Frank Ocean’s blonded RADIO program on Apple Music’s Beats 1 has become appointment listening…if we were only figure out the schedule. This morning, the mercurial singer unveiled the fifth episode of his regular radio show, and just like the ones before it, he slipped a brand new song into the mix.
Titled “Slide On Me,” the new track is a slinky, acoustic guitar-guided collaboration with Young Thug. For those keen-eared Frank fans, this new song might sound a bit familiar as it appeared in a different form on his pre-Blonde, woodworking soundtrack Endless.
It’s a bit jarring to come out of the wilderness period of Frank’s career where we didn’t hear anything, to this new era where he consistently drops brand new jems on a weekly basis. On either late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, depending on what time zone you occupy, Ocean share the fourth episode of blonded RADIO where he debuted two versions of a new song titled “Lens,” one of which came with a verse from Travis Scott. Before that he unveiled a collaboration with Jay Z and Tyler The Creator called “Biking.” Then there was his song with A$AP Rocky, “Chanel.”
