The album has been anticipated by fans since late July when news of the impending release was revealed in the New York Times, shortly after Apple Music hosted a livestream on Frank\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

It was further teased when Frank posted a picture of a library book slip showing a range of potential \u201cdue dates\u201d and a video of him constructing a spiral staircase.<\/p>\n

The album has been released with an accompanying glossy magazine, Boys Don\u2019t Cry, available from a pop-up shop on London\u2019s Charlotte Street, as well as locations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.<\/p>\n

The magazine contains a hard copy of Blonde, according to Billboard, as well as a spread of fashion photographs, poems by Ocean, short stories, an outline for a television show and interviews with his collaborators Lil B and Om\u2019Mas Keith.<\/p>\n

Rapper Kanye West, who also has a pop-up shop in London, has contributed a poem about McDonald\u2019s to the magazine.<\/p>\n
