Released on August 20, 2016 via Boys Don't Cry: Following years of label drama and a period of writer’s block, Frank Ocean released his sophomore album Blonde independently.
Unlike his first studio album channel Orange, which redefined modern R&B within radio-friendly club groove, Blonde shows growth in a more abstract, loose sophomore effort. The surprise release features beatless production, pitched vocals, and a hazy, lo-fi ambience. Widely regarded as one of the defining albums of the 2010s and the 21st century, Blonde still has the melancholic elusiveness that Ocean is known for, as it tackles romance, masculinity, trauma, and nostalgia.
The album includes one single “Nikes” and standout tracks like “Solo”, “Close to You”, “Seigfried”, and the album closer “Futura Free”, which ends with interviews with Ocean’s loved ones. Blonde features collaborators such as Tyler the Creator, Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, and Ye.
Named by Pitchfork as the best album of the 2010s, you’ll treasure this vinyl record for decades to come.
