Frank Ocean [Endless/Blonde albums]

Quote:

Def Jam has confirmed that Channel Orange is, in fact, the name of Frank Ocean's new album, and that it's out July 17.

In a week that's been populated with obfuscated release announcements and trailers for upcoming albums, Odd Future's Frank Ocean has posted a teaser for something he's calling "Channel Orange". Watch the short clip he uploaded to his blog below, featuring a video of a car and a fine slow jam about a sexy dame called Cleopatra.

In an interview with the BBC from earlier this year, Ocean confirmed that he had patched things up with label Def Jam (he had become frustrated with their inaction after they never re-released Nostalgia, Ultra, apparently) and would be releasing an album in spring 2012. Is Channel Orange that record? We'll find out on July 17, according to the end of the video

Update: Frank Ocean has released a full track from the record, "Pyramids". It's the track that was teased in the Code Orange trailer. Check out the artwork for "Pyramids" below, after the dates.

Not feeling the first half, but the second half is great.

Frank Ocean has just posted a statement on his Tumblr in which he appears to reveal that he is bisexual or gay. In the piece, which he says was supposed to accompany the liner notes for Channel Orange, he admits to having fallen in love with a man. It closes with, "I feel like a free man. If I listen closely.. I can hear the sky falling too."

Although the language is vague, it nonetheless marks a very brave step. Frank Ocean's crew, Odd Future, have been criticized for their virulent anti-gay lyrics, although Syd the Kyd, the group's sole female member, is an out lesbian.

As an introduction, Frank first posted on his Tumblr,

BASEDGOD WAS RIGHT. we're all a bunch of golden million dollar babies. my hope is that the babies born these days will inherit less of the bull**** than we did. anyhow, what i'm about to post is for anyone who cares to read. it was intended to fill the thank you's section in my album credits, but with all the rumors going round.. i figured it'd be good to clarify...

He then posted the full statement:

i just cried

Just been on a another forum I go on and he's gotten so much hate :bored:. Fair play to him.

Very brave thing to do, especially with all the homophobia in the rnb and hip hop communities

can't wait for the album
