"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. The album was released both physically, in magazines given away in pop-up stores around the country, and digitally on iTunes".
Upon its release, the album was met with critical acclaim. Blonde debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and sold 276,000 album-equivalent units.
An album weâll be listening to and talking about for years. As enigmatic as its author, Blonde is a daring set of ambient post-R&B that slips into your bloodstream. Though itâs rich in luxurious wordplay and melody, Ocean favors impressionism here, from the mood-altering moves of âNightsâ to the velveteen drift of âWhite Ferrari.â The result is oblique yet surprisingly emotional and intimateâa tour de force that sneaks up on you.
