Frank Ocean's sophomore album Blonde is an impactful critic's baby and commercial success, but like with his debut LP channel ORANGE, no single managed to catapult the queer singer into mainstream radio play. Like Kanye West pointed out with Ocean's Grammys snub, the artist is still in many ways terribly underrated.
That's all likely to change with the arrival of a Calvin Harris collaboration, following the Scottish producer's longtime relationship with Top 40 success, from Rihanna's "This Is What You Came For" to his own single, "Summer." On Harris' Snapchat, he teased a few clips of the new track, which pairs Ocean's smooth, sincere vocals against sunny pop production. Listen, below.
