The Current World of Frank Ocean: Latest Updates

Frank Ocean fans have been waiting impatiently for a new album since 2016's Blonde. Now, there's exciting news as it's been revealed that Frank Ocean is working on new music with one of the Blonde's producers, Michael Uzowuru.

The revelation emerged in a New York Times profile on Michael Uzowuru. He has a long history of collaboration with Frank Ocean, co-producing the standout track "Nights" from Blonde and contributing to his visual album Endless. They have also worked together on hits like "Chanel" and "In My Room."

Frank Ocean praised Uzowuru, stating that their careers exist beyond Hip Hop and that Uzowuru's musical vocabulary has significantly grown over the years. He also credited Uzowuru, along with Rick Rubin, for helping him overcome writer's block, considering him a frequent artistic confidant.

Uzowuru reciprocated the love, emphasizing their deep connection beyond work and considering Frank Ocean like family.

While Uzowuru has been active with work for other high-profile stars like Beyoncé, SZA, and Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean has been more reclusive. His last release was in 2020 with "Dear April" and "Cayendo."

Although it's unclear which project the new music is for and whether it will lead to a full album, the news has sparked excitement among fans. As the eighth anniversary of Blonde approaches, the anticipation for new material from Frank Ocean continues to grow.
