Frank Ocean’s scrapped vinyl—originally intended to replace “Little Demon” orders in 2020—sold on eBay for a price that ranks it among the most expensive 7-inch singles ever sold on the site.
The tracks feature different artwork from the digital copies provided with the DropCards included in the vinyl packaging.
The release of this track bucks the trends of the past few years, where new songs are debuted on the artist’s Beats 1 radio program, Blonded Radio, then released to the public on all platforms after.
During the latest episode of blonded Radio, Frank Ocean premiered his first original track since “Provider.”
Pitchfork Contributing Editor Jayson Greene lays out the case for why Frank was able to win 2017 without releasing an album.
Complex dropped their “Best Songs of 2017” list today. Of the 50 tracks that make up the list, Frank grabbed 3 slots for himself and shared one more as a featured artist.

The video begins with the visual artist entering his NYC studio and assembling a custom boombox, which he labels “Model 60.” After inserting a cassette and pressing play, karaoke-style lyrics flash across the screen as a Hello Kitty head bounces over the words in time with the song.
The seventh episode of Blonded Radio features Frank Ocean freestyling over 2 Chainz’s “Rolls Royce Bitch,” as well as a new single titled “Provider.”
