Frank Ocean to release debut album "Channel Orange" in July

Frank Ocean has revealed to his fans, a viral video showing the title and release date of his highly-anticipated  debut album. The teaser was directed by Nabil ("Mercy"), a BMW station wagon is parked outside of an house at night. His voice can be heard singing the lyrics of a new song: "She's working up the pyramid tonight". As that happens, an orange cloud passes with the words saying "Channel Orange" and "7.17.12.".

"It succinctly defines me as an artist for where I am right now and that was the aim, just to make something that represents where you are at that time", Ocean told BBC of his upcoming work. "It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness".
