frank ocean: steps out of the closet

Frank Ocean is the latest celebrity to proclaim a not so run of the mill sexual orientation. (Read Mr. Ocean’s coming out letter) Less than 24-hours ago Mr. Ocean substantiates claims of his bi-sexuality shortly after a U.K. reporter outed him.  Frank Ocean played his upcoming album Channel Orange for a mix bag of press at a promotional event. The follow trio of songs, ‘Bad Religion,’ ‘Pink Matter (Ft. André 3000) and ‘Forrest Gump’ exude not so subtle references of Frank Ocean loving a ‘he’ and not a ‘she’. What will this mean for the up and coming singer/songwriter? And further, how will fans, and specifically the R&B community react? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Frank Ocean’s forthcoming album Channel Orange drops in just under 2-weeks (July 17th) via Def Jam. Peace.
