AceShowbiz - Although it's been nearly four months since the release of Frank Ocean's sophomore album "Blonde", questions have remained about which artists contributed to the album's 17 tracks. And now, the full liner notes for the album have been revealed, confirming Kanye West and Beyonce Knowles' contributions to the album.
Previously, a list of album contributors was found in Frank's "Boys Don't Cry" magazine, crediting Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, David Bowie and many more. In September, the album's songwriting credits were revealed by ASCAP, but those credits didn't turn out to be complete.
As pointed out by Pitchfork, a user on Reddit uploaded an image of "Blonde" liner notes from a CD purchased during Frank's exclusive Black Friday sale. It was confirmed that Kanye was noted as a co-writer on "White Ferrari", while Beyonce provided backing vocals to ballad song "Pink + White".
Elsewhere on the album, James Blake earned a credit to "Solo", while Pharrell contributed to "Pink + White". Former Dirty Projectors member Amber Coffman contributed additional vocals to "Nikes", while Yung Lean was listed as a featured vocalist on "Godspeed".
"Blonde" debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart with 276,000 units sold in its first week. It serves as the follow-up to Frank's first album "Channel Orange" which was released on July 10, 2012. He is scheduled to headline two music festivals in summer 2017, including NorthSide Festival in Denmark on June 9 and London's Lovebox Festival on July 14.
