"Little Demon" is a song by American singer Frank Ocean featuring vocals by British rapper Skepta. The song was intended to be sold as a 7-inch single in November 2019, but plans were scrapped in February 2020. The song was remixed by Venezuelan record producer Arca and previewed on Blonded Radio. [1] The song has yet to be released digitally.
"Little Demon" is the first collaboration between Ocean and Skepta. [2] In November 2018, Ocean initially teased "Little Demon" by sharing a snippet of the song on Instagram. [3] In October 2019, Ocean resumed his Blonded Radio show on Beats 1 and began a series of queer-themed club nights entitled PReP+. He released the single " DHL" and sold the upcoming songs "Cayendo" and "Dear April" as 7-inch vinyl singles. [4] On October 30, 2019, Ocean announced that his third PReP+ party would take place on Halloween and would be hosted by Venezuelan record producer Arca. [5] During the party, Ocean and Arca debuted a new song featuring British rapper Skepta. [6] The following day, Ocean released his follow-up single " In My Room" which was also sold on vinyl. [7] The Skepta-featured song was then previewed as "Little Demon" on the ninth edition of Blonded Radio and sold as a 7-inch single. [1]
In November 2019, Ocean put up "Little Demon" on sale as a 7-inch single. [1] In February 2020, Ocean's website Blonded.co sent out an email that stated that the release of "Little Demon" on vinyl was canceled. [8] The vinyl was planned to be replaced with "a new, unreleased Frank Ocean song" instead. [8] However, this ended up getting canceled as well. [9]
Michael Saponara, writing for Billboard, described the song as melancholic. [2]
