SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden Gate Park turns 150 years old on Saturday, and the huge party to celebrate San Francisco's beloved treasure will, for the time being, take place online.

Yesterday, Frank Ocean finally gave his fans new music with a pair of singles, “Cayendo” and “Dear April.” The covers for the streaming versions of the tracks contain silhouettes that weren’t on the artwork of the original vinyl presses.

Many stars are doing their part to try to keep us smiling during the coronavirus pandemic, but Frank Ocean is taking a different approach!

After much ado, Drake has released "Toosie Slide," his first foray into the hip-hop microgenre nebulously defined as "instructional dance music." It's a ploy so deliberately engineered to corner the TikTok market and to meme its way into being the next "God's Plan" that it's amazing it sounds as good as it does.

R&B prodigy Frank Ocean has blessed us all when we needed it most.

Frank Ocean has surprised fans with new music!

Frank Ocean has surprised fans with new music!

Days after vinyl copies of his songs arrived at fans' doorsteps, Frank Ocean released his new singles, “Cayendo” and “Dear April,” on streaming services. Although the vinyls feature both acoustic and remixed versions of the songs, only the latter are currently available on streaming.

Frank Ocean has released two new(ish) singles. "Cayendo" and "Dear April" both premiered at his first PrEP+ party in New York last October, and both slowly made their way to fans who ordered them on 7" vinyl last week, but the acoustic versions of both are now on streaming services. They mark Ocean's first streaming release since last year's "In My Room."

Frank Ocean fans just got more music in their lives.

Frank Ocean has never marched to the beat of anyone else's drum, so it's no surprise that the singer who delights in keeping fans off balance with unexpected releases has done it again. After debuting two new tracks on the first night of his PrEP+ club night in New York in October, Ocean finally began shipping remixes of the two new songs, "Dear April" and "Cayendo," last week.

Thanks to some enterprising fans, you can finally hear some new(ish) Frank Ocean songs.
