The Wait is Over! Frank Ocean released his second studio album titled “Blonde”

Frank Ocean has been playing hide and seek for the past four years after the release of his first studio album “Channel Orange” back in 2012. It is safe to say that playing games with Frank Ocean is finally over. On Friday August 19th Ocean dropped a 45 minute visual (endless) in the middle of the night, on a Beyoncé Lemonade type of release. The music video featured him playing the piano for the duration of the time. Fans were pleased with that, but they had no idea what Frank had up his sleeve.
Two days after the visual release, Blonde arrived. “Blonde” holds significance to his fans around the world due to the fact that Ocean waited four years to release an album. What was initially supposed to be entitled “Boys Don’t Cry” was set to release in early April but it never did. Twitter went bad on Frank periodically. With the release of “Blonde” the 28-year-old singer/song writer has kept busy these previous 7 months of the year. He assisted artist in creating their own albums such as artist like James Blake , Chance the rapper , and Kanye West. Yes “Blonde” has the potential to be a “Classic” but Frank Ocean wasn’t the only one releasing music this month. Artists such as Tory Lanez, PartyNextDoor & Young Thug dropped projects that are taking the music industry by storm.
The New Orleans native created a centric sound for songs like “Solo”, “Close to You”, and “Nikes”. His team consisted of artist like Kanye West, Tyler The Creator, Ommas Keith, and Pharrell. The 17-song track list comes fully loaded featuring some artist that may surprise you. Artist such as Andre 3000 delivered a verse for Ocean. This particular album shows the changes and growth between “Channel Orange” and present time. The wait is finally over and according to the trending twitter, “Blonde” sold more than $276,000 copies. This included streaming too. The hour long album captivates its audience through smooth symphonies and
relatable lyrics. Fan favorites may include “Pink + White”, “Good Guy”, and “Pretty Sweet”. As an addition to the album, and visual album, Ocean released two pop-up stores and a magazine. Let’s just hope that his next project doesn’t take as long to release as “Blonde” did!
