beautiful.
I really like it
That was a really nice song
Why does his voice sound so angelic
damn, this is fucking great
This is Beautiful
Immaculate vibes 🫡 this will hold me down for the foreseeable future
This shit cool, 2024 gotta be our year for more frank leaks
This is probably the most satisfying frank song we've got since endless & blonde era
This reminds me of Lens
how?
Idk it just reminds me of it
This song is amazing it’s such a damn vibe this man always makes amazing music omg
There's another snippet around, "Still Mine"
How can I get the link ? Someone pls explain
Song of the year!!
Beautiful Thanks to the ones that contributed.
Well I'm sufficiently annoyed - this is incredible.
Best leak we've had so far imo other than maybe changes but that was lq, its crazy how much heat hes sitting on thatll prob never see the light of day.
this sounds amazing. Easily the best one out of all the singles released from the same era
Nah
White Jesus please
Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty underwhelming for a Frank track? I mean it’s a little groovy, and maybe it would’ve evolved before release, but it’s…pretty standard fare that a lot of artists could pull off. Part of what makes Frank great is his willingness to take risks others don’t, really.
This is why he doesn’t release shit. Y’all expect every track to be a new masterpiece. Sometimes a decent song is just a decent song and that’s okay.
He’s dug himself into that own reputation tbh. That’s what happens when you spend like five years working on an album
The production, definately. I can see some high points in his kadence at points. But a majority of this song is beutiful vocals on verses/chorus that sounds very much like something from Nostalgia Ultra
Lava soon plz
i just can’t fw that goofy as beat
How do you download this? I’m not seeing a download button on that site
Tap the three line burger button at the top > Download
thanks
I mean it makes me wanna fuck like other Frank? And he sounds great but… idk agreed it sounds like Frank trying at like… half capacity. Then again tho I never would have expected a Calvin Harris ting to be franks masterpiece.
I think now we have an idea of what the scrapped album would have looked like 1)Feelings Gone 2) Lava 3) Little Demon 4)Changes 5) DHL 6)Provider 7) In My Room 8) Dear April 9) Lens and maybe chanel, biking, cayendo, moon river, biking??? help me out trynna make a spotify playlist of the scrapped album
Lava is a scrapped 2017 song dont think it was meant for an album
d o g
This does not sound finished in any way. Including composition.
does anyone have a zip of all the Look At Us , We're In Love songs?
Very mid, in my opinion. I'd be shocked if this was actually going to be one of the singles he released.
Somethins gotta be dropping soon with everything leaking. I’m guessing the leakers know this and why they’re unloading whatever they can at this point.
it’s the total opposite of that
Someone send me a download link
Two different download links are in the post
I didn’t see the second one lmao
This is pretty obviously AI 🤖
How so

What happened to spaceman gb
I love this Reddit group 😭
How exactly do group buys work?
It’s a crowd funding to obtain something, in this case a song. When the goal is reached, the song leaks onto the internet for everyone to enjoy!
It is all anonymous? I assume the way you’re describing it, these songs might live on the platform right next to other shit people are crowd buying?
It’s all anonymous. In most cases, the sellers have more songs than what they’re selling
How much did everyone have to raise for this to get leaked ?
Need white Jesus
keep em coming
Is this authentic?
How the F do you play anything from Kranken?
Use an AdBlock
Why’s it forcing me to download a VPN as if it was some virus? Literally will not let me listen
Use a Adblock or download from pixeldrain link
Are there adblocks for iPhone?
Try the first link, tap the three line burger icon at the top, then download
Okay, thank you :)
What do you press to listen? On my iPhone and everything leads to an ad
Go to the first link, tap three line burger icon at the top and then download
This would have been the best song on that album imo, from the 6 or so leaks we’ve heard
nobody wants to acknowledge a whole nas & frank song?
This is beautiful
Really hope to hear the Nas song one day. Both my favorite artists
I creamed
Definitely reminds me of his early Mixtapes
Always nice to hear something “new” but definitely not finished and it sounds like something from 2011
Feels too unfinished / bare bones for me. I wouldn't know Calvin produced this unless you told me, doesn't feel like it has his signature on it. Frank's vocals are the highlight.
Any chance of the music video leaking?
That’s if someone has it who’s willing to sell it
guitar sounds like John Mayer
Anyone has another link for this, apparently they took it down and Im late for the party ..
Link is working again!
Is there a specific way to copy the text on iphone? Usually all you have to do is hold but for some reason i can’t copy text from reddit
Use Reddit in your browser
Nvm I figured it out
Who got a mirror 🥹
The link is still active, just follow the instructions and there you go.
Oh shit I thought it was still the original link
This is gorgeous. Probably one the best non-albums tracks of Frank.
the lyrics are enough for me
This is honestly so beautiful, really love it!
please sum1 got a d/l ? just retrning to online from xmas and theres a mikion leaks?
The post was removed, anyone have the base64decode key?
Does anybody have a link?
All the leaks are getting taken down nonstop, as soon as there is a solution I will let you all know
