Frank Ocean dropped a new song yesterday and it needs a lot of love! He also released a remix featuring Travis Scott—seems like a lot of his new songs have remixes right away! Think he’ll drop a project with originals and remixes??

Justin Bieber’s remix of Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” is majorly blowing up on the site. There’s some Spanish crossover here—how do you think we should be annotating this page?

Lana Del Rey’s new track featuring The Weeknd shares the name of her forthcoming album, so it must have some key themes! Some of these tates are pretty bulky, can we chop ‘em or nah? We also did a news video for the song which has a lot of cool info in it.

Charlie Puth came out with a new song called “Attention” this past week—do these lines need to be annotated, or are they too unspecific? Can we connect them with real-world context?

Wow, it was a big week for pop! Paramore released a new song too, which seems to deal with the emotional turmoil surrounding members of the band leaving in recent years. Is there room to tighten up these tates?

Shawn Mendes also dropped a new song—looks like the bridge is improperly formatted @transcribers? How far can we take this track editorially?

Fixed up the bridge on Shawn. It was right at one point, I remember correcting lyrics on it.

dope, thanks @killersnowtiger!

I’ll try to do some annotating on that Frank when I get home. Some of those annotations are looking trash or workable so I need eds to hop on it too.

@transcribers

Is it just me or is Frank purposely toying with the pronouns in the first verse? “My girl made him wait” or is he speaking of his girl cheating on him or him cheating on a guy or what? The perspective is confusing but he’s definitely talking about a relationship were someone wasn’t faithful.

@Liiight He was with his girl before meeting up with his male lover

All I’ve ever wanted to be known as is a Playboi Carti SCHOLAR :‘)

Also, expect new Frank- a remix of Slide on Me featuring Young Thug dropped this morning and blonded RADIO is scheduled for 5-7 and 9-11 PST tonight!!!!

@KanyeFresh
Yea I kinda got that. The first line was just weird … He’s telling his make lover that she’s the reason he had to wait on Frank.

@Liiight notice how Chanel started with “My Guy” and lens starts with “My Girl” :)))

@Empath Regarding “Attention”, those lyrics really seem to be quite unspecific, I can’t think of any way to connect them to real life situations, there are a bunch of baseless reports of his alleged relationships but nothing concrete/confirmed, Charlie tends to keep his personal life personal… therefore it’s probably better left not-annotated imo… That’s why I originally locked the page but then unlocked it for transcription improvements (as per request).
