Frank Ocean Teases SZA, Kendrick Lamar, & André 3000 Collaboration
Frank Ocean fans may be getting some new music soon.
Taking to his Tumblr page on Tuesday morning (Feb. 5), the reclusive crooner posted a cryptic teaser for something dropping month. “MARCH 1ST ..SOLANA + KL + ANDRE,” he wrote. “HERE FOR THE BEANS.”
While it’s unclear exactly what he’s teasing, it appears that he may have a collaboration with SZA, Kendrick Lamar, and André 3000 dropping on March 1, which falls on the traditional Friday release schedule.

He followed it up with another post, which was quickly deleted: “IF YOU DIDN’T LIKE 2018, YOU WILL DEFINITELY LIKE 2019.” This is not the first time Ocean has trolled fans. In January 2018, he posted an image of a man wearing a hat that read, “If you liked 2017, you’ll love…2018.”

Additionally, he shared a blurred out screenshot that appears to say “Moon River (feat.),” hinting that he may re-release his 2018 cover of Audrey Hepburn’s “Moon River” with a featured guest. The post has since been removed.

Ocean has not released a full body of work since 2016’s Blonde. Last month, he teased a cover of SZA’s “The Weekend” on Instagram Stories.
It was recently reported that his 45-minute visual Endless would be releasing to streaming services in a track-by-track album format. However, Ocean denied the report on Instagram, writing, “Fake news.”
UPDATE: False alarm. It appears that Ocean’s Tumblr page was hacked. Fans were made aware of this after the hacker tried to sell unreleased Ocean songs and asked for likes in exchange for the collaboration.
