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.
