David Bowie received a mysterious credit on Frank Ocean's new album Blonde and a press representative has clarified the situation.

Bowie is credited on Blonde, alongside other big names including Kanye West, Jamie xx, the Beatles, Brian Eno, Pharrell Williams, Elliott Smith, James Blake, Yung Lean, Tyler, The Creator and former Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij.

While Bowie's representative initially declined to comment, they later said that they could "confirm that they did not work together." It is thought that the credit is for a Bowie picture that appears in the album's accompanying Boys Don't Cry magazine.

Ocean released Blonde, streaming exclusively via Apple Music, on August 20. It followed the release of his visual album Endless and the video for his lead single "Nikes."
