The album has been released with an accompanying glossy magazine, Boys Don’t Cry, available from a pop-up shop on London’s Charlotte Street, as well as locations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

The full list of credits appears in Boys Don’t Cry, with both Brian Eno and David Bowie’s names mentioned.
The mysterious musician has kept fans waiting for a follow-up to his Grammy-winning 2012 debut album Channel Orange, but listeners no longer have to cool their heels for his new songs.
The “Boys Don’t Cry” title was not discarded, however. Just a few days ago, the 28-year-old singer released his visual album, Endless. It’s surprisingly my favorite part of life so far. Maybe that part had its rough stretches too, but in my rearview mirror it’s getting small enough to convince myself it was all good. Thank you all. Especially to those who have always remembered that I had something to finish.
After fits and starts, rumors and innuendo, Frank Ocean finally released his sophomore album on Saturday night. Which is basically every one of ya’ll.
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. Last week Britney Spears announced that her new album “Glory” would be released via Apple later this month.
The rapper unveiled on Sunday his new album of 17 tracks, entitled Blonde. If you listen closely you can hear Beyonce singing in the background of Pink + White and Andre 3000 rapping on Solo (Reprise).
