Frank Ocean revealed new music in the latest episode of his Blonded Radio Apple Music 1 radio show on Sunday (10th July) — the same day that his album Channel Orange celebrated its 10th anniversary.
The first episode, titled ‘Blonded Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’, was a conversation with Dr. James Fadiman about microdosing psychedelics. It features what’s described in a press release as “a thirty-five-minute original score produced by Frank Ocean.”
The second episode, called ‘blonded ENERGY!’, is an extended conversation with Mingtong Gu, who is a teacher of the Chinese practice of Qigong. That was also presented alongside some new Ocean music, which, towards the end, sped up a bit and ended with a captivating guitar solo. You can listen to the two episodes, here.
New merch was also added to the musician’s online store, including Blonded Radio tees and a Channel Orange poster. Last December, Ocean shared an almost-nine-minute song on the programme, as part of the Christmas special. The episode also featured a conversation with Dutch motivational speaker and athlete Wim “The Iceman” Hof.
Ocean’s Channel Orange arrived in 2012, followed by his sophomore album Blonde in 2016. The artist has shared a few singles since then, including ‘DHL’ and ‘In My Room’. He also released ‘Cayendo’ and ‘Dear April’ on streaming services, with the tracks previously being vinyl exclusives.
