BLONDE

We asked Frank Ocean stans why 'Endless' is their favourite album and deserved of more recognition.

Fun fact #1: Frank Ocean's birth name is Christopher Breaux.

Here’s everything we know so far.

Listen to the killer playlist.

Nobody panic.

The generation-defining artist shoots two covers and a 32-page portfolio for i-D, and contributes an essay about peace, love and Szechuan sauce.

After four quiet years, Frank’s back at it again with two new releases. As he drops Slide on Me (ft. Young Thug) today, and Lens over the weekend, we salute the singer’s less-heard masterpieces.

In her series Hair, photographer Émilie Régnier captures the women of Cote d'Ivoire's beauty parlours.

The latest instalment of Marvel's iconic hip-hop comic book series, Royals #1, features a take on Frank Ocean's Blonde as its cover page.

Finally, a complete roster of those who shaped the enigmatic album.

It doesn't matter if Blonde wins, "all we need is a fair shot."

Blonde and Endless were both released before the cut off point, but neither was actually submitted for consideration. D’oh!
