It is currently unclear if this is an older photograph, or something taken recently. The musician has made no concrete hints at dropping a new project since 2016’s much-lauded ‘Blonde’.

Since the release of ‘Blonde’, just a handful of singles including ‘DHL’ and ‘In My Room’ have arrived. Ocean also shared previously unreleased music to soundtrack his radio show celebrating the ten-year anniversary of 2012’s ‘Channel Orange’ back in July last year and also dropped ‘Cayendo’ and ‘Dear April’ on streaming services earlier in 2023, with the tracks previously being vinyl exclusives.

Ocean teased potential new music on his Instagram stories late last year. On November 9, the ‘Nikes’ singer took to his Instagram Stories to post a minute-long snippet of a new, unreleased song. The Instagram Story expired on November 10 but was been recorded and shared by Pop Base on X/Twitter.

Prior to the teases, Ocean headlined the first weekend of Coachella 2023, but was forced to cancel his appearance for the second weekend due to injury. He was replaced by Skrillex, Fred Again.. and Four Tet. It was his first live performance since 2017.
