Acclaimed for its non-conformist song construction and bravura psychedelic blend of soul, jazz and electro, it none the less packed a pop punch this follow-up album conspicuously lacks.Р”Р‡our years in the making, released under two names (Blond on a free limited edition CD given away in pop-up stores and Blonde on Apple Music stream) with two different track sequences (and thatРІР‚в„ўs without counting the 18 tracks of offcuts released last Friday as arty black and white long form video Endless), OceanРІР‚в„ўs second album is so laden with quirkiness you may end up wishing he was a little less prodigiously talented and a little more focussed.Р”Р‡rom the narcoleptic disorientation of dreamy opening track Nikes, to the whimsy of Pink + White (with ecstatically wordless harmonies from BeyoncР“В©), via the shimmering downbeat acoustica of Ivy, Blonde makes for sensationally beautiful background music that can morph into a bizarre hodgepodge of disparate ideas when you concentrate on bringing it into the foreground.Р’В OceanРІР‚в„ўs languid, seductive singing (playfully reshaped with Varispeed and Autotune effects) and the luxurious breadth of his harmonic gifts can sometimes distract from just how experimentally convoluted his sense of song construction really is. Endless is a visual album by American singer Frank Ocean.Released on August 19, 2016, Endless was Oceans last release with the record label Def Jam Recordings to fulfill his recording contract.

Frank Ocean writes and delivers in a way that makes peculiar sense to those of us inheriting a world.

The allure of famous associates drew attention to his shapeshifting debut album, Channel Orange, which reached number 2 in the US and UK in 2012 and topped many critical lists. For an album that is at times intentionally difficult to follow - for all its vague and indistinct meanderings between subjects, between minds and bodies, between place and time, Blonde remains a highly accessible album - and not just sonically. Frank Ocean followed up the Thursday release of his visual project Endless with Blonde, the album formally known as Boys Dont Cry and the one that fans have been waiting for since the 28-year-old.
