Share the (Hoboken, NJ) sidewalk, Sinatra — there’s a new Frank in town. And Frank Ocean’s “Moon River” is pretty amazing too.
Wait: Frank-Frank, Ocean-“River.” Wow, this single was meant to be.
The R&B singer, rapper and songwriter (that’s Ocean, not Sinatra) just dropped a surprise cover of the tune from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” It’s pretty incredible, and makes for a great belated Valentine’s Day gift.
Listen to Ocean’s version via the YouTube video above.
Here are some choice Twitter reactions to the updated ditty:
