Frank Ocean has finally released a visual stream for his new Endless album, and it is a precursor to his official Channel Orange follow-up. Ocean is understandably using the visual stream as a platform to promote his new tunes since there has been so much outcry over the delay of his follow-up album.
Rolling Stone confirmed that Ocean's Endless stream is not the new album, but an entirely different project. The publication additionally confirmed that he has decided to forgo the name Boys Don’t Cry for the new album in favor of another title. The visual stream was initially found at boysdontcry.co this past Thursday (Aug. 18).
His new visual stream features the likes of Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, James Blake, Jazmine Sullivan, Sampha and Arca. The album implemented the use of violins, double basses, violas and cellos taken from the London Contemporary Orchestra and was conducted by Robert Ames.
This is not the first time that Apple has released Ocean playlists prior to his upcoming LPs, and these include The Rise of Frank Ocean, Frank Ocean Samples and Frank Ocean’s Most Shazamed Tracks.
There has been much speculation as to when Boys Don’t Cry is actually coming out, but Lil B recently confirmed that the album does exist, and that he worked with Ocean on material for it.
“Frank Ocean was amazing,” he said to Dazed. “He called me to come out and do some stuff for his album, Boys Don’t Cry, that’s coming out. Frank is amazing. He’s a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. He’s a very strong man, a very strong person. Anything that I can do to help him, I will.”
He further said, “If Frank releases. Let’s see what Frank releases. Frank has the material.”
