*Frank Ocean gave a Valentine’s Day surprise to his fans Wednesday night: a cover of the 1962 classic “Moon River,” penned by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer and sung by Audrey Hepburn in the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
Posted on his Tumblr page above a caption that says “In the late nite,” the song features a soft electric guitar and some keyboards underneath multiple layered overdubs of Ocean’s vocals.
Via Variety:
The release continues Ocean’s completely self-determined approach to releasing music whenever he feels like it, often on his Beats 1 radio show, Blonded.”
He used the station to premiere several songs in 2017, including “Provider” in August as well as “Biking (Solo)” and “RAF,” a collaboration with A$AP Rocky, earlier in the year. He performed a handful of concerts over the summer, including shows in New York and Los Angeles that were filmed by Spike Jonze and met with rapturous response from the audiences.
