Fulfilling its promise of bringing even more exclusives to its music streaming service, Apple Music has exclusively released Frank Ocean’s new visual album Endless. The video is also a tribute to the late A$AP Yams, Pimp C, and Trayvon Martin, whom Ocean says “looked just like me”.

After much anticipation, influential R&B artist Frank Ocean has made waves with the unveiling of “Endless”, a new visual album, his first in four years. Instead, the visual album is one 45-minute film with all 18 tracks featuring within the film.
Endless features an array of diverse musicians, including Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, James Blake, Jazmine Sullivan, British R&B vocalist Sampha and producer Arca. He appeared on two songs from Jay Z and Kanye West’s collaborative album, “Watch the Throne”.
Ocean, 28, previously promised that the long-awaited album would drop in July 2015 under the name of “Boys Don’t Cry” in a Tumblr post in April 2015.
The clip comes (hopefully) as a precursor to Frank’s long-waited studio album, which Rolling Stone has reported will arrive sometime this weekend.

After more delays than the Elio Three Wheeler and the mid-engine Corvette put together, singer and obsessive auto nerd Frank Ocean is finally-finally!-back with some new music. Prior to his debut album’s release in 2012, Ocean publicly revealed his first love was a man, an unheard of move at the time for a hip-hop artist.
