New Music: Frank Ocean “Thinking About You”

While most of us were asleep, Frank Ocean kept his fans in his thoughts and released this ballad on his tumblr before taking it down. What a tease. No telling where this will live, but this sounds soothing.

UPDATE: Newer version for the radio. Same Frankie.

    ocean is on his job smooth tune

  11. […] Those Odd Future boys just love dropping new music when they want and where they want. And, most of the time, they do it at the latest hour possible on their Tumblr accounts. Proving that point is this new, super-smooth jam from Frank Ocean, “Thinking About You”. It apparently went up late last night, though if you go to his Tumblr now, you won’t find it. Oh well, at least we know some folks were on the case as we have the track here. It’s streaming only, though, so get ready to keep hitting play every few minutes. If this is what dude’s been working on lately, I can’t wait to hear whatever Ocean has coming for us next. [via] […]

  12. COLD DEATH says:

    MAN, R&B NIGGAS ARE GAYS! HIS VOICE IS GAY AS HELL! FUCK ODD FUTURE!

  15. Da Truthhhhhhh says:

  16. NuJew says:

  17. Sc_r says:

    R.I.P Cold “faggot” Death

    Where is she now???

  20. Word says:

    Smooth shit. Aside from that weird ass Novacane video, the dude seems to have his shit together

  21. Chan says:

    Damn. Frank Ocean really is the future. He is just the right mixture of R&B and a hip hop element thats hard than most of the other R&B artist. Its really cool. Dig the song.

  22. haq says:

    LMFAO dat kid is maaaaad overrated. Tre Williams shits on this clown easily.

  23. Dre says:

    Relax fuckboys..it’s just a mater of time you’ll be shitting on him…it’s called success and everyhting will turn to hate

  24. art says:

    hey haq: simple question.. how come NO ONE is talking about Tre Williams… marinate on that for a minute.. Frank is getting love because the majority of the public appreciates his talent.. thats how it works.. cream rises to the top… He worked with Beyonce, Kanye and Jay.. do you think they recognize talent?

  25. Yo this guy is bringing back R&B. Something this with this other nigga called The Weeknd.. Drake better get both of them on his next album but most likely he’ll have the weeknd on there.

  26. COLD DEATH says:

    SHOT OUT TO MY STANS! FAGGOTS!

    MY LIFE IS PERFECT! I HAVE AN AMAZING WIFE AND A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER! I HAVE A JOB – I’M WORKING AT NIGHT!

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  27. […] his new song, frank ocean’s elevated pitch takes listeners on another level allowing the undulating synth […]

  29. Really Tho? says:

  30. Really tho says:

    Ive heard that everyone and their moms has got a beat from this dude, but this is the first time ive heard him on the mic…color me unimpressed. Emo hop my niggas? Lets leave that to canada

  31. dadankness says:

    Definitely “emo hop” or shit for the “hipster hop” peeps.. Anyways..

    Is that him singing? If so.. Hes aces and spades better than drake..

    Can we get rid of Drake? Can someone kill him already? I mean i dont care if it gets him martyr status.. as long as dude is gone.. Im sick of Disney stars in rap.. It dont work.. Even if its someone who kills as a hate crime thinking he is an afghan or some shit.. Im down with it.. Get rid of Drake rappers.. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

  32. COLD DEATH says:

    ^

    WHY? DRAKE KINDA CUTE (NOHOMO)!

  33. Dre says:

    Drake rpresents more people then any rapper…he’s the most relatable too…what are you talking about?

  34. art says:

    I’m In Love With This Dudes Music

  40. BLambo says:

    I never post on this shit but I figured I would take a few minutes to write a little something, I don’t give a f*ck what anyone says.. this dude can sing, reminds me of some maxwell on some real shit. Those of you who hate on anything but what you believe is rap or hip hop are ignorant. If you stick to one type of music there is obviously something wrong with you.. It’s like you mother f*ckers are scared that you will look like bitches if you like an r&b song, even tho you prolly listen to it secretly anyway, kids these days.. too funny

  41. T.O. says:

    @dadankness get off drake’s dick wierdo, someone should get rid of you
