Called Endless, it's a 45 minute music video and the precursor to his proper sophomore record. The experimental R&B project, available only on Apple Music, features a variety of guests including Radiohead lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, James Blake and Jazmine Sullivan. The music is set to a black-and-white video of Ocean building a spiral staircase in a warehouse.
His proper follow-up to the Grammy-winning 2012 debut Channel Orange will come out this weekend, according to Rolling Stone. While previously called Boys Don't Cry, it will have a different title. We'll believe it when we hear it, though, as he's promised it many times over the last two years.
