But that film Spike Jonze made of Ocean’s 2017 tour? Not a peep about it in years. He’s released a few stand-alone songs, like “Chanel,” “Biking” (featuring Jay-Z and Tyler, the Creator), a lovely cover of “Moon River,” “Cayendo,” a nine-minute improvised track on a special edition of his “Blonded Radio” show on Apple Music this past Christmas, and a couple of others, all of which are good and a couple of which are great - particularly 2019’s “DHL.” He’s also had other projects cooking, most prominently his luxury brand Homer.

“You proud of me?” she wrote, then followed immediately with the real topic that brought her out of her vacation reverie: “Why is Frank Ocean trending?”

Late Thursday night, a workaholic friend who’d promised to finally take a real vacation texted a series of photos of herself on a sun-kissed beach, enjoying exotic drinks and a tropical sunset.
