Frank Ocean presented his Def Jam debut Channel Orange at a
listening session in New York last night. The singer-songwriter delivers
a soulful set, with features from André 3000 and Earl Sweatshirt.
The
OutKast rapper adds his trademark flow to the vulnerable, dark cut
“Pleasure,” on which he raps, “Models are made for modeling, thick girls
are made for cuddling.”
Elsewhere, his Odd Future affiliate Earl
Sweatshirt pops up on “Super Rich Kids,” which Ocean debuted at his
live shows last year. Billboard describes the Mary J. Blige-sampled
record as “soliloquies of heartbreak and abandonment, and
confessionals.”
Other tracks on the highly-anticipated follow-up
to 2011’s Nostalgia, Ultra include “Thinking About You,” “Sweet Life,”
“Voodoo,” and “Forrest Gump.”
Before Channel Orange arrives on July 17, Ocean will embark on a North American tour beginning July 13 in Seattle.
