Frank Ocean

The last (and first?) time we heard Frank Ocean bust a rhyme, the members of Odd Future were hanging out at a Terry Richardson photo shoot and decided to perform an impromptu version of the song 'Oldie' -- and director Lance Bangs happened to be on hand to shoot a video of all the madness.

Frank Ocean goes cinematic for his 'Pyramids' video, a sprawling, eight-minute NSFW short film shown in letterbox that opens with the sharply dressed singer shooting up bottles behind a bar after downing a few shots. The video then alternates between scenes of him drunkenly staggering through a strip club and cruising through the desert on a motorcycle while clearly still under the influence. Rea

Frank Ocean, easily the most talked-about musician of the summer, was the obvious choice to open the 38th season of 'Saturday Night Live.' Less obvious was Ocean's choice of lead guitarist: John Mayer, who last night guested on both 'Thinkin Bout You' and 'Pyramids,' flashing furled-brow facial expressions appropriate for riffs far more complicated than the ones he was actually playing.

-- The Frank Ocean jam 'Thinking About You' has been reworked by Flying Lotus into a new tune titled 'Binge Eating Without You' that features Ocean's vocals pitched up several octaves -- which is probably both just about as weird as and way cooler than it sounds on paper.

Following a heartfelt introduction by Zoe Saldana, Frank Ocean performed a raw and emotional rendition of ‘Thinkin Bout You’ at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (Sept. 6) alongside a stunning campfire. Unlike other artists who often feel the need to pull out all the stops, he didn't require any additional fanfare. Without the addition of back-up singers or dancers, he let the song speak for

Frank Ocean has signed on as musical guest for the Sept. 15 season premiere of 'Saturday Night Live,' kicking off the 38th season of the long-running NBC comedy. As Consequence of Sound reports, Ocean will appear alongside host Seth MacFarlane, creator of 'Family Guy,' and he's not the only first-rate artist prepping for the 'SNL' stage.

Bad news for fans hoping to see Frank Ocean on the road during his upcoming European tour: They've been cancelled, starting with his last-minute decision to pull out of his planned appearance at Sweden's Way Out West festival on Saturday (Aug. 11).

With all the hype surrounding Frank Ocean and his new solo album, 'Channel Orange,' you might think that he has reached the apex of attention he can grab for himself -- but then again, if you think that, you probably don't know Ocean very well. The Odd Future member managed to one-up himself during a concert marking the release of 'Orange' on Tuesday in Los Angeles by not only covering the eternal

Yes. At this year's Primavera Sound festival, the Afghan Whigs were in the middle of their afternoon set, reminding people why angsty '90s rock didn't have to be superficial and undercooked. It could be raw, literary, and visceral, in which case Greg Dulli is the St. Augustine or Ted Hughes of the alt-rock genre. While switching from guitar to piano, Dulli pecked a few minor chords out of the keys

Is it a real controversy, or something just raging in the mind of Frank Ocean manager Christian Clancy? Clancy hit up Twitter yesterday with a post that accused Target of refusing to carry physical copies of the Odd Future member's new solo album 'Channel Orange' because of the retailer's supposed spotty record when it comes to relations with the LGTB community, not because of the disc's surprise
