    Frank Ocean, reclusive R&B hero, just ended an extended break from releasing new solo music by posting a song (or a taste of one) to his Tumblr. It's called "Memrise" and you can listen below.

    Here are the lyrics:

    I memorized the wayward expressions

    Never look down

    Never let you see me down

    I memorized the way no directions

    Can I come over now

    I’d like to stay a little while

    I memorized your body exposed

    I could fuck you all night long

    From a memory alone

    I never forget a face

    Don’t go plastic on me

    Nothing’s set in stone

    You’re not dipped in gold

    Dipped in gold

    You can’t breathe if you’re dipped in gold

    You are not on paper

    You are not a copy

    You’re so, you’re so..so thick, so thick

    Ocean had been expected to release the long-awaited follow-up to his Grammy-winning 2012 debut Channel Orange this year, but details on the project have been scarce.

    In June, video director and Ocean collaborator Nabil Elderkin told BuzzFeed News that he'd heard the new album and had this to say: “Everyone should be excited about this new album — that shit is fire. He’s making a great record. It blows the sophomore-album myth out of the water.”

    In September, Ocean signed on with new management at the Roc Nation subsidiary Three Six Zero.
