Frank Ocean Drops New Track "Chanel" Featuring A$AP Rocky [LISTEN]

Last night saw Frank Ocean back on Apple Music’s Beats 1 for the second episode of blonded RADIO, during which he premiered a brand new cut titled “Chanel”. Before the stream ended, Ocean then liberated a remix of the same track — this time with assistance from A$AP Rocky.

On the latter version, Rocky matches his collaborator’s mood on the melodic, somewhat-somber cut, which seems to continue Ocean’s apparent fixation on biformity. “Chanel” also hints at a possible current relationship, which may or may not be the song’s main subject matter:

My guy pretty like a girl
And he got fight stories to tell
I see both sides like Chanel
See on both sides like Chanel
…
In the pink like Killa Cam
Put a zoom on that stick, Noé
Up so close I’m on that kill
Remote controller on your lower back
Yes the good
Dick could roll the eyes back in the skull
Rolling when you ride, poppin’
Rolling when you ride
Ride the Rodman
Got one that’s straight acting
Turnt out like some dirty plastic…

Check out both “Chanel” and its remix below; it’s the first release from Ocean since last year’s Endless and Blonde (again, the dual thing), both of which were met with critical acclaim. You can also stream the entire episode of blinded RADIO here.
