Frank Ocean has finally released his official, oft-delayed sophomore album!
Following the visual album Endless and a video for “Nikes” the singer-songwriter has delivered Blonde, the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2012’s channel ORANGE. Previously expected to be titled Boys Don’t Cry, the project hit Apple Music early Saturday evening.
The 17-track album features contributions from music’s biggest names including Beyoncé, André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Jazmine Sullivan, and more.
The cover art shows a shirtless Ocean with a hand over his face, sporting green hair and a bandaged finger. The title is spelled ‘blond’ on the cover, and listed as ‘Blonde’ across iTunes.
Stream the album via Apple Music below, and pick it up on iTunes now.
