After much anticipation from fans, the legendary R&B icon Frank Ocean is back in the spotlight. While he hasn't released any new tracks yet, he has finally promised to produce a double vinyl version of his classic album Channel Orange from 2012 for the first time. It's now available on the official Blonded online store. This highly anticipated vinyl is priced at $69, and its limited pre-order is sure to create a buzz.
It's worth noting that the cover for the Channel Orange vinyl edition has been replaced with a fresh design, showcasing a youthful portrait of Frank Ocean in a 12-grid format, with each image paired with his signature headscarf. This change is reportedly linked to the transfer of the album's rights—originally released by Def Jam Recordings, Ocean later bought back the master recordings, allowing for independent pressings. The vinyl packaging features a gatefold design with two black vinyl records, totaling about an hour in length, and includes several classics such as Thinking About You, Lost, and Pyramids.
At the same time, Frank Ocean's luxury jewelry brand, Homer, has announced its return with brand new flagship stores set to open in Los Angeles and London, where they'll also unveil the latest collection. If you're looking to snag the Channel Orange vinyl, head over to Frank Ocean's official merchandise site, Blonded, to place your order; shipping is expected within 4 to 6 weeks. Friends in or heading to Los Angeles or London should definitely keep an eye out for the latest updates from Homer’s flagship stores.
