Dear Mr. Ocean...

I just have one question: When are you dropping an album? In all of my time of being a music-head (about 24 years, to be exact), I don't think that I've ever seen an artist release/ leak so much music for free. And not just music, but hits. Flawlessly produced, relatable, witty tracks...FOR FREE....some even accompanied by music videos.

I mean...I understand that you wanted to create a buzz, but you're WAY past that now. People know who you are. We get it.

And by no means am I complaining, but I just need an album. I like bodies of work. Tracklists. Plastic CD cases filled with booklets. I like the pictures that separate the credits that were written in the smallest font ever. I like to see which songs you sample, who produces what, and which record label allowed their artist to be featured on your masterpiece. I don't know why I like to know which city the studios that people use are located in, but I think it's worthy information. I even like to read the Thanks Yous at the end (just in case you happen to thank somebody who has the same name as me.)

Plus, in my mind, if you have an album, you'll have a tour. And that's really all a music-head dreams for. To see live talent. To hear the instrumentation amplified so much that you can literally feel it in your chest.

Oh. And you can get paid for all that stuff.

Sincerely,
Leslie

P.S - Thanks for this "Best Seller" track.
