Here Are the Full Credits from Frank Ocean’s ‘Endless’


Stills via Endless on Apple Music

Last night, Frank Ocean released a 45-minute visual album on Apple Music called Endless. It shows him building a spiral staircase, and in the background there’s an 18-track album. Both visually and musically, it’s quite an undertaking, and it involved a huge team beyond Frank himself, including filmmaker Francisco Soriano as director of photography and a cast of musicians like Jazmine Sullivan, Sampha, Alex G, James Blake, and Arca. The full list of credits scrolls by at the end of the video, along with some cool Endless graphics. Since they’re kind of hard to read, and we are masochists, we’ve written the whole thing out for you below.
