well that was fast.
didn’t see this one coming in his story line at all…
Frank Ocean says he may never make another album, telling the Guardian he may instead try writing a novel.
“Storytelling’s a different thing,” the singer said.”It’s the more interesting part about making music for me, or making albums and songs and stuff. So much so that I might not make another album. I might just write a novel next. I don’t know!”
When the reporter reminded Ocean that he was recently spotted in the studio, he responded by saying he was working “on another artist.” Over the past few weeks, Ocean has spent time recording with Alicia Keys, Pharrell and Jay-Z.
Fans shouldn’t be too worried, however. The “channel ORANGE” singer admits that he doesn’t “intend to stop making music.”
“This isn’t a faux retirement,” he said. “It’s no bullsh-t. I was just making music yesterday. But I do think – it would be f–king legendary if I just made Channel Orange last year, then put out a best-selling novel next year, then, you know, designed an arena in Stockholm in 2014! I don’t know! You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible, and love your life as much as you can despite the bullshit and all the expectations and sh-t.”
well…
i guess…
if it’s not book filled with fox tales,

I wish him well. He’s a very talented man, and if/when he does write his book, I’ll certainly cast my eye over it!
Stunt Queen.
My sentiments exactly
I love him. Big dreams. Big ideas. Sky’s the limit.
Thank you good bye on your merry way
Wow. He’s only made one album right? I wouldn’t recommend that. He needs to make more music.
*yokes King me up and pushes him out the 20th floor window, smiles and continues work* Thank you and please don’t come again!!
How come you made me laugh out loud when you said the “gap closed on her ass”, will have to put that in my sayings dictionary. Frank is giving me that he is one who can pimp the media to make himself interesting and mysterious and artsy. He as many artist will find out soon enough, in this fast paced media world, you only have a short time to strike when the iron is hot, and if you dont pimp yourself out 24/7 aka Rihana, Chris Brown, Kanye West and any other attention whore, you will find yourself selling your downloads on your Facebook page and playing in no name clubs. The days of the mysterious superstars aka Prince are long gone. You have to shake and sell that ass as well as show that ass to remain relevant. Frank stop playing games and I will look forward to the project you will release late next year.
Good. Then we’ll never have to hear another word out of his attention-seeking, prentious, crusty mouth again.
