Watch Out Endless via Apple Music

Two days after dropping a "visual album" called "Endless," Frank Ocean on Saturday debuted his hotly anticipated album "Blond" — "Blonde" on Apple Music and iTunes — as a two-week windowed exclusive on Apple's streaming music service (Related: Apple Music Converter).

Frank Ocean has released a 45-minute long video titled “Endless.” A representative from Apple Music calls it his new “visual album.” The rep also told Pitchfork to “keep an eye out this weekend for more from Frank.” It features new Frank songs and takes place in the same warehouse where Ocean has been hosting a web stream. The new songs feature contributions from Jonny Greenwood, James Blake, and more; two songs were recorded at Abbey Road. The status of Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry and its long-reported accompanying print publication are currently unclear. Find the tracklist below, and watch “Endless” here.

Earlier tonight, Frank Ocean returned to the mysterious web stream that began on his website boysdontcry.co two weeks ago. He assembled the wooden boxes that he had hand-built into a spiral staircase. The stream featured new music.

Reset Your iCloud Music Library to fix that Apple Music Messed Up

If you're like me or a number of other users whose Apple Music or iCloud Music Library experience was soured by faulty song matching, you may be excited to hear the news that Apple is purportedly fixing how its matching algorithm works. But in order to take full advantage of this upgrade, you'll probably want to reset your iCloud Music Library.

In its infancy, iCloud Music Library did a poor job of matching songs, using metadata instead of the audio files themselves. This led to explicit songs getting confused with clean, cuss-free versions, and studio editions replacing live versions. But now that Apple is rolling out matching technology that creates a fingerprint out of audio, it's a good time to start again.

The process is a bit elaborate, as you're creating a new library in iTunes in order to start over, but it's the best and safest way to handle these files. Using these steps you won't be removing any of your songs from iTunes, which means less risk on your part.

How to Reset an iCloud Music Library

These instructions work the same way on a Mac as they do on a PC, except in certain circumstances where noted.

1. Click iTunes. (On a PC, click Edit)

25. Select Preferences.

26. Check the box next to iCloud Music Library.

27. Click OK.

Check the progress of your upload by clicking on the spinning gear in the upper right corner. Once the process completes, your songs should be correctly matched in your iCloud Music Library.

How to re-start iCloud Music Library matching and uploading.

If you have to restart or close iTunes before iCloud Music Library finishes matching your files, the uploading and matching process may need to restart.

This Friday hear “Boys Don’t Cry” of Frank Ocean on Apple Music

It is a long wait for a new Frank Ocean album.

Frank Ocean, as the innovative and enigmatic R&B singer, is set to release his next album, “Boys Don’t Cry,” on Friday through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to a person with knowledge of the release plans. The release is also expected to include a major video and a printed publication called “Boys Don’t Cry” that will be distributed at Apple stores.

“Boys Don’t Cry” is one of the year’s most anticipated new albums, and Mr. Ocean’s first since “Channel Orange” in 2012, which was widely hailed by critics and nominated for six Grammy Awards (it won one, for best urban contemporary album). Mr. Ocean himself first announced the new title three years ago, and seemed to play with the long wait when he included the image of an old-school library due-date slip labeled “Boys Don’t Cry” on awebsite connected to the album, with a series of stamped dates going back over a year. Given the number of delays the album has already had, it seems possible that Mr. Ocean could decide to put off the release beyond Friday.

Frank Ocean was an obvious talent, but Channel Orange's 2012 release made him a star. The album was universally recognized as one of the best of the year by critics, and was also nominated for six Grammy awards. It was commercially successful, too, debuting at #2 on the Billboard album charts. And in an elegant and brief note published on Tumblr a week before the album's release, Ocean told the world he was bisexual. It was a revelation that rendered the album's love songs even more affecting and helped to make music a more progressive space. Boys Don't Cry probably won't have the same social impact asChannel Orange — let's find out how it fares in terms of songcraft.

No Hard Feelings Dreezy

No Hard Feelings is Dreezy’s major-label debut, and it makes good on that promise. It’s a fully-formed offering that seamlessly balances her more rugged raps with pristine pop songs (sculpted in “Body”’s image) and tender slow jams. There are just enough drill bits to pacify Schizo era fans, but the album moves and turns on more subdued songs delivered in singsong and a few straight-up R&B joints.

Nothing's Real Shura

Nothing's Real is the debut album from twenty-five-year-old British alt-pop diarist Shura. It’s as much an outline for her hotly anticipated debut, Nothing’s Real, as the framework for a bright and promising career: honesty, simplicity, and transparency.
