Listen to Frank Ocean's new single Pyramids, a 10-minute musical journey
While Frank Ocean has been offering new material for months performing new songs at the Coachella, releasing some bonus material from a would-be deluxe edition of Nostalgia, Ultra, it was about time he puts his true work for the fans' listening pleasure. Ocean recently debuted a huge surprise for us, a new single a 10-minute track titled "Pyramids".
The song's a 10-minute R&B event, traveling from club banger ancient Egypt ("send the cheetahs to the tomb") to the slow jam strip club ("she's workin' at the Pyramid tonight"). It's a journey well-suited to Ocean's smooth croon and we totally love it. Take a listen to it below.
