11. What was the name of the visual album Frank Ocean released the day before "Blonde", in which he broadcasted himself woodworking?

From Quiz Frank Ocean

Answer: Endless

"Endless" is widely speculated as Ocean's mechanism of escaping his contract with record label Def Jam Recordings. "Endless" features production credits from experimental artist Arca on "Mine" and a notable cover of "(At Your Best) You Are Love" by the Isley Brothers. The album was exclusively distributed by Apple Music in video format. In the video, Ocean is seen building a wooden staircase. It is more ambient than its successor "Blonde" and was largely overshadowed by that album as it was released only a day earlier on 19 August 2019. It was remixed and re-released physically on 10 April 2018, which led it to receive some critical evaluation as a standalone piece.

From Quiz Frank Ocean

Answer: Nike

Frank Ocean announced in 2013 that he had began writing for his second official studio album "Blonde", then under the working name "Boys Don't Cry". Numerous release dates were announced in the lead-up, with the delay officially ending upon its release on 20 August 2016. The name "Boys Don't Cry" ended up being used for a magazine Ocean released in limited locations around the world that accompanied the release of "Blonde" and included an alternate version of the album. "Blonde" is more experimental and atmospheric in composition than "channel ORANGE" and features very little percussion. Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, André 3000, James Blake and Pharrell Williams are just some of the names on the star-studded contribution list, while "White Ferrari" and "Seigfried" feature interpolations of "Here, There and Everywhere" by The Beatles and "A Fond Farewell" by Elliott Smith respectively. "Blonde" was widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of the decade; indeed, Pitchfork named it the best album of the 2010s in its 2019 list, while Paste, Billboard, the A.V. Club and Stereogum all also featured the album on their end of decade lists amongst others. The album peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 Charts and in numerous other countries including Australia and the UK. "Nikes" is the opening track of "Blonde" and thematically explores consumerism and modern relationships. Throughout most of the song, Ocean's vocals are pitch-shifted higher than his real voice. The music video features surrealist vignettes from a party.

15. Which track in the middle of the album "Blonde" features an iconic beat switch and reflections on living through Hurricane Katrina?

From Quiz Frank Ocean

Answer: Nights

The beat switch on "Nights" occurs at the exact midpoint of the album and signals a shift in mood from the nostalgic and happier first half exhibited on songs like "Pink + White" to the more melancholic second half that features songs like "White Ferrari" and "Futura Free". It has also been the subject of numerous memes and fan reaction videos. The song itself begins with a lyrical exploration of a night out on the first half, while the second half explores Ocean considering some of the repercussions of such a lifestyle and looking back on key moments of his life.

16. Frank wrote and sung "Wiseman" for which movie?

From Quiz All About Frank Ocean

Answer: Django Unchained

Unfortunately, the song did not end up on the soundtrack. Quentin Tarantino (the director of the film) stated that he loved the song, but could not find the right scene for it to be featured in, and didn't want to cheapen the track by putting it in just any scene.
