This All-Piano Cover Album of Frank Ocean's 'Blonde' is a Tranquil Escape
Frank Ocean's been steadily releasing music since the arrival of his two album bomb, Endless and Blonde, last summer. And the only thing that's matched Frank's output in the space between has been the number of respective takes the surprise releases have inspired. There's the chopped-never-slopped version, courtesy of DJ Slim K and The Chopstars, the house-laced version a la Kweku Saunderson and now an all-piano cover that's surfaced with no attributable hand behind it.
The good folks at DJ Booth brought the project to our attention, and it's about the best possible way to score your rainy Sunday routine, where Blonde becomes a full and dynamic ivory suite, tracing the singer's melodies with surgical precision. Slip into a little tranquility with the all-piano cover album below. Frank Ocean's Blonde is out now and can be purchased via iTunes today. Head over to Apple Music to hear the last five episodes of his blondedRADIO show on Beats 1 and scroll on to peep Ocean's full slate of tour dates, stateside and abroad.
