Recording Involved Writing Contributions From Justin Vernon And Singer Frank Ocean The Latter Described By Blake As "a Huge Inspiration For This Record." Regarding Kanye West's Absence From The Project Blake Clarified That "I Wanted Kanye To Be On The Song Timeless But The Verse Didn’t Materialize. I Think A Huge Swath Of Things Happened In His Life And I Just Stayed Out Of It." During This Period Blake Also Worked With Singer Beyoncé On Her 2016 Album Lemonade Contributing To Two Tracks. Blake Reportedly "explored Sitting At The Piano And Singing A Lot More" During The Album's Conception And Developed A Desire "to Work With Other People On My Own Projects" In An Attempt To Relinquish Some Control Over His Own Work. Discussing The Tone Of The Album In Contrast To His Previous Work He Stated That "I Realized That It Wasn't Important Whether I Was Happy Or Sad—it's About Sensitivity And Your Reaction To The World. I Wouldn't Want To Be One Of Those Artists That Keeps Themselves In A Perpetual Cycle Of Anxiety And Depression Just To Extract Music From That."
