Frank Ocean Debuts New Song “Chanel”

Byhiphop

On Friday night, Beats 1 made a surprise announcement that there would be a new episode of Frank Ocean’s Beats 1 show blonded RADIO.

Given that the last episode featured a chat with Jay Z, expectations were high. There were also rumors that Ocean would debut new material. 

The singer delivered, sharing a previously unheard song called “Chanel.” You can check it out here on Tidal, or here on iTunes/Apple Music. Ocean also shared two Tumblr posts connected to the song. One had the lyrics in an abstract-seeming pattern.

The other had art with the Chanel logo and the words “Chanel @ Everywhere.”

The song played for about an hour straight on the Beats 1 show, and an ASAP Rocky verse, possibly a remix, was aired as well.

“I’m so far ahead of my time; I’m bout to start another life/ Look behind you, I’m bout to pass you twice.”- Jay Z

“Youngins ice grillin’ me, oh you not feeling me/Fine, it cost you nothing/Pay me no mind”

“I’d rather die enormous than live dormant”

“They giveth and they taketh life is cruel that way/But even a broken clock is right at least two times a day”

“A wise man told me don’t argue with fools, cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who.”

“Swear to everything, when I leave this Earth, it’s gon’ be on both feet, never knees in the dirt”

“No one said it would be easy, n**** livin’ is work”

“I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not trying”
