Retro Release: Frank Ocean – Blonde | 9th Anniversary TodayRetro Release: 9 years ago today—on August 20, 2016—Frank Ocean released Blonde, self-issued under his Boys Don’t Cry imprint as the follow-up to channel ORANGE.
A daring, intimate record that blends alternative R&B, art-pop and atmospheric electronics, Blonde features close collaborators and guest producers including Malay, Om’Mas Keith, Jon Brion, James Blake, Pharrell Williams, and Rostam—with contributions from Beyoncé and others across the album.
Flowing between hushed minimalism and sweeping arrangements—hear it on the hazy opener “Nikes,” the aching guitar of “Ivy,” and the seismic beat-switch of “Nights.”
Blonde debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, moving roughly 276,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, and was later certified Platinum—an independent commercial and cultural milestone for Ocean.
