Back sides of the posters from the recent Blonded merch sale tell a narrative that’s as close to an album announcement as we’ll ever get from Frank Ocean.
Ryan Breaux was an incredibly kind and thoughtful person. He reached out to us on more than one occasion just to chat. He will be sorely missed.
Keep the Breaux family in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn this amazing young man.
💛 Rest In Peace, Ryan.
Frank Ocean has shared a few words about Virgil Abloh on his Instagram Story.
An early mix of "Provider" (July 9th, 2017).
The track would be released with blonded 007 on August 28th.
On August 20, 2016, Frank Ocean released ‘Blonde.’ The album turns 5 today.
It's a good day to put on some Frank Ocean and go for a walk in the sunshine. Don't you think?
Coachella very much knows what they are doing here. Props to the social media manager.

I understand not wanting to go through with an elaborate set dressing involving ice when you have a sprained ankle and multiple leg fractures, but I don’t think Frank Ocean’s audience should accept a full cancelation as the only plausible alternative.

Frank's set feels very improvised. Love the stripped back instrumentation and new arrangements.
Eternal thanks to IG:morgandoesntcare for the visuals.
I think about what it must have been like for anyone in the studio for this track about 30 times a year. twitter.com/blondedocean/s

A music video for an unreleased Frank Ocean song was shot in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon. We'll share more when we have it.
"Dear April" acoustic has some real Endless vibes.
"Cayendo" acoustic sounds *very* Blonde.
"Dear April (Justice Remix)" remains a jam.
Replying to
Stills from Endless prior to the black and white post-processing of the film.
Being a Frank Ocean archivist means 7 months of absolutely nothing to do and then suddenly multiple articles, archive and social media updates, and hours of Reddit moderation. 🥴
The first thing we noticed was that the number of silhouettes has increased from 13 to 17. On the "In My Room" artwork, the icon for "DHL" has moved to the top of the order and 4 new ones have been added.
We get that expectations for Frank's return to the stage were high, but this was brutal.
Kudos to Drake for keeping his energy up despite getting almost nothing back from the crowd. twitter.com/jacobtender/st

The photos on blonded.co have changed for the "Cayendo" and "Dear April" releases.
Whereas before the labels said "Studio," they now say "Acoustic."
Forget "Happy Birthday." Wash your hands while singing "Ivy" instead.

“In My Room” single has a Benny Revival Remix on side B.

Here is a GoFundMe in memory of Ezekial Bishop, Ryan’s friend who also passed away in a car accident earlier this week.
We’re absolutely heartbroken for both families.
As of now, neither Björk or Frank's sets are on the livestream schedule.
We'll update if we learn more.
Good news, ya'll. There's an update to 'Undocumented, RARE.' coming soon.
Out of nowhere, "Dear April" has appeared on Spotify.
The album art is different and the track is titled "Dear April (Side A - Acoustic)"

This is a big day.
Happy New Year, everybody. We feel optimistic about 2022. Be safe out there.

Seeing Jai Paul rise to the occasion during weekend 2 of Coachella has made the pain of Frank’s dropping out much easier to bear.
It’s clear he was really enjoying the opportunity and the crowd ate it up. I envy those that got tickets to the NYC/London shows.
If you haven't yet and can, PLEASE VOTE! It's so important to vote not for the perfect candidate but for which ticket gets us closer to the future you want. Voting is doing your part for your family and community, not a political candidate's career. VOTE!

Sure, it stinks to nix the original plan, but that’s yesterday's news. Professionals find a way to make it work. The show must go on!
Cast your leg, grab a stool or a comfy spot on the stage floor, and play some songs with your band.
The audience will love it.

Like you took these strangers
And our two strange lives
And made us new
And took us through it
And woke us up
Looks like a double header of blonded radio tonight.
First episode is wrapping up now. Second at 8:05 PM EST on Apple Music. music.apple.com/us/curator/blo
There are reportedly digital download cards included in the packaging. More when we know it.
It takes a mind to worry
A conscience to feel ashamed
But there's no place to hide out here
These skies are filled with planes

Frank's cover of SZA's "The Weekend" got a spin at the PrEP+ party last night. It's not clear who played it.
Word is had a surprise set at some point during the evening.

From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year. If you’re looking for something to keep you company on a long drive or help you turn up a workout, I hope there’s a track or two in here that does the trick.
Congrats, T. Well deserved.
