This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Some songs just command your attention and that is what Frank Ocean’s fan picked single “Novacane” does. Directed by Nabil, the visual finds the singer/songwriter reflecting on the story in his mind, while basically he is high as a kite.
Check it out! What do you think?
Frank was recently asked if he could explain his current situation to his self, five years ago. Follow the jump to see what he said…
wow. alrite. i’ll give it a shot…
hey chris,
your name is frank now..it’s a long story. your girlfriend is about to break up with you because of the long distance. it’s ok. & that job you’re working..well, you’re gonna have to work there for another year and some months.. & then you’re gonna get fired. you’re gonna work a couple more jobs after that too. nothing glamorous. kinkos and at&t if you really want the specifics. but you’re never gonna be homeless or starving. don’t worry you won’t fail and have to move back to new orleans either. you are gonna get your heartbroken though. twice. if it helps, the first one is gonna be worse than the second. contrary to how it feels, it won’t kill you. in fact it’s gonna help you write an album. yea, you finally finished an album. people like it man. you’re actually gonna write and record hundreds of songs. they won’t all be good and most ppl won’t think you’re talented at first, but you’re going to master your gifts. you’re going to become a lot stronger and wiser..even a little taller. be patient. i mean, you kind of have no choice. and be good to people. i don’t wanna spoil too much for you, but.. you’re on a plane right now to the east coast to work with kanye west & jay-z. it’s all working out kid. you made it.
DOPE!
I dig Frank. Dude has a nice little flow/singing thing going…nice melodies etc. The video is cool…I guess I expected a little more (or better) but I’m not mad at it at all. Dude is should win with the buzz he’s got right now.
