Frank Ocean has been the center of attention every since he came out about his sexual preference via his Tumblr. We didn’t say much about it but Saule Wright did say some real shit in The Forums:
I never understand this shit. I mean, more power to him if this was some liberating moment. But let’s keep it all the way funky. Since being gay is not a disability especially in the context of making music, what’s the purpose? Like, all it does is like the homie said, make the music odd. It honestly serves nothing but to try and make us think about what them niggas do in the bedroom, that goes for both men and women. If you’ve made it or are a celebrity, telling us that you have a sexual desire towards the same sex doesn’t mean SHIT about what comes out my speakers other than “was he/she thinking about him/her.” I’ll be glad when this isn’t an issue.
All that aside, Frank Ocean makes dope music and his newest leak from his upcoming album Channel Orange (Which drops on July 17th) backs that statement. Co-produced by Pharrell.
Sidenote: “Songs For Women” though?
