The majority of Nikes sees Frank’s voice distorted over minimalist beats, before his clear voice rips through the noise around the halfway mark – elevating the track into something quite excellent. It’s rumored that more music is coming our way, so Boys Don’t Cry might still be in the works. The visual album, entitled Endless, already seems like yet another masterpiece by Ocean, but apparently, this isn’t even the album we’ve aall been waiting for years to hear.
Singer Frank Ocean dropped his new studio album last night – are we classing it as his second or third album? – titled Blond and we’ve not stopped listening to it all day. “Which is basically every one of y’all”, Ocean wrote on his official Tumblr blog.
As well as having the album inside the magazine, it also featured high-fashion photos, poems written by Ocean, some short stories, an outline for a television show and interviews with Lil’ B and Om’Mas Keith.
“Endless” is available for streaming exclusively on Apple Music, and includes 18 songs, The New York Times reported.
Twitter went wild after the album’s release late Thursday, with users tweeting about the New Orleans native roughly 100 times per minute, according to social media analytics firm Zoomph. Fans who visited the pop-up shops, which blared Ocean’s music over the Sonos speakers, were given a free copy of Boys Don’t Cry, which contained a CD copy of Blonde within.
Ocean has been teasing information about his next album on his website boysdontcry.co, but representatives from Universal Music Group and Apple Music didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
