Looks like we don't have Watch Aunt's Temptation (2018)to wait four years for new tracks from Frank Ocean.
The artist debuted a new solo song "Chanel" on his Beats 1 radio show Blonded Friday night. It's his first solo track since Endlessand Blonde, and it's delightful and groundbreaking for all kinds of reasons.

"My guy pretty like a girl /And he got fight stories to tell / I see both sides like Chanel / See on both sides like Chanel," Ocean says.
Members of the queer community made no attempt to disguise their delight on Twitter.

Ocean premiered two versions of the track on his new radio show for Apple Music, signaling his independence from Def Jam. The brand has something of a monopoly on big-name artists like Ocean at the moment.
If we have to wait for this kind of excellence again, so be it. We'll just play this on repeat for years.
