Short intro

Blonde alternatively titled blond is the second studio album by American singer Frank Ocean. In 2013, Ocean confirmed that his follow up to Channel Orange would be another concept album. Initially known as Boys Don't Cry and teased for a July 2015 release, the album suffered several delays and was the subject of widespread media anticipation. Blonde is the second studio album by the enigmatic Frank Ocean. The album was released on August 20, 2016, following a four-year hiatus after the release of channel ORANGE.

As enigmatic as its author, Blonde is a daring set of ambient post-R&B that slips into your bloodstream. Though its rich in luxurious wordplay and melody, Ocean favors impressionism here, from the mood-altering moves of Nights to the velveteen drift of White Ferrari. The result is oblique yet surprisingly emotional and intimate-a tour de force that sneaks up on you. Frank Ocean - Blonde. Frank Ocean - Boys Don't Cry out 5-8-2016. August 23, 2016 . Review: Frank Oceans Blonde Is a Dizzy, Trippy, Druggy Marvel. Our take on R&B singers long-awaited second album. Jonah Weiner. Frank Ocean's 'Blonde' was released over the weekend. Kevin ScanlonThe New York TimesRedux. Even before Frank Ocean fell quiet for the better part of four years, leaving a legion of fans to wonder when - if - hed ever muster a follow-up to his stunning 2012 debut, Channel Orange, the New Orleans-born pop savant was one of musics most elusive figures. He made his name, after all, by dodging tidy categorization, confounding expectation and disobeying prevailing rules of genre and sexuality. Frank Ocean Blonde. R&B crooner returns with avant-garde minimalism and understated depth. by Nina Corcoran. No one imagined Frank Ocean would return after four years of silence with an album of minimalist, avant-garde R&B, yet here we are, Blonde in hand. Then again, no one could predict what he would return with, or if he would return at all. After the release of Grammy-winning Channel ORANGE and 2011s Nostalgia, Ultra, Ocean was flooded with fame, a level of attention he avoided: dodging press, turning down guest verses, deleting his Twitter. At first, Frank Ocean was simply a great storyteller. Then he became the story-an avatar for all of our fluid modern ideals. He could be the dynamic human of the future, exploding age-old binaries with an eloquent note, melting racial divisions with a devastating turn of phrase or quick flit to falsetto. On its surface, Blonde seems tremendously insular. Whereas Channel Orange showed off an expansive eclecticism, this album contracts at nearly every turn. Its spareness suggests a person in a small apartment with only a keyboard and a guitar and thoughts for company. But it isnt just anyone emoting from the abyss, its Frank Ocean.
