Frank Ocean has posted a preview of a new song.

The “Chanel” hitmaker used Instagram Story to share the clip of a new track.


Since his acclaimed 2016 LP Blonde, he’s had a slew of singles, including “DHL,” “In My Room,” “Cayendo” and “Dear April.”

Ocean has also aired unreleased music on his Apple Music 1 “Blonded Radio” show. However, fans are still waiting for new material.


During his Coachella set earlier this year, the music star confirmed a new album is on the way.

Upon returning to the stage after six years at the world-famous festival in April, he teased: “I wanna talk about why we’re here … because it’s not about the new album … not that there’s NOT a new album.”

Excited fans waited over an hour for the star to take to the stage just after 11 p.m., despite his scheduled stage time of 10:05 p.m.

The 36-year-old star had previously made it known that he would release new music as one-off singles instead of album form, but he seemingly had a change of heart as he teased a new record on a poster for his merchandise.

The print noted that a “fictitious recording artist” (seemingly Ocean) preferred “the singles distribution model as opposed to the long-form album model,” as it was “more suited to modern consumption habits.”

The teaser came with the admission: “The Recording Artist has since changed his mind about the singles model, and is again interested in more durational bodies of work.”

The “Swim Good” hitmaker is no longer signed to a label, after splitting from Def Jam Recordings before the release of Blonde.
