Frank Ocean launches new weekly Apple Music 1 show Homer Radio

The new weekly radio show launched today (28 October) with the debut episode, which features French-born, Ivorian/Guadeloupean producer and DJ CRYSTALLMESS, and marks Frank Ocean's first Apple Music 1 radio show since releasing two episodes of Blonded Radio back in July.

Frank Ocean explains that Homer Radio is "a one-hour window into what plays around our office after hours. Twin towering line array speakers hold court. 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. Skulls on swivels make no sudden movements; helicoptering over paperwork, pens, blades, vices, precious metals and gemstones. Deluges of artificial light pour from small canisters like those dragons that spring from cylinders, like the never-ending ribbons pulled from a magicians ear. Media volleys across short distances quickly on the net as Sorkin-like walk and talks travel down the hallways further and further from the sound. This is Homer Radio. An office soundtrack. Can’t you hear our ‘voice’? It’s not a dead line."

Back in August Frank Ocean's luxury brand Homer released a 18-karat gold cock ring up for sale for over $25,000.
