Took me a while to even listen to Blond because I’d been really put off by Nostalgia, Ultra. Which I only listened to a few minutes of before thinking to myself, ‘this is boring, sounds just like Coldplay or something’, and gave up on it.

I’ve only just found out that I must have been listening to Strawberry Swing and that it is, actually, a Coldplay cover. Idiot.

Anyway Blond is fucking fantastic and I’m enjoying delving in to his earlier stuff too.

New track on the way apparently called “These Days” shame Little Demons has been cancelled it would appear, love an Arca remix.

not a big fan of the ‘transcends the genre’ angle but i get what you’re saying. i should also add that a lot of r&b heads really love frank for sure. i dont think hes really an outsider within the space. and i dont think its a matter of getting him (for me anyway)… i get it, i just dont love/obsess over him as much as others. my fav tracks of his could rival my fav tracks of other r&b artists, i just dont find much consistency in the catalog. im being annoying about this. let’s all just vibe out to swim good yeah?

No thank you. Best bits of these are when people make really passionate in-depth posts about why they love someone.
