Reclusive crooner Frank Ocean makes a colorful splash in the latest issue of W Magazine. 

It’s been three years since the singer-songwriter released bodies of work – and even still the controversial roll-out of ‘Endless’ and ‘Blonde’ (which arrived a day later) remains an industry hot topic.

For, unbeknownst to most, Ocean used one to fulfil his major label contract and (arguably) seized that buzz to drop his premiere the other. His first independent project.

Hailed as a masterstroke move by some, others wondered if there would be ramifications.

As for Ocean himself? He’s simply swimming on with his career plans – which include the release of new material.

In his accompanying interview feature, he dishes on his upcoming music and reflects on his headspace and rationale for the double-album move…

OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder sent his Twitter mentions soaring over the weekend when he took to the annual Global Citizen Festival to confirm Beyonce would be joining forces with Adele for the Pop group’s upcoming album.

Having written hits for both in the past (‘Halo’ for Bey, ‘Turning Tables’ for Addy), news outlets and fans of both divas alike immediately assumed Tedder’s comments had merit – a circumstance only supported by the Pop divas’ very public comments of admiration for each other over the years.

Monday morning (September 30) saw those fan dreams dashed, however, after a rep for the 40-year-old singer-songwriter confirmed the collaboration is not happening.

September 24 marked the sixth season kick offs of hit ABC series ‘Black-ish’ and FOX’s former flagship, ‘Empire,’ respectively.

For the latter, which saw its cancellation announced earlier this year (as we reported here), the pressure was on to carry on after the PR nightmare caused by former star Jussie Smollett‘s alleged hate crime hoax.  With its negative impact already seen and felt in the latter half of the Lee Daniels-helmed show’s season 5, hopes weren’t exactly high for the series’ season 6 premiere – despite being its last – to rebound to its former glory.

Similarly, ABC’s ‘Black-ish’ – albeit able to boast a scandal-free run (to date) – has seen a steady decline in its viewership since its 2014 debut as well (which pulled in a whopping 11.04 million viewers).  Once the ratings leaders for their respective nights, ‘Empire,’ now airing on Tuesday nights, not only had to face off with ‘Black-ish’ but also against the likes of NBC’s juggernaut ‘This Is Us’ and CBS’ ‘FBI.’
