Frank Ocean drops new album as an Apple Music-exclusive for the next two weeks
Sunday, August 21, 2016 at 2:05AM Fans of Frank Ocean have been waiting for this day to come. Now, if you’re an Apple Music user, you’ll get a chance to listen to Blond there. The album is spelled out as Blonde on Apple’s music streaming service and it’ll be an exclusive on Apple Music and iTunes for two weeks. The 17-track album features Ocean’s collaboration with some big names in music including Beyoncé, Pharrell, Kanye West, Tyler The Creator, James Blake, Andre 3000, Jamie xx, and Rick Rubin, to name a few.
The album was formerly known as Boys Don’t Cry and was set for an August 5th release but when a The New York Times report detailed the release, Ocean and his team pushed back the release because they supposedly lost the element of surprise with the leak. It might be a better deal for the fans, though, because aside from Blond, Ocean also released a visual album called Endless and a new music video for Nikes, which is the first track off of Blond.
