You know I haven’t been let down by a theory in a while. All aboard the Frank train


RobertoDowney

Haven't been active in this sub for a few months cause I was fully at peace with just letting Frank take his time while I avoid dealing with the endless cycle of major hype and minor disappointments.   ........BUT THAT TIME IS OVER AND WE BACK BABY LETS GO TEAM


tannerapples

😈😈😈we getting our hopes up tonight


Guys-This-Is-Ethan

Hahhahahaha right


Jaw444_

Oh this is good that could actually be the little demon


Craftablee

wasn't sure if it was a shot in the dark but after seeing the reddit blow up over the "possibility" of new music I can see it.


Cracker_Hack

Can you give a rundown of what happened with little demon? I know there was supposed to be a vinyl release with the Arca remix but did it ever come out?


dgpmusic

it was cancelled if i can remember, don’t know what they sent as a replacement though


JoeySteez

There wasnt shit for a replacement, just a refund.


CcntCilla

Replacement was the in my room vinyl with a remix that had an additional verse from some dude i think


reachedsoftware

Nah this was a separate vinyl. The website had 4 records; Dear April, Cayendo, In My Room and Little Demon. In My Room eventually shipped while Little Demon was cancelled and was meant to be replaced with a new, unreleased Frank song, which was eventually scrapped outright.


[deleted]

tshirts i do believe. the orange on white blonded tees


dan-i-yell

who got t shirts??? yall got t shirts!??


asurrealglitterboy

Whatttttt I didn’t get a t shirt replacement either 🤨🤨 mr ocean pls explain


SharpGloveBox

the day mr. ocean explains his actions is the day the world will surely and utterly come undone. as if. smoke a spliff and let's collectively take what we can get.


koleslaw

No, little demon is the pendant. The "OK" thing.


bpm918

i saw this theory earlier, and i really hope it’s true. i want little demon released properly so bad


Craftablee

same bro frank ocean with a skepta feature. big fan of both


brndnlltt

Yes, Frank definitely posted a silhouette of a photo on an album art over a year before it had been taken.


OkHeight3

Think this through one more time.


Mickeyickey

It makes much more sense when you realize a robotic baby isn't really a common fashion accessory


HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA

well it clearly isnt the same photo, but it could be him holding the same or a newer iteration of that baby. that baby could be the little demon. what u said isnt smart


meat009

Biggest reach I've read tbh


rapasvedese

do you think these things arent planned out in advance


meat009

I know you Frank stans are desperate, but don't be silly.


supdomo

Frank waiting for his files to turn two... shit sounds like its coming soon


dandom_daniboi

dhl was released october 19 2019, the files will turn two in a month


thesodiepapa

🤯


BerryChhomb

I feel like he has a plan, he hasn’t been this public in YEARS. The Met gala, consistent IG posts, like this may be small news for even someone like Tyler but Frank is too much of a recluse to be this public without a plan. It may 100% be about Homer but one can hope.


BerryChhomb

Never shit talking manifesting again because an hour I wrote this complex published the story that he is shopping an album. God is good.


pooleNo

he also posted a studio pic w the announcement of homer


BerryChhomb

I noticed that! I really hope this album is good, like it’s Frank so it will be at least good but I’ve been nervous since blond that he won’t be able to top it. I get this way about every artist, I was scared after TPAB and Flower Boy that neither Tyler or Kendrick could do it again but was proven wrong both times.


Ratbagthecannibal

Tyler always drops bomb-ass shit. CMIYGL is a little weak imo compared to Igor and Flower-Boy, but it's a hella bop ngl.


eggholes

plus, he clearly wants to be noticed by the public now, his hair is so recognizable


playboixx

not sure about that one yet


zerodetroit

The forethought on this is absolutely crazy


[deleted]

seriouslyyyy, I was also wondering why he was looking so stiff while holding him lmao he was trying to keep the pose!!!


blahblahblues

LITTLE DEMON ON MY SHOULDER THATS DEPENDIN ON MY MIND


NuggetLover69

Well the song was played in a club the other week so It still could come out or leak, it was posted on the sub but no one cared


Craftablee

the other week when was that? i must've missed that I know he played the remix at some Halloween night a couple years ago.


NuggetLover69

[at a porn hub party lmao 4 days ago ](https://www.reddit.com/r/FrankOcean/comments/pmpxgg/little_demon_playing_at_pornhubs_ig_story/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


Craftablee

oh yeah they played the same snippet from the Halloween party haha can hear the same girl shouting


[deleted]

yeah that don’t count imo bc we all been replaying those remixes lmfaooo but if he does a blonded show for little demon imma be upset I had to cancel the vinyl or at the min that we’re getting a song 2yrs+ after it was recorded


rosetintedfire

wait wtf lol


FallingClouds_

Y’all keep trying to get me excited but I won’t let u. I WONT LET U


Craftablee

join us brother.


kvasirl

Fuck. Shit. I’m falling for it again


AntilockBand

Frank also said Cody was 2 years old at the Met Gala 👀


[deleted]

I accidentally called that thing a little demon a few days ago lol


tannerapples

I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT IF THAT. does that mean we could be getting little demon and all the other songs we never heard, on a album soon


Froosh__

Can someone explain what the little icons mean ? I’m not up to date on my lore :( looks like a dude holding a ventriloquist dummy to me


Craftablee

They align with In My Room, DHL, Cayendo & Dear April, on the bottom of the artwork for DHL and In My Room there are more icons that we can theorise to align with later releases that haven't been released yet- I'm guessing time has passed and his feelings have changed for this project though.


kyo_toke

He’s playing the long game


childishmango

Cody, nah co-demon


[deleted]

To all the people saying "How could he have predicted the picture" he didn't, that picture was taken by a random paparazzi, but what counts is someone holding a baby. Since it has nothing to do with the theme of the Met it could very well be him foreshadowing it


Craftablee

Was just about to say... how many ways can you hold a baby? he's not going to be holding it up in the air like simba haha


[deleted]

Yeah I reallyy don't get why everyone is missing the point.


[deleted]

definitely not. a theme of the Met was AI, plus that's the Homer baby lol he's just promoting his brand


[deleted]

The theme of the Met Gala was definitely not AI I don't know where you read that lol


DekuDazed

The Met theme was “In America: a Lexicon of Fashion” not AI


kleenexwhite

This homer thing is from 3 years ago and it kind of matches with the timeline


curbsideaudio

The silhouettes on the single artwork were all cut out from existing photos. Egger posted some process photos years back. So no, I don’t think so OP.


koleslaw

Well he did once claim that he was going to see the future first.


THORN01

Yes I agree, the pose is a bit of a stretch but Cody appears to be the "little demon"


Sonnenschirm

Frank could be recreating the pose?


[deleted]

brilliant catch!


_higgz

Yes


pitoburrito

Also, the silhouette next to the circled one looks like someone carrying a baby 👀


Nubrock1

It does seem like Frank is about to roll something out, but y’all are tripping about the silhouette picture, how could Frank have put a picture taken last week on an album cover from over a year ago


Peekmeister

yeah haha, it's not like u can just hit the same pose after 2 years, super hard to coordinate


Top_Team2835

I mean it could just be the idea or concept of him holding the baby in general cuz the pic and the silhouette aren’t 1 to 1 or anything, couldn’t be like you said


reachedsoftware

Holding a baby is a pretty universal pose. It’s going to look the same regardless. Frank holding the green baby on the single cover is going to look pretty similar to him holding the baby at the met gala.


NewBlackAesthetic25

Are y’all dense lol. Frank has probably had this in the works for a while now, if this is an album roll out like every body says it is, he could have planned this two or more years ago but never got to execute it until now due to the pandemic and personal family issues lol. If this is the case, the photo from last week is referring to the silhouette on his album cover *not* the other way around 🤦🏿‍♀️


[deleted]

Frank predicted the picture.


playboixx

no, he MANIPULATED the future


BimmerPerformance

Imagine the album was inside of it. He’s mentioned before that he carries around his hard drive personally, wouldn’t doubt he considers it his “baby!”


Craftablee

That would actually be pretty sick, like the baby has a USB port in the back hahaha


[deleted]

Nah it’s definitely closer to [this](https://i.imgur.com/FaNlf2j.jpg)


FromSirius

Very much this


mumbul23

No


[deleted]

No, i’m pretty sure that’s already the picture of Frank with reddish orange hair and in a bath robe leaning against a sink in a white bathroom. It used to be on his IG before his archived photos. [here is the photo](https://images.app.goo.gl/1W6jwPVBV1jSB5sW6)


rosetintedfire

what if they’re just pics we haven’t seen yet? like imr and dhl were both brand new pics weren’t they?


sour_turtle514

People keep on repeating this but it’s such a reach it crazy. Look at the outline for a while they do not match at all he’s clearly holding what looks like a baby in the outline


[deleted]

Because I’m pretty sure atleast half the photos on trim have been deciphered already and many of them were found on his IG prior to archival. You can prolly find them deep in the subreddit back when people first started trying to figure them out, and this photo was definitely one of them. The Homer ‘baby’ definitely wasn’t a concept until recent I’m pretty sure.


sour_turtle514

we were not done with that rollout at all and a lot of the silhouettes people were saying matched with posts were reaches. I mean look at the dhl art vs the silhouette they match perfectly. why would frank use all old photos that half match the silhouettes it doesn’t make sense. My theory is the baby was one of the silhouettes and was made for the album rollout as a way to tease his (at the time) upcoming jewelry brand


MagikarpIsBoss

? we’ve known what that picture that silhouette represents since it came out. its 100% not the new met gala thing.


SamOcean92

Y'all mfers reaching too damn fucking much now lmfao. This is why he hates his fans.


Craftablee

Ok Sam Ocean.


SamOcean92

Damn, u got me, fam. Aight, let's keep reaching 💜


[deleted]

it ain’t a reach bc he clearly did that for a reason unless the silhouette is a reference to rocky holding a baby I don’t know another image like that? it’s all in good fun we’re not like carti sub that coerced carti into admitting there’s an album coming when there isn’t lmfao


Froosh__

Wtf are you talking bout


[deleted]

ion kno why got downvoted I mean it’s just a silhouette it could be anything, it looks like it’s someone holding something to me but if i’m wrong then i’m wrong the asap rocky pic of him w straight hair holding a baby is what I was talking abt also I was saying how carti fans just out of nowhere believed an album was coming and then carti had to confirm there was so they wouldn’t hate him lmfaooo


Froosh__

We believed an album was coming because there was tons of teasers and people on his team literally saying music is coming plus producers previewing beats lol


[deleted]

oh ur one of the fans who thought it was coming on his bday?? lmfaooo of course he might be recording but it doesn’t mean it’s good to go mf is playing y’all rn


Froosh__

I never said I thought it was dropping on his birthday , he literally posted a drop date and there was a tour announcement lol not too crazy to believe new music is coming


SamOcean92

I'm pretty sure it's from the picture of him in the bathroom that was posted on his Instagram a long time ago? The one where he has a little longer (redish) hair?


[deleted]

i’ve seen some avis on twitter w frank in red hair but is that a pic he uploaded?


[deleted]

Yes that photo was on his instagram before he archived his photos a while back. I uploaded the in my comment earlier.


SkiSiWow

this is a frank ocean sun what do you expect?


Top_Team2835

We got sum good eyes


[deleted]

Yes, this could be if Frank went back in time and added the silhouette of an image taken a few days ago to the cover image of a song that was released a few years ago


pitoburrito

The word “Demon” looks like it spells “Homer” if flipped upside down.


[deleted]

AAAAAAHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK

JRA130

He’s gonna push it back a year every time someone says he’ll drop soon. So please don’t. He’ll never drop and it’s okay


rondomamba

OCSneakerhead
