Watch Frank Ocean's In-Studio Performance of "Nikes"

Frank Ocean shares some in-studio footage of recording "Nikes" on his Tumblr.

Frank Ocean maintains a private life, which is why we rarely see him on social media platforms. Still, the elusive R&B singer keeps his Tumblr updated regularly. In previous posts, he has used his Tumblr to address everything from criticisms of his 2013 Grammy performance to detailing memories of creating Boys Don’t Cry and Blonde. Tonight, he revisits Blonde, an album that turned one in August, by sharing a studio performance of “Nikes” in his latest Tumblr update. Though there isn’t a lot of flash behind it, Frank can easily mesmerize you with his vocals, and he does that here. Check it out above.
