Fans have been eagerly awaiting a sophomore album from Ocean for the past four years.
Ocean had said the original name for his second album would be “Boys Don’t Cry”.
Described as a moody and introspective soul album where Ocean’s voice is often distorted, Blonde’s list of collaborators includes Andre 3000, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, Arca, Fish, Gang of Four, David Bowie and the Beatles.
Over the course of just a few days, the R&B artist dropped a visual album called Endless Thursday, then followed that up Saturday with a music video titled “Nikes” and, later in the day, started selling an LP named “Blonde“, Time magazine reported.
Ocean’s visual album has 12 songs and interludes and is 45-minutes long.
“Blonde” is available on iTunes and is now streaming on Apple Music.

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 handsome background tunes thanks to its cello, violin, double bass and viola players.
