Frank Ocean’s Blond is one of the most acclaimed albums of the 2010s, blending emotional vulnerability with lush, genre-blurring production. Blond, the second studio album by Ocean, was released on August 20, 2016. The album features guest vocals from André 3000, Beyoncé, and Kim Burrell, among others. Production was handled by Ocean himself, alongside a variety of high-profile record producers.

Blond features an abstract and experimental sound in comparison to Ocean’s previous releases, encompassing styles such as R&B, pop, soul, avant-garde, indie rock, electronica, psychedelia, and hip-hop. Ocean also notably makes use of pitch shifted vocals. Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys) is recognized as a strong influence on the album’s lush arrangements and layered vocal harmonies, while the guitar and keyboard rhythms on the album are considered languid and minimal. The album’s themes surround Ocean dealing with his masculinity and emotions, inspired by sexual experiences, heartbreak, loss, duality, and trauma.

Supported by the lead single, “Nikes,” the album debuted at #1 in the US and several other countries. Time magazine named it the best album of 2016, and Rolling Stone ranked it at #79 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
