Frank Ocean hasn’t released an album since his groundbreaking 2016 projects, Endless and Blonde. Fans have been eagerly awaiting a follow-up, and now, their patience may finally be rewarded. It’s been revealed that the former Odd Future member is actively working on new music.

Michael Uzowuru, who worked on Frank’s last two albums made the announcement in his recent New York Times profile titled, “Why Do Pop’s Biggest Stars Adore Michae Uzowuru?”

Detailing his work with the R&B star, the article read, “Uzowuru would go on to contribute to his acclaimed 2016 LP Blonde, and lend a hand to his visual album, Endless. In the following years, the two teamed up on the understated hit ‘Chanel’ and the plucky, anxious ‘In My Room.’ More recently, they’ve been working on new music together in Miami.”

“Me and Michael’s careers exist post hip hop — that genre, that culture, informs both of us greatly. But his appetite has grown; his vocabulary, musically, has grown so much over the time that I’ve known him,” Frank told the outlet over the phone. He also added that along with Rick Rubin, Uzowuru is someone he goes to when he has writer’s block. “Michael is a friend I talk to about where I’m at artistically very often,” he said.

Uzowuru reciprocated the love and said, “I couldn’t love him or care about him more. I’m very grateful for him as a person outside of the work, so it doesn’t matter if we work. I don’t need to work with him, because it’s so much bigger. He’s separate from everyone else. He’s family.”
