You know, this is actually a ridiculously good way to send a message to a company. He felt neglected by a record label, so he made a deal with them to release a new album, released an album that is locked behind either a really long visual livestream or Apple Music, got out of the contract, and used the album he just released to point directly to his REAL next album, releasing it independently from that contract. That's creative. Now, Endless is still a GOOD album, but it's clear that he didn't intend it to stand on it's own as his work, instead mostly intending it as a giant advertisement for the project he ACTUALLY wanted to put time into.

Found out about this guy only recently from a really important person to me. I am so blown away by his raw talent, but more so I really respect him for being who he is. He isn’t faking any social media persona, he is proving that YOU are NOT the selling point of your brand, but the work you put out is. I highly respect him and it feels weird barely even knowing him, but the impact this dude has had on so many people just through his music speaks for it self. Frank is and always will be a legend and a true example of how hard work, intuition, talent and doing your own thing pays off.

He's not the first to do a decoy album to get out of a contract though. He was just smart & creative enough to do so and pull it off effortlessly. Classic Scorpio, get accepted at a better job, while enjoying you last days at your old.
