I'm sure he'll be back someday

I could be wrong, but I think the E6 from “She” is Frank Ocean.

C6 ("Ivy")

Are you sure this needs to be bold? It's pretty brief and honestly doesn't sound very good.

Also, I'm still waiting on a reply about the E6 from She. Tyler the Creator and Frank Ocean are the only ones credited with vocals on that song, and I'm about 99% sure that's not Tyler.

[Electric Mami]

On Tyler, the Creator's thread, the "She" E6 isn't even listed as a questionable note, implying Sylvia's certainty that it indeed isn't Tyler

I know for a fact it's not Tyler, however Frank's falsetto is historically a lot weightier than that and it's kind of too random for me to believe that it's an actual sung part of that song, so I'm leaning more to the side that it's probably just a sample Tyler decided to add in.
