Frank Ocean has seen quite the shift since his rise with the popularity of his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape and subsequent world-takeover with Channel Orange. Namely, the shift has gone towards about a year of internet threats in lieu of a 4-year wait for this moment. The moment Frank returns to the music world officially.
Thursday kicked off the new season for the Singer/Songwriter with a visual album titled Endless. This saw Mr. Ocean demonstrating some nifty construction skills and multi-tasking with an onslaught of new music as the movies score. A great gift itself, but it was ultimately placed on a bit of a back-burner with the announcement that another full-length album would be arriving over the weekend.
Fast-forward to now and the official sophomore album Blonde. This 17-track landscape comes flush with contributions from some of the industry’s heaviest hitters. André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, 88-Keys, Rick Rubin, Pharrell, and more all lend a hand to what’s sure to be one of the more ballyhooed releases of the year. Stream via Apple Music below and for those who lack an account get it while you can right here.
