Little Demon - 7" Vinyl Single Tracklist
“Little Demon” was one of multiple 7-inch singles released by Frank Ocean in late 2019, following his PrEP+ club night events in New York City.
The single first surfaced at Ocean’s third PrEP+ club night on October 31, 2019, where Arca performed the B-side remix featuring the rapper Skepta to a small audience of clubgoers.
On November 3, Ocean premiered the remix on episode 009 of blonded RADIO, his internet radio show on Beats 1 (now Apple Music 1), and a pre-order for the 7-inch vinyl launched on blonded.co.
On February 26, 2020, fans who ordered the vinyl were informed instead of receiving the “Little Demon” single as expected, the 7-inch release will feature “a new, unreleased Frank Ocean song” (presumably “These Days”). Unfortunately, the anticipated replacement never materialized. On December 3, blonded announced they would not release the vinyl due to the unforeseen events of 2020 and issued refunds for the remaining orders.
