Odd Future‘s Frank Ocean has delivered another album in less than 24 hours. The California crooner unexpectedly dropped his new Blond studio release this weekend.
Ocean’s newest solo offering, previously titled Boys Don’t Cry, arrived Saturday (August 20).

Heading into the weekend, rapper Lil B hinted at his possible appearance on Ocean’s new album.
“Frank Ocean was amazing. He called me to come out and do some stuff for his album, Boys Don’t Cry, that’s coming out. Frank is amazing. He’s a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. He’s a very strong man, a very strong person. Anything that I can do to help him, I will,” B said in an interview. “If Frank releases [Boys Don’t Cry]. Let’s see what Frank releases. Frank has the material.” (Dazed Digital)
New reports claim Ocean may have switched up his album’s title.
Rolling Stone has confirmed that Endless is a different project from his proper new album. That album, set for release by Apple this weekend, was previously called Boys Don’t Cry, but Rolling Stone has learned that the singer has scrapped that title in favor of an alternate title. (Rolling Stone)
Frank’s new Endless album arrived Friday (August 19) after multiple Boys Don’t Cry setbacks.
The long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s channel ORANGE made its debut in a video stream on Frank’s website, BoysDontCry.co, which was accompanied by footage of him building a spiral staircase in a warehouse. The audio can be heard playing in the background over the sound of drills and construction. (Rap-Up)
