Ambience 001 (A Certain Way)

Frank Ocean

“Ambience 001: ‘In a Certain Way’” is the sixth track from Frank Ocean’s 2016 visual album Endless. The interlude samples music from the 1977 song “I Think I Am in Love With You” by Wee, the dreamy soul group from Columbus, Ohio, led by Norman Whiteside.



“A Certain Way” features an excerpt of dialogue by the legendary American drag queen Crystal LaBeija from the 1968 documentary The Queen. The film captures the journey of drag queens competing in the Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest held at New York City’s Town Hall on February 13, 1967. LaBeija would later co-found the Royal House of LaBeija in 1972, which continues to be a pioneering force in LGBTQ+ ballroom culture.
