Blonde

Released 2016Soul & R&B
Start here

An elliptical, gorgeous album of fragmented memory and feeling, stripped of obvious hooks in favour of mood and texture. Initially elusive, it becomes a favourite. A defining record of the 2010s. Released in 2016, it's one of Frank Ocean's later high points.

On vinyl: A vinyl-revival-era release, so fresh pressings are usually easy to find new.
