Frank Ocean, talented singer and songwriter, gave fans a snippet of new music after his 5 year long hiatus.
Immersing in the music industry in 2011 with his hit album, “Nostalgia, Ultra”, Ocean has made a huge impact on the music industry and his fans. Ocean’s voice is soulful yet experimental, and his songwriting is complex yet relatable.
His ability to mix genres like R&B, electronic, and alternative pop set him apart from other artists.
He quickly grew to fame and released 2 more albums and multiple singles, collaborating with other stars like Tyler the Creator, Beyonce, Travis Scott, and even winning a Grammy for his song with Kanye West titled, “No Church in the Wild”.
However, in 2020, Ocean suffered the loss of his younger brother due to a car accident and has yet to release any new music since.
It’s been five years since Ocean last released music, but his devoted fans continue to wait eagerly, holding onto the hope that his next masterpiece will be worth the long silence.
That was until March 14, when Payton Tallbot, a UFC fighter, rumored to be dating Ocean, posted a YouTube video.
In the background of the video, an unreleased snippet of an Ocean song played, sparking excitement among fans who are now speculating about new music from the elusive artist.
The snippet is only 36 seconds long, yet the brief but captivating clip has quickly gone viral, with fans across social media buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
Theories rise within social media about what’s next for Ocean, and the overwhelming reaction proves that even after half a decade, his return is as highly anticipated as ever.
