The Frank Ocean waiting game has taken an unexpected turn.
Just days after the release of visual record “Endless”, the 28-year-old singer has dropped a 17-track album, “Blonde”.
Ocean’s forthcoming LP will be his follow-up to Channel Orange, which debuted in 2012 and won a Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album. He’s followed that up with another new full-length album titled Blonde, which is available on iTunes now.
It isn’t just us who feel that way either as Frank’s fans from across the world have praised the singer on his new album release, and it’s pretty much fantastic.

At the pop-up shop, the Guardian reports that the album came packaged with a 360-page magazine titled, Boys Don’t Cry (the presumed name of this album). At the stores fans were given a copy of the Boys Don’t Cry magazine in glossy wrapping, which also contained a CD copy of Blonde.
The visual album is available for streaming exclusively on Apple Music. The album is now available for streaming on Apple Music, and takes the form of a 45-minute black-and-white video of Ocean constructing a spiral staircase in a warehouse. It’s not “Boys Don’t Cry”.

Now, they’ve got a visual album called Endless. Ocean gives sample credits to countless artists from David Bowie, James Blake, Jazmine Sullivan, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and so much more. Thank you all. Especially to those who have always remembered that I had something to finish.
