Is Frank Ocean Coming Out With A New Album?
Frank Ocean may soon be releasing a new album. The R&B singer recently posted a cryptic statement on his Tumblr account and his fans believe that this was his way of confirming his latest project.
Frank Ocean Hints New Album
The "Thinkin Bout You" singer just turned 30 last month and his recent post could indeed suggest that he's about to release a new album.
"I made an album before 30. I just ain't put that [expletive] out -- quotes from an interview I haven't given," wrote Ocean.
However, this is not the first time that the "Swim Good" singer teased his fans with his new music. In 2012, he tweeted that he will be releasing five albums before he turns 30 but the tweet was then deleted. So far, he has only released three.
The "Super Rich Kids" singer also penned an essay where he hinted at what could be in store for him this year and in 2018.
"If you liked two thousand and seventeen then you'll love two thousand and eighteen," wrote Ocean.
Apparently, Ocean is known for releasing his albums at his own pace. After his 2012 debut, Channel Orange, the singer made his fans wait for four long years before releasing two full-length albums, Endless and Blonde, back to back in August 2016.
Frank Ocean's Music Collaborators
This year, Ocean also unveiled his new music, namely, "Chanel," "Biking," "Provider," and "Lens." He also collaborated with Calvin Harris in the Scottish record producer's track, "Slide."
The singer has also worked with Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Amber Coffman, Outkast's Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, James Blake, and more for his Blonde album.
'Endless' Album Cyber Monday Sale
Meanwhile, before the release of his highly anticipated new album, Ocean first reached out to his fans on Monday, Nov. 27, via the popular Cyber Monday sale. The singer sold physical copies of Endless online. Ocean's Endless vinyl costs $35, and those who purchased it will receive it within six to eight weeks.
A CD and DVD bundle for Ocean's surprise album from last year is also available online at $25. Double-sided posters and Endless VHS copies are also available at $30 and $17.99, respectively.
Last year, he launched a one-day Black Friday sale of his Blonde vinyl. On Black Friday last week, he also sold a hoodie. It is unclear whether or not the proceeds from Ocean's sales will be used for an important cause.
