Five years to the month after releasing arguably the best album of the 2010s, the spotlight-shy Frank Ocean has emerged to share something with the world again. Late last week, he began touting something called “Homer.” “My hope is to make things that last, that are hard to destroy, set it in stone,” he wrote over a picture of himself holding his hand to his heart. “This is 3 years in the making and there is so so much I’m excited to share with all you strangers.”
Fans went berserk. Ocean, they guessed, was about to do a rare thing: release new music. Though he’s been one of the most-hallowed names in popular culture. “I need to find a [girlfriend] and get my heart broken real quick.”
