It sent social media ablaze, many very happy for Frank, some not so much. The song was released and in it, you can hear Frank expressing his feelings about a boy from his past whom he fell in love with. In June 2012, rumors began circulating about a possible track on Channel Orange that hinted at Frank’s sexuality, that song being “Forrest Gump”. After his first two singles, (“Swim Good” being the second), Frank ushered in a whole new fan base that were all very excited to hear new music that was not only good, but not like the rest of the music that was out there. From that mixtape came his first major single, “Novacane”, which was Frank’s introduction to the mainstream. He released a few mixtapes, one being nostalgia,ULTRA, another Ocean classic. Frank began releasing his own music and gaining a following in the process. On July 10, 2012, Frank Ocean released his HIGHLY anticipated debut album, Channel Orange. Happy Anniversary Channel Orange!īefore the album and all of the hype, Frank Ocean was an artist from the collective, Odd Future. Frank wasn’t like the others in the collective as he was a singer, the rest, for the most part were rappers. So many memories come to mind when I think of this album, I don’t even know where to begin.
