I wonder if the song I Miss You he gave to Beyonce for her last album is about his first love ?

great song and i wish Frank all the best, he's getting a lot of support.

Yes I think it is. His version is pretty decent as well, I'd be good if he released a studio version of it.

thanks for posting

Yeah it seems the good has outweighed the bad so far.

See this is why it will definitely be a political issue.

It would be nice if the LGBT community came out in force and supported this album but I have no faith in the community. I mean they're so far up Katy Perry and Demi Lavato's asses that I doubt they'd even listen to a hip hop influenced album.

lol I guess it's a damn if you damn if you don't moment. He would've still got decent sales if he didn't say anything. His letter didn't even sound like he was "coming out", more like "okay, this is what happened a few years ago that motivated me to do the albums I did."

I don't know who Mr. Ocean is but good for him. No one should feel ashamed, fear rejection nor isolation because of who they love. People should be able to live their lives on their terms, as long as others aren't being harmed.

Well his letter talked about being attracted to a man so I mean I took it as him being into men but whatever lol I don't really care either way. I just feel that people are buying it now because of this .. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual music is not discuss lol I was planning on buying it anyway even though i'm not a huge fan of him.

After the listening party someone was heard saying, "Now I know what it must've been like when people heard "Purple Rain" for the first time."

The writer who heard it reduxed: "More like D'Angelo."

I'm psyched.

Not much luck of that happening. I read that after every studio session he has all the sessions backed up on hard drives he takes home then has the machines the drives were taken from wiped.

But yeah, The New York and L.A. Times have gone on and on about how great this thing is. I sure hope so. We've been through enough this past decade musically. We NEED this!

Very gifted & brave brotha. This is a profound thing he has done..Especially since there were no rumors about him whatsoever. Besides a blind item that I refused to post last week.

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince
