Frank Ocean Just Released Two New Songs and Fans are Going Insane
Article via CheatSheet
If ever there was a time that fans were in need of some new Frank Ocean tunes, it’s now that the majority of the population is stuck inside their homes due to coronavirus (COVID-19). Not one to disappoint, Ocean released not one but two new songs and fans are absolutely losing it.
Frank Ocean’s new songs
The artists newest releases are “Dear April” and “Cayendo.” They may sound familiar to some fans as he previewed both songs during an appearance in October in New York.
Ocean teamed up with Daniel Aged for both songs. “Cayendo” is reminiscent of Ocean’s Channel Orange days with its heartfelt ballads. Cayendo opens up with Ocean crooning in Spanish before switching to English.
“Dear April” continues the emotional journey of “Cayendo.” Genius describes the song as a “love ballad.”
“‘Dear April’ is an emotional love ballad from Frank, featuring him explaining to his significant other how their relationship will never be the same. The track features a backing from an organ instrumental and has Frank’s vocals coming in and out of the forefront of the track.”
Both songs are available on Vinyl.
Fan reactions to the new music
Fans were obviously excited to wake up to new music from Ocean and they immediately took to social media to express their feelings.
“Big plans for tonight, gonna be crying uncontrollably to Frank Ocean,” one person tweeted.
“Thank you #FrankOcean for releasing those vinyl tracks on digital,” another person said. “A gift to us all on this Friday.”
“So far the only good thing that’s happening in April is this new #FrankOcean,” one fan wrote.
“I feel like I died, went to heaven, and came back after hearing both tracks,” another person said.
And others used Ocean’s actions as a way to call out other artists.
“Quarantine got Frank Ocean releasing sh*t???” one person said. “Rihanna you have no excuse now.”
For some, the songs turned their whole mood around.
“Woke up to not one but TWO #frankocean songs… today is gonna be a great day,” one fan tweeted.
When will Frank Ocean release a new album?
It is unknown whether these new songs will be on Ocean’s third album. Fans have been waiting on a new Ocean project since Blonde in 2016.
In an interview with W Magazine, Ocean shed some light on what his next album will be like.
“I believed for a very long time that there was strength in vulnerability, and I really don’t believe that anymore,” he said. “‘Strength’ and ‘vulnerability’ sound opposite as words. And so to combine them sounds wise, but I don’t know if it is wise. It’s just this realization that hit me: ‘Oh, right, it’s a choice whether you will be truthful or a liar.’”
“The expectation for artists to be vulnerable and truthful is a lot, you know,” he continued. “When it’s no longer a choice. Like, in order for me to satisfy expectations, there needs to be an outpouring of my heart or my experiences in a very truthful, vulnerable way. I’m more interested in lies than that. Like, give me a full motion-picture fantasy.”
BTS Launches Web Series to Help Fans Learn Korean
Series will include 30 three-minute episodes
If you’re going to learn Korean, why not learn it from K-Pop group BTS? The band has announced they will host 30 language lessons on social media app Weverse beginning March 24th.
Each episode will last three minutes and will focus on Korean grammar and expressions, with a lesson plan for each developed by researchers at the Korean Language Content Institute and Professor Heo Yong of the Department of Korean Education at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. The idea emerged after fans asked for the band’s videos to be subtitled in English.
“There are only limited ways our fans could learn Korean with ease,” Big Hit Entertainment founder, Bang Si-Hyuk, said in a statement. “Big Hit has created Korean learning media using artist content for a more rewarding and immersive experience for our fans.”
The episodes are “designed to make it easy and fun for global fans who have difficulty enjoying BTS’ music and content due to the language barrier,” Big Hit noted.
The lessons have arrived at the perfect time for fans who are stuck in the house during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the series was announced back in February. The series will reuse material from the band’s reality show, Run BTS!, and from YouTube series like Bangtan Bombs and BTS Episodes. Fans can access the episodes via Weverse.
BTS canceled their Korean concerts last month due to coronavirus concerns. The string of concerts, scheduled to take place April 11th, 12th, 18th and 19th at Seoul Olympic Stadium, were intended to be the South Korean group’s homecoming Map of the Soul : 7 shows. The album, released earlier this year, debuted at No. 1 on the RS Charts in early March.

Twitter Declares That ‘Kanye West Is Over’ After His Unedited Phone Call With Taylor Swift Leaks
Article via CheatSheet
Just when we think we’ve finally reached the end of the infamous Kanye West and Taylor Swift feud, another piece of vital information surfaces. In Swift’s recent Netflix documentary, Miss Americana, we got to see the VMA interruption from an entirely new perspective. At the time of the unfortunate incident, Swift believed that she was the one being booed not West. But, of course, a lot has happened between the two since that faithful day in 2009.
Taylor Swift BLASTS Kanye during her Grammys speech #reloaded
A quick recap of The Taylor Swift and Kanye West feud
Back in 2016, West reignited the feud when he released his song “Famous” and referenced the “You Belong With Me” singer. “For all my Southside ni**as that know me best. I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why?
I made that bi*ch famous (God da*n) I made that b*tch famous,” the song
boasts. This lyric clearly hurt Swift’s feelings and she referenced it during her Grammy’s speech soon thereafter.
Kim Kardashian West gets involved
But, things got interesting when West claimed that he had gotten Swift’s permission to use said lyrics.”I called Taylor and had an hour-long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings,” West shared. Fans weren’t sure who to believe until West’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, released a video of the phone conversation where it appeared that Swift did actually give permission to West. The 39-year-old reality star also implied that Swift was a snake when releasing the footage.
Immediately, thousands of people began rallying behind West. They seized the opportunity to paint the Red singer as a liar. She even began trending on Twitter with #TaylorSwiftIsOverPary. Swift immediately tried to take control of the situation. She released a statement saying that she never heard the final lyrics of the song, and never once did West say that he was going to refer to her a bi*ch.

Swift shared her side of the story on Instagram
“Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that b-tch’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened. You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that b*tch’ in front of the entire world. Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did,” Swift began about West in a since-deleted Instagram post.
Swift concluded the statement by saying that she no longer wanted to be a part of the conversation.”Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never been asked to be a part of, since 2009,” the “All Too Well” singer wrote, referencing the infamous VMA incident.

On March 20, 2020, a video leaked of the unedited call between Swift and West. In this new version, it’s clear that Swift is apprehensive about the lyrics that West has come up with about her. “Is it going to be mean?” she asks before West promises that it’s not. She also says that she needs to think about it and hear the song before she can give her blessing. Furthermore, the lyrics that West shared with Swift were not the ones that ended up on the song.
Twitter declares that #KanyeWestIsOver
With this new information, it appears that Swift was telling the truth the entire time. Both West and Swift are currently trending on Twitter under the following hashtags: #KanyeWestIsOverParty, #KanyeIsOverParty, and #TaylorToldTheTruth. People are also outraged at the amount of hate Swift received at the time and are making their feelings known. View this post on Instagram

“Proof that Kanye West and Kim not only mortified Taylor in the most cruel, vile, and horrifying way but they lied to the whole world to make THEM look better and to benefit THEM. selfishness at its fuc*ing finest I guess #KanyeWestIsOverParty,” one person tweeted. “Taylor Swift was canceled & attacked for this, to the point it affected her mentally and made her think she had to disappear from the spotlight. So sad she received that treatment when she was telling the truth the entire time. #KanyeWestIsOverParty,” another person chimed in.
#TaylorToldTheTruth is trending on Twitter
It’s certainly great that the truth is finally out there about the situation. However, we hope that people have learned that their words carry weight and sending a person massive amounts of hate can be detrimental no matter what their celebrity status. Hopefully Swift is able to find some peace about the situation if she hasn’t already.
