Though July ended with no further word from the singer, he added a mysterious, Apple Music-hosted video to his site this month. But speculation about what was previously known as Boys Don't Cry ramped up in early July, when Ocean posted an image to his website depicting a library due date slip that some interpreted as portending he'd release the album by the end of the month. No other details about the second Ocean album are immediately available. The visual album debuted on the live-stream Ocean began earlier in August. Songs on Endless include Ocean's cover of the Isley Brothers' "At Your Best (You Are Love)," which the reclusive R&B star released to his Tumblr page in 2015 on what would have been Aaliyah's 36th birthday. The visual album includes 18 songs (including interludes), and features appearances from James Blake and Radiohead guitarist and composer Jonny Greenwood. According to the New York Times, that album will still arrive on Apple Music this weekend, albeit with a possible new title. Endless is Ocean's first album since the 2012 opus Channel Orange, but is not the long discussed Boys Don't Cry. I need it.Frank Ocean finally released new music early Friday, dropping the visual album Endless via Apple Music after months of speculation. And we know we’re not entitled to your music. Ocean could decide to put off the release beyond Friday.” The New York Times, even with its anonymous source, has its reservations: “Given the number of delays the album has already had, it seems possible that Mr. Maybe you were just mistaken and this is the real deal. What the fuck, Frank?Īnd now the New York Times comes up with a date and a deal with Apple Music. I couldn’t even watch it on Chrome with a Lenovo I had to stream a stream of it from RapGenius. Is this a metaphor for something? Is this just a weird loop to keep us from going insane? Because it’s making me insane. You had this very moving piece about Prince last April. For the month of July alone you have been a headline once or twice or ten times.Īnd then you had this weird livestream of coughing and ambient noises then suddenly you were chopping wood or something. Was that even real? I wanted to believe it was real.
I saw snippets of your private listening party earlier this year. We had a glimpse of you as part of a Calvin Klein campaign. After countless, highly-anticipated countdowns to the release of your album, Boys Don’t Cry (and your magazine of the same name) of which I have eagerly participated, each time more anxious than excited, I am almost giving up.
