the true storyteller" and said of the lyrics, "I don't think anyone during any given point during the creative process knew what was happening . It won him the Album of the Year award at the 2012 Soul Train Music Awards [124] and Outstanding Music Artist at the 2013 GLAAD Media Awards.

In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 148 on the magazine's revision to the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. Ocean recorded his vocals alone for several months, striving intensively for high performance standards, before rejoining Malay for the album's production. Ocean and Def Jam eventually mended their relationship, [1] and while a planned contracted edition of Nostalgia, Ultra never materialized, the label released two of its songs as singles, including the Billboard charting " Novacane". He recorded most of the album at EastWest Studios in Hollywood, near where he was renting a home at the time.

On its number of shows, Ocean explained that he wanted to provide quality over quantity and said that "it's not about let's do a million things right now. The title also alludes to the first time that Ocean fell in love, as it was summer and he perceived everything to be orange. Ocean produced most of Channel Orange and was assisted by Malay, [6] who also played guitar, bass, keyboards, and brass instruments.

During an August performance at Øyafestivalen in Norway, Ocean lost his voice and ended his set early. It's hard to believe that Frank Ocean is a member of OFWGKTA when this album sits entirely on the other side of the spectrum, but even with features from Earl and Tyler, the album manages to maintain an air of maturity about it, which is refreshing to hear.

Pink Matter" is a bluesy lament with themes of sex and betrayal, [38] as its narrator struggles between pleasure and universal meaning.

Similar to Nostalgia, Ultra, [46] Channel Orange has interludes that feature sounds of organs, waves, tape decks, [26] car doors, [47] channel surfing, white noise, [48] and dialogue. He titled the album as a reference to the neurological phenomenon grapheme–color synesthesia, through which he had perceived the color orange during the summer he first fell in love. when he's singing maybe from a female perspective or whatever, it's a story, it's a world that he created. Can't say that I had high hopes for a bootleg, but this is a uniquely garbage pressing of a great album.
