Looks like Frank Ocean has found himself a new home.
As reported by Billboard, Frank Ocean has been signed to Three Six Zero Group since July. The magazine's site reports Ocean joins a roster that includes Calvin Harris, Deadmau5 and Kate Nash.
"Frank is an incredibly intelligent and creatively brilliant individual," Mark Gillespie, co-founder of Three Six Zero Group, said. "We're proud that he felt Three Six Zero was the right home for him."
Though Ocean's 2012 major-label debut Channel Orange brought him much success, he has developed a reputation for being difficult to deal with since emerging on the scene.
In fact, his former publicist Heathcliff Berru told Billboard in June he was "relieved" to lose Ocean as a client.
As you may recall, back in March word on web was Ocean sent a check to Chipotle with "F--k off" written in the memo box. The check was allegedly sent in response to a lawsuit against the singer for backing out of an advertisement against industrial farming.
But, just as Billboard notes, anticipation is high for his next release from Def Jam.
Last November, Ocean took to his tumblr to announce his return to music.
In a post titled "Stay True," Ocean wrote:
"mind is pretty blank right now. i'm sitting in my kitchen listening to age of consent by new order. i like this song.. i f--- with that gwen stefani song 'cool' too, i never knew 3000 played keyboards on it- sounds like some teen coming of age movie. i used my birthday week pass to stay in my apartment for too long.. sit still and catch up on some information. i saw that movie 'glengarry glen ross' and 'bottle rocket', 'pi', 'blackfish' (sea world is the devil), 'this is the end' (hahaha), 'the purge'(smh), some funny horror movie i forgot the name of '...' . my homie in aussie suggested that i read 'mr. norris changes trains'.. the writing was really nice. i read 'the new jim crow' it made me not fuck with humans for an hour. oh and 'diffficult men' which talked about great tv ..dexter, the wire, the sopranos, breaking bad and whatnot. i didn't watch any news or read it ...figured all that shit was gonna happen either way. i'm back to work these days."
Stay tuned for more updates.
