Any other Frank Ocean fans tearing their hair out waiting for new music? If rumours are to be believed it's coming quite soon.

Channel Orange was by far my favourite album of the past couple of years and his previous mixtape was also excellent.

I really like her, singing one of his songs.

She has her own jazz band, as well as being the singer she plays trombone really well.

I love Lost, but I can't be bothered to listen to the rest if the album! Am I missing out?

I love him, I'm really excited to see what he's gonna do next. If it's in the same vein as Nostaligia/Ultra and Channel Orange, then I'll be happy

Any word on when it's due to be released? It feels like FOREVER since CO came out!

I either absolutely LOVE Frank Ocean's songs, or really don't like them at all.

Pyramids, Swim Good, Novacane, Thinkin' Bout You, Lost, Sweet Life, Super Rich Kids are all fantastic songs. The rest I feel really 'meh' about.

I am not a fan and found his music a bit poor to be honest. Felt more style over substance.

I personally found people suddenly began to like himthe minute he came out. I wonder how many of those people who brought his album just brought it because he admitted he was gay and they wanted to support an openly gay man in a homophobic genre of music or because his music was actually good.

Firstly, he never said he was gay. Secondly, the album was still critically acclaimed and he was touted as a future star before this. Of course the publicity helped but that's not to say that he wouldn't have been a star anyway or that people who did only buy his album due to the publicity and hype didn't actually enjoy it and become fans of his work.

I enjoyed the album, though some of the songs were just ok. It was very good but not as good as some critics thought. 4 stars in my opinion. I would be interested in hearing more from him to see where his music goes. My favourite songs of his are Lost, Novocaine, Swim Good and Sweet Life.
