Frank Ocean's Pyramids is a neon-lit blockbuster epic that manages to nail the complex interplay of fantasy and reality in a sexual relationship. Read all about how the track helped define the decade
two-part “Pyramids” on June 8, 2012, it was his second announcement of the day; earlier that Friday, he revealed that his debut album, “Pyramids is a ten minute long single. I trolled the music industry.” The song is a neon-lit blockbuster epic that manages to nail the complex interplay of fantasy and reality in a sexual relationship.
For Frank Ocean and producer-songwriter Malay, the two parts of “Pyramids” emerged quickly and it was clear that they wanted to fuse them -- that’s when it became a problem. Speaking with, Malay explained that for the song’s first half -- the ancient-history portion, with Cleopatra and the loosed cheetahs -- Ocean was intensely meticulous, recording vocal takes for 30 days at a home he had rented in Los Angeles.
Once Frank found the right voice, Malay saw their predicament: The first half was now in a different key than the second. “I remember that being a crazy challenge to make that transition from one key to the next,” Malay said, sounding like Beatles’ producer George Martin tackling John Lennon’s challenge to fuse two songs toof “Strawberry Fields Forever.
