Frank Ocean fans ‘heartbroken’ after Tyler, The Creator’s Chromakopia album release
As a long-time fan of both Frank Ocean and Tyler, the Creator, I must say that this news about their supposed collaboration being absent from Tyler’s new album has left me with a bittersweet feeling reminiscent of the first time I heard “Thinkin Bout You” on repeat.
Fans of Frank Ocean felt deeply disappointed when they learned that he wasn’t part of Tyler, The Creator’s latest album, Chromatopia, despite their hopes leading up to its release that he might unexpectedly join in.
33-year-old rap artist Tyler recently dropped his eighth solo studio album on Monday, exactly 12 days following the announcement of the project.
During the launch of the marketing campaign, enthusiasts speculated fervently about the possibility of the “Thinkin Bout You” singer Frank, aged 37, secretly joining in, hinted by some subtle clues or misdirections.
A buzz swept across the internet when people figured out that Chromakopia was set to be released on Frank’s 37th birthday.
Apart from other details, they observed that Tyler appeared driving a white Ferrari in the music video of the track titled ‘Noid’. This particular video was launched as a solo release on October 21st.
Immediately, fans speculated that the car was a tribute to Frank’s song “White Ferrari” from his 2016 album, Blonde, suggesting that it might be a sign of an upcoming collaboration between the two parties.
Furthermore, a tantalizing snippet of Tyler’s latest song titled St Chroma sparked widespread speculation on the internet that he might have teamed up with Frank, given the obscure lyrics.
It has since been revealed that Daniel Caesar leant his vocals to the track.
Frank, however, is nowhere to be seen on Chromakopia.
Rather than that, the album comprises 14 tracks, some of which feature collaborations with artists like GloRilla, Daniel Caesar, Teezo Touchdown, and Childish Gambino, among others.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, upset fans vented their frustrations.
Originally, it said: ‘I had been anticipating a surprise collaboration with Frank Ocean on #Chromakopia for his 37th birthday, but it seems that wasn’t in the cards.’
Another said: ‘The new Tyler the Creator album is absolutely amazing. BUT WHERES FRANK OCEAN?’
A third continued: ‘Frank Ocean not being in Tyler’s album was my biggest heartbreak of the month.’
Others, however, called out fans for being ‘delusional’ over the fantasy collab.
‘Kinda wish people would stop expecting Frank Ocean to be on every Tyler project lol y’all just end up disappointing yourselves,’ one said.
‘No Frank Ocean feature in Chromakopia, you all were just being delusional,’ another added.
Frank and Tyler have a long-standing friendship that dates back to their shared history; it was around 2009 when the musician became part of rapper Tyler’s collective, known as Odd Future.
In 2011, he featured on Tyler’s song She, which appeared on his album, Goblin.
Enthusiasts of the Grammy-award winning artist have been eagerly anticipating the unveiling of fresh tunes, having remained steadfast in their patience.
In the year 2012, his initial album titled Channel Orange made its entry into the market and became an immediate success. Similarly, his subsequent album, Blonde, came out in 2016 and also met with similar success.
Previously, Frank had to scrap his second Coachella show last year, following a series of technical difficulties during his first performance the week before.
The gig had marked the end of a six-year hiatus.
Although Frank hasn’t officially announced any new music as of now, his enthusiastic followers will embark on a seven-month global tour to celebrate the release of Chromakopia instead.
The tour commences in Minnesota on February 2, and it will take him through various cities across North America. Afterward, he’ll travel to the UK and Europe starting from April 25.
