When not touring the world, appearing on national tv, recording his own material, or appearing on songs with his Odd Future pals, Frank Ocean writes for other recording artists.

This is, in fact, how the singer/songwriter got his start, writing songs for pop music giants Justin Bieber and Beyoncé. Despite his recent solo success, he still continues to write for other artists, the most recent being Brandy.

For Brandy, Frank wrote a somber song called “Scared of Beautiful.” We have two versions of the songs for you. Frank’s demo and Brandy’s album version (appearing on Two Eleven). Check them out after the jump.
