On Friday (10.28) Frank Ocean confirmed Homer Radio, a new Apple Music 1 show, each episode of which will air on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET.
About the new shows, Ocean stated “Someone’s vacuuming the carpets adding a distant layer of white noise to the sound.” “Security is pacing off some boredom while pretending to check the rooms and the safes on a rehearsed patrol. A headset loaded with gadgetry helps a man who dons it to see, with its grids of light and lenses and loupes.”
The description of the program alongside the broadcast also described the radio show as an “office soundtrack.“
The first episode on Apple Music 1 will feature producer Crystallmess, and is Ocean’s latest project since producing an instrumental score for a new episode of his Apple Music 1 show, Blonded Radio.
Homer is the same name as Ocean’s luxury brand, which the artist told the Financial Times was inspired by the Greek poet :“Homer is considered the father of history and history is meant to endure – the same as diamonds and gold – and I know Homer used papyrus, but I’ve always liked the idea of carving history into stone.” said the musician.
Ocean’s long-awaited second LP Blonde, was released in 2016 and while the singer is notorious for taking extended breaks from music industry and the public, he’s released several songs including “In My Room” and “DHL” in 2019, and “Dear April” and “Cayendo” in 2020.
Frank Ocean is slated to headline Coachella in 2023.
