Frank Ocean Acclaimed songwriter, solo artist and former member of now-defunct Odd Future group. He released his debut album Channel Orange in 2012 to high praise from fans and the music world. His new album is supposed to be coming out this summer or fall... but we've heard many rumors for the past 2 years. BUT there is hope - http://pitchfork.com/news/67657-frank-ocean-releases-visual-album-endless-watch/ Pretty sure this thread is gonna blow up crazy like my James Blake thread
I checked out 'Endless' but haven't heard it enough to form a proper opinion yet. Apparently 'Boys Don't Cry' is dropping this weekend but who fucking knows at this point.
I haven't gotten around to watching the short-film but as I typed "Frank Ocean" into Apple Music to watch that film, I magically see a new fucking album from Frank. Check wherever you get your digital music from! I'm gonna give the album a listen tonight.
The new album is really sexy, surreal and nocturnal. "Night" is one of my favorites. I'm almost done listening to the album.
http://pitchfork.com/news/67748-frank-ocean-no-longer-on-def-jam-blonde-was-self-released/ So he allegedly ended his relationship with Def Jam records and released his sophomore album himself.
Ok so he released two songs recently: He collaborated with Calvin Harris and Migos for "Slide", which is Calvin Harris' best song by a mile. And he recently released a new song, "Chanel". The original version is found in streaming sites, but he also released a remix featuring Asap Rocky. https://soundcloud.com/myguyprettylikeagirl/frank-ocean-chanel-remix-feat-asap-rocky
