Update: According to Frank Ocean, 'Endless' Won't Be Streamable After All
Update: Frank Ocean says Endless coming to streaming is "fake news."

The singer denounced the report via an Instagram comment on a post from a fan page Tuesday, writing, "Fake news."
The 45-minute visual album received mixed reception— some fans were waiting in bated breath for the track-by-track streamable release, while others who interpreted it as a throwaway project that was seemingly only released to fulfill Ocean's Def Jam and Universal Music Group deal at the time were less concerned.
