Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’ disappeared from Spotify for a few hours and fans lost their minds
Oh, dear. Previous experiences have shown that Frank Ocean is a huge fan of disappearing acts, and then his music appeared to have given us the slip as well, at least for a little while. Like a thief in the night, the singer’s new album Blonde disappeared from Spotify on Tuesday after only being there a few days, leaving a trail of fan’s shattered hopes and dreams in its wake.
Just when you thought he couldn't toy with our emotions any more folks…Frank Ocean took his album off Spotify…

BUT! As with any good Frank Ocean tale, there’s a shocking twist and a glimmer of hope to help fans recover from this dark moment in music history. Spotify explained the mystery of the vanishing album to The Fader, and unlike the nail-biting drama surrounding Ocean’s album release, this time we have only a “small technical error” to blame.
As it turns out, the streaming service snafu was only temporary and Blonde is back on Spotify.
Phew, that was such a close call and not at all the most healthy way to start a day. But at least now fans can reclaim their sanity and proceed with obsessing over Ocean’s new music. We’re sure they appreciate it now more than ever.
