This album is about identity. The album name is blond(e). The feminine spelling of the word is ‘Blonde’ which reflects the tone of the first half of the album which is light, happily melodic and has imagery of summer. Then, in ‘Nights’ there is a beat switch which is exactly halfway in the album (at 30 minutes in the hour long project). This beat switch signifies the Volta in tone to the other (masculine) ‘Blond’ The feel is more brutal, delves into his character and is harsh in it’s realities and ideas. This duality in the album of both sides mirrors his sexuality, identity and mentality throughout.
Literally sob through this album everytime. This fkn album defined a period of my life where everything was bright and new and raw and as I was discovering myself I discovered how taxing life and love are. Those jubilant feelings we want so bad can turn sour and crumble everything in your life. There is nothing like a first love ending. It’s crazy. So many years later and this album is still as powerful as the day it came out. It’s an album unlike any other.
YESSS this is my favourite album ever!! I'm so excited for this reaction fun fact: the whole album is about duality and the album is split in two. The whole album is 1 hour long and the beat drop in "nights" marks exactly 30 minutes of the whole album which is the exact middle of the whole album! And the two halves are two different themes hence the duality.
Y’all should react to Endless next!!! It’s his most underrated project in my opinion. It was uploaded the same day as Blonde, except it was a visual release and not in traditional track list form😭💽 I feel like people pay it dust for that reason when it truly is a BEAUTIFUL album!
My favorites are Nikes, Skyline To, and Seigfried. There is something about this specific reaction where I felt goosebumps rush down my body. I literally almost started sobbing when I listened to your guy’s reaction to seigfried 😭 But i’m glad you finally reacted to this album & i’m always supporting.
You guys had an amazing reaction and review! I am a fan of you all instantly. You definitely gained a new subscriber! As a Frank Ocean fan you articulated every song extremely well!!! You guys really got it quickly 😇😁 I’m proud lol. Can’t wait for more reactions. You guys might love “Endless” by him
just found your channel guys and can i just what an amazing video. really thoughtful and you can feel you really care about the music, the context and everything. amazing
You guys are so good, I've been listening to this album and watching reactions on it for weeks but you gave me so many intetesting interpretations and observations, you're so good at this and you're both obviously smart. I also love your reactions to the songs, they're not artificially hyped but it seems like genuine enthusiaam and enjoyment. Really enjoyed this!
So many memories with this one! It came out the year I moved into my first apartment in college. My top 3 are Solo, Self Control, and Nights. My roommate and I used to sing, "Every night fucks every day up, every day patches the night up" when we would clean up the kitchen the morning after making an elaborate dinner.
i guess the name of the album being different on the cover also means blind, it's referenced on self control when he sings "you cut you hair but you used to live a blonded (blinded) life". He was inspired by a photo of a blonde boy he displays on his album magazine "boys don't cry" to represent the innocence of love especially when you put on the lens of a young person experiencing love in their youth. it's very well thought
I just realized my favorite song on the album 'IVY' ...frank is destroying or taking out his anger and hurt onto the instruments in the studio when the song ends. Hence the sob is about a break up.
NEED NEED NEED you guys to get into Jhené Aiko’s discography. Specifically the album “TRIP” where she takes you on a psychedelic journey where she deals with heartbreak, healing and the loss of her brother. It’s truly a life altering listen! 🖤🫂
I lost my virginity to Skyline To and I’m going to get Ivy tatted on my body for that reason exactly. Even though it turned into nothing and I no longer love him, it meant the most to me at the time.

Realest comment ever
Love this breakdown by y'all. Blond will forever be iconic.
Y’all should react to Endless next!!! It’s his most underrated project in my opinion. It was uploaded the same day as Blonde, except it was a visual release and not in traditional track list form😭💽 I feel like people pay it dust for that reason when it truly is a BEAUTIFUL album!
He intentionally made endless a worse album to reduce the sales his label would make
Y'all are real Beyoncé fans cuz it took a while for people to realize it was her with the background vocals LOL love you guys
one of my favorite albums of all time, loveee seeing people react to this album for the first time
the immediate love for pink + white is so real
My favorites are Nikes, Skyline To, and Seigfried. There is something about this specific reaction where I felt goosebumps rush down my body. I literally almost started sobbing when I listened to your guy’s reaction to seigfried 😭 But i’m glad you finally reacted to this album & i’m always supporting.

NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE

ohhhhh ive been waiting for this one!!! please do NIKI next!!!
i was waiting for this one!!!!!!!!! now we need a brent/sonder reaction
So hype to see this. Nikes is my favorite track
Album still makes me cry till this day. This dude frank made arguably the best experimental rnb album then dipped.
I love that both of your reactions are genuine . I like to watch you both a lot 🙌🏻❣️
I’ve been waiting on this
its ok i just listened this like about a year ago so better late than never
The last track is all audio clips of his brother which is sad now because his brother Ryan just passed recently
I just realized my favorite song on the album 'IVY' ...frank is destroying or taking out his anger and hurt onto the instruments in the studio when the song ends. Hence the sob is about a break up.
As a straight man I do not understand how you haven’t listened to Frank…
Loved this vid so much, y’all r the best
Pink +White Skyline, to Nights Closer to You, Godspeed ❤️
firstttt love this album and love y’all 💕💕💕
