A very seasonal transmission from the elusive singer.

Frank Ocean has shared a Christmas edition of his phantom Beats 1 show, blondedRADIO.

PLAYLIST: The Round-Up: Best Songs of The Week - ft. Roc Marciano, Alchemist, 9th Wonder and More

Though there was no new music from Ocean in the seasonal transmission, the episode features songs from Shuggie Otis, Solange, The Dungeon Family, George Harrison, The Miracles, Cortex, and more. It follows the debut of "In My Room" in the program's 10th episode, which featured cover art some fans interpreted as a signal for a new project. "In My Room" marked the fifth bit of new material on the year from Ocean, premiering "DHL" along with remixes of unreleased songs from Arca, Justice, and Sango, at his PrEP+ events, which are available to pre-order on vinyl via Ocean's site.
