Blonded radio is huge part of frank ocean so i had to make it realistic as possible. i added in my own audio effects that frank has used using adobe AUDITION i made my voice at the start distorted  and blonded blended. This meant it sounded more professional. personally , Sound is important because it can tell us about character, place, and time. It’s important because it informs us and moves us in ways visuals can’t, and because certain combinations of sound and visuals can evoke what neither can do alone. It’s also potentially important because it can help to determine what we see. But why be shy?…. Visuals are sometimes important because they help to determine what to HEAR. 

 

this is me producing the radio , as you can see i am talking into a microphone , around me is the vocal booth. the vocal booth blocks out all noises around you. this led to my audio sounding crysal clear and more professional.

RESEARCH FOR FRANK OCEAN RADIO:

Frank ocean has his own radio station.
Blonded Radio was Frank Ocean's Beats 1 radio show that lasted from February to August 2017, with four additional special episodes that aired in November and December 2018. The show was hosted by Ocean, Vegyn, and Roof Access and would air a new single from Ocean every episode.
The premiere episode of “blonded Radio” took the music world by surprise on February 24, when it introduced the world to Calvin Harris’ “Slide,” which features Ocean and Migos, and is obviously one of the more star-studded tracks of 2017 thus far. On top of this, he presented a two-part interview with hip-hop icon and modern-day business mogul Jay-Z, where Ocean talked about how the twenty-first-century pop station bases its playlists on what is more appealing to the norm rather than the music that sounds best.
A couple of weeks passed following the debut show when a friend of mine texted me, saying that there was a new Frank Ocean release coming that night; her source was one of those “Hip Hop Facts” pages, the kind of accounts that pretty much BS their way around Facebook timelines to receive attention as they feed off the gullibility of social media users.

Researching frank ocean wasnt hard. considering i am such a fan of frank ocean i understood the vibes he gave off. however i listened to many broadcasts of frank ocean to understand how he reaches to the audience. from then i fully understood how to create and promote the album BLOND.

To evaluate, the radio broadcast sounds  professional. its clear simple and . my main aim was to make it seem frank ocean dproduced  it himself. personally i belived i succeded that aim. i got numerous amount of feedback and people like it. My main aim was to make sure it wasnt what i liked, but what the audience liked. to improve i belive i need probably more information. more in depth about frank ocean himself and about the album, considering i am promoting the album i need to talk about it more.

My target audience was found via doing research. Most people said that it’s 18- 35 years olds who are heavily involved in social media and things like tumblr. Considering I am a tumblr user I knew exactly how to design my advertorial and poster. It had to seem alternative , different , unique and that’s always the vision of frank ocean. And I fully understood what his perception is.

I have luckily listened to it already, it’s simply art. Its magic was that it contained puzzles, both in its production and lyrical content – a lead vocal line that had been obscured would suddenly step forward from the shadows, three-quarters of the way through a song. As fans and critics gave it more of their time, a consensus began to emerge that it was Ocean’s greatest work. By December, Time, the Atlantic and Vulture had all declared it the record of the year. It’s hard to think of another record so rewarding to those willing to give it the time.

 

When you listen to Blonde, it’s undeniably one of the most baffling, contrary and intriguing records put out by a major pop star – not just this year, but any year. Identifiable bangers of the kind Ocean has rattled off either for others or himself – most consistently on his 2011 mixtape Nostalgia Ultra – are conspicuous by their absence. The tone is muted and introspective, full of spectral guitar and lacking not just hefty beats but any kind of percussion at all. (More than half of the 17 tracks here are without drums.) The lyrics are elliptical and fragmented, touching on adolescence and consumerism, identity and eroticism, yet lacking the sturdy narratives found on, say, Pyramids or Swim Good.

 

I can’t wait for your guys feedback on it, once again / its blonded radio/ peace out.
