Fans finally received their vinyl copies after months of waiting.

Thanks to some enterprising fans, you can finally hear some new(ish) Frank Ocean songs.

Last October, after fans leaked snippets of unreleased material played at a PrEP+ party, Frank Ocean released clips of two songs—a Sango remix of “Cayendo” and a Justice remix of “Dear April.” The elusive singer then began selling vinyl copies of each song for $15 on his Blonded website.

Although the singles were supposed to be shipped in eight to 12 weeks and seemingly took several months, they finally arrived recently.

A pair of fans recorded and uploaded full versions of each track.

Ocean started his own club night last year called PrEP+, which is named after a drug that reduces the risk of HIV transmission. He previewed a number of songs during his club sets, including “Little Demon,” which was supposed to also be released on vinyl but was later canceled.

The singer has released a handful of songs in the past few years, including “DHL” and “In My Room.” But Ocean has not released a proper album since 2016’s Blonde. Last September, when asked about his unreleased material, the singer told W Magazine, “I’m always working on music and other things…Right now I’m working on doing four underwater laps in the pool.”
