So, Frank Ocean Has A Novel On The Way?

Elusive R&B Star Frank Ocean Could Be Adding The Title Of Author To His Resume With News That He Is Writing A Novel.

Frank Ocean could soon be adding the title of author to his resume with the news that he is writing a novel. The latest on the architect of Channel Orange comes as fans anxiously await his full-length sophomore LP. News of Ocean's literary venture was broken by a fan with the foresight to poke around in the source code of Calvin Klein's website, where text for an upcoming feature on the star of their Fall 2016 campaign was being stored:

"Frank Ocean is one of the most artistic and enigmatic musicians working today. Though it has been more than four years since he released his debut studio album, Channel Orange, interest in Ocean hasn't waned. Instead, it's increased.

"He is known for being a perfectionist, and a pursuant of creativity in all forms. He resists pressure and follows his own vision. He has published a magazine and worked on a novel while continuing to perfect his highly anticipated second album.

"Ocean shuns interviews and social media, and prefers instead to speak through his work. He has said that when it comes to understanding music, the most important thing is to just press play.

"Ocean is a powerful storyteller, using his own openness and honesty to create an emotionally intimate world in each of his songs. With his craft, his aim is not money, power, or fame, but to grow, progress, evolve and eventually be the absolute best.

"So while he continues to work on that, we'll continue to wait, as long as it takes, because when Frank Ocean does something, he does it right. The wait will be worth it."

There has been no word on the novel to date, except the unofficial mention of it from frenzied fans. Get more on Frank Ocean and his highly-anticipated Boys Don't Cry LP via boysdontcry.co
