Frank Ocean - Coachella 2012

Christopher Francis Ocean, born Christopher Breaux, has been a singer/songwriter for many years. He grew up in New Orleans, but now lives in Beverly Hills. Now releasing rhythm and blues under the name Frank Ocean, his debut mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra, was released in February 2011, and sometime after that 63 songs were compiled and put out under the title The Lonny Breaux Collection, many of which were probably written before 2011. He has also written or been featured on songs for OFWGKTA, Kanye and Jay-Z on Watch the Throne, and Bridget Kelly. BBC announced that he had come in second in their Sound of 2012 poll, and his mixtape has received a ton of great reviews. His lyrics focus on many social issues and personal relationships, "American Wedding" focuses on divorce in America, while "Novacane" explores flirting with a girl at coachella, and getting high with her. "Swim Good" sees Ocean delving into himself and talking about his past and being lost and mourning and finding larger meaning in life. He got in some trouble with The Eagles for using the backing melody to "Hotel California" and the track is no longer available on youtube or anywhere online.

His debut album is set to be released sometime this spring, hopefully before Coachella, but nothing has officially come out about it, other than that.
