Frank Ocean Blonde Released And You Can Hear It Now
His 18-track visual album Endless features collaborations with musicians such as James Blake, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood and Jazmine Sullivan, and the London Contemporary Orchestra provides much of the attractive background tunes thanks to its cello, violin, double bass and viola players.
Called Blonde, the follow-up to 2012’s Channel Orange ends four long years of anticipation for fans after repeated delays and red herrings. After releasing Endless, his new visual album, Ocean has dropped two versions of his official new studio album, Blonde.
Boys and girls, don’t cry: Frank Ocean’s long-awaited new album is finally, officially here.
The move follows the surprise release of visual album “Endless” during the week, with new single “Nike” following hot on its heels.
The album also comes with a special publication of the project that fans have been waiting to read: Boys Don’t Cry.
After almost four years of silence, Frank Ocean is back and full of surprises. It was initially believed to be called Boys Don’t Cry.
“Blonde” has 17 tracks and an impressive list of contributors.
In Manhattan fans lined up for more than a block at Mulberry Iconic Magazines – a convenience store that sells beer and sandwiches as well as magazines – for a chance to get hold of the album, The New York Times reported. “Which is basically every one of y’all”, Ocean wrote on his official Tumblr blog.
Singer Frank Ocean’s highly anticipated second album Blonde is now available for purchase. Ocean gives sample credits to countless artists from David Bowie, James Blake, Jazmine Sullivan, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and so much more.
