In fact, the songs line up with 454’s debut album, 4 REAL, released in March (and, according to Reddit sleuths, an album Ocean liked at the time).īut what is Homer then? According to a press release, the company will be selling fine jewelry and silk scarves at a store opening on August 9 at 70–74 Bowery in New York City. But Ocean’s publicist told Vulture that the project is an album by the rapper 454 - who, according to this Rolling Stone interview and photo shoot, is not Frank Ocean. A tab on the right reads “listen to 454,” and upon clicking, it plays through a woozy hip-hop project that many thought could be new Frank Ocean music (despite the unrecognizable vocals). Ocean, the R&B experimentalist, launched a new luxury company called Homer on August 6, setting off a bit of confusion when fans found a 12-track album on the website. I felt to fully understand and appreciate Blonde, you had to know channel ORANGE.Today may not have brought us a new Kanye West album, and now it looks like it’s not bringing us a new Frank Ocean one either. It’s such an artistic leap, a complete sonic one-eighty. Cuchna recently told Pigeons and Planes that with an artist like Frank, there just wasn't any other way to approach it: "I was really interested in exploring the transition between channel ORANGE and Blonde.
This season further expands the show's scope by focusing on not one, but two albums, with both channel ORANGE and Blonde each getting their own devoted run of episodes. Now, thanks to a new partnership with Spotify, Dissect is Cuchna's full time concern, and the third season reflects that expanded focus by taking on Frank Ocean, an artist whose catalogue of nuanced and deeply referential music makes him a perfect subject for this sort of ultra-nerdy analysis. For the first two seasons of Dissect, which drilled down on the previously mentioned Kanye and Kendrick albums, Cuchna worked on the podcast as a side hustle, putting in dozens of late-night sessions "in a state of exhaustion" after his day job had finished and his wife and daughter had gone to sleep.
