【新闻】Big Boi 新专首周销量29,087 The official album sales numbers are in for The Game, Big Boi and Bruno Mars, and two of three debuted in the top 10. Last week was a big one for album releases. We saw two solid hip hop releases from The Game and Big Boi along with a new project from Bruno Mars in his ‘Unorthodox Jukebox.’ Now that the official album sales numbers are in, let’s see how everyone did last week. The Game managed to sell just above his projected numbers, totaling 86,585 units sold with his fifth studio album ‘Jesus Piece.’ The number was good enough to earn The Game the sixth slot on the album sales charts. Big Boi on the other hand didn’t see such great numbers for his opening week. Although his ‘Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors’ album received rave reviews, it only managed to sell 29,087 copies in its first week, which was on the high end of the projections we revealed last week. The real winner this week was Bruno Mars with his ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ album. The project debuted at number 2 selling an impressive 187,339 copies in its first week. Even Bruno Mars’ numbers weren’t enough to dethrone Taylor Swift though as her ‘Red’ album continues to crush the competition selling 203,333 copies last week, an album that released back in October to 1.21 million in its first week.
【新闻】法海澄清不会退休,2013年有巡演 Frank Ocean has hinted that he will visit the UK for a number of live shows, following the cancellation of a number of live dates in 2012. Ocean was set to appear at V Festival and Bestival and as support for Coldplay in 2012 but cancelled both, giving no real explaination but saying the he felt like 'an a**hole' for pulling out of the slots. He also said that he was 'sorry as f*ck' and would 'be back if you have me'. Now, in a new interview with The Guardianhe has said he wants to tour the UK in the summer of 2013. When asked about potential UK gigs, he responded: "F*ck, yeah." "That is a guarantee. Wait. Let me get back to my normal self. Nothing is ever guaranteed about anything, but if I'm alive and well this summer, I should see you guys." He also suggested that he might move to the UK permanently, when discussing how Christina McVie of Fleetwood Mac quit the band and moved to England. "That sounds like some **** I would do!" He added. "No. I'm not on any retirement kick." In the same interview, he also hinted that Channel Orange may be his one and only album - saying that he might leave music behind to write a book instead. "Storytelling's a different thing. Like I said, it's the more interesting part about making music for me, or making albums and songs and stuff.," he told the broadsheet. "So much so that I might not make another album. I might just write a novel next. I don't know!"

【新闻】法海: 我可能不会再发专辑 The Guardian named Frank Ocean’s album Channel ORANGE their “Album of the Year” so to follow up they sat down for an interview with Frank and he had some interesting things to say. “So much so that I might not make another album. I might just write a novel next. I don’t know!” Frank followed up that statement by explaining his state of mind and how he wants to move forward creatively. So Channel Orange could be your last album? This could be it? It could be. It could be it, if I flew next week and my plane crashed! It could be it if somebody walked along and shot me for my bracelet or something. It could always be it. The idea of recognising your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me. I don’t ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing cos that’s just … that’s just telling yourself a lie. But I do like to sing. I play piano every day. I enjoy that. With Frank recieving all the praise for releasing one of the years questions, you might be wondering what he enjoyed this year: Finally, tell me which albums you’ve enjoyed this year. Hmm. Let me see what I have. I thought Norah Jones made a really good record. I thought Kendrick Lamar made a cool record. I thought John Mayer made a really good record. Speaking of new records, you know who needs to make a new album? I think Fleetwood Mac needs to make a new album. I think so. I think they do.

【榜单】channel ORANGE领跑华盛顿邮报年度最佳专辑 It was a year without masterpieces.Instead, 2012’s best pop albums felt more like weird friends. They crashed our parties, passed out on our couches and ate all of our Golden Grahams in the morning. Now we’re pals. Also, I said masterpieces. There was one. It came from Frank Ocean, a 25-year-old R&B rookie whose summer opus, “Channel Orange,” exploded the emotional possibilities of contemporary pop music. At his best, Ocean was sharing deep secrets with a universe of strangers — an approach he parabolized with “Bad Religion,” a ballad about unloading your spiritual confusion on an anonymous taxi driver. And while nobody came close to matching Ocean’s quiet intensity this year, that doesn’t mean 2012’s best albu***acked quirk, courage or character. Best friends forever — maybe. Best friends for now — for sure. 1. Frank Ocean, “Channel Orange” As a singer, songwriter and storyteller, Ocean is every bit as fluid as he is commanding, delivering songs crammed with moods, memories and detailed characters — all sung by a protagonist who’s earned himself a place among the greats. 2. Neil Young and Crazy Horse, “Psychedelic Pill” There’s a big, ugly future coming to bury his generation, and Young is not gonna take it. The latest from the rock legend and his trusty band is jammy and cagey, demanding and rewarding, thick with improvisation and rife with the fury that gushes when you refuse to let a changing world change you. 3. Jessie Ware, “Devotion” With so many British chanteuses willing to abuse their lungs in the name of American soul music, this 28-year-old stands out by being subtle. Her voluptuous debut — it landed in Britain this year and is expected to see stateside release in 2013 — wisely aspires to match the classiness and confidence of Sade. 4. Future, “Pluto” While Drake and his imitators continue to preen on the fault line between singing and rapping, this Atlanta sensation rhymes in Auto-Tuned grumbles. Future doesn’t sound like a breakout hip-hop star so much as a Delta bluesman’s android descendant. 5. Janka Nabay and the Bubu Gang, “En Yay Sah” Washington’s own Nabay electrifies traditional bubu music from his native Sierra Leone with a hand from some Brooklyn rock musicians — but leaping oceans and centuries is this album’s secondary achievement. The real triumph is how Nabay makes his jittery dance music race across our ears without dropping any of its sweet, high-def sensuality. 6. Fresh and Onlys, “Long Slow Dance” What exactly do we expect rock-and-roll to do in the 21st century? It can’t rule the world. It probably can’t change it, either. But it can still shimmer and glow and jingle and jangle, and make your heart ache in 4/4 time. These San Franciscans prove it. 7. Kellie Pickler, “100 Proof” On her third album, this “American Idol” survivor finally uses that big voice to sing big songs about no-good men, absentee parents, the ghost of Tammy Wynette and her own backbone, which suddenly sounds as if it were made of aerospace-grade titanium. 8. A Tribe Called Red, “A Tribe Called Red” Dance music is obviously designed to make our groove things shake, but the best stuff can be paralyzing. Try not to freeze when you hear this Canadian DJ trio mesh Native American music with crushing electronic dance rhythms. 9. Dierks Bentley, “Home” See***ike every man in Nashville wants to be the Nashville Everyman. Here, Bentley actually pulls it off, singing from various vantages with smarts and charm. Bonus points for the patriotic title track, which still sounds sensible after an election season that left America covered in red-and-blue bruises. 10. Laurel Halo, “Quarantine” On the physical plane, this innovative singer-producer resides in Brooklyn, but her fantastically forlorn, severely synthetic pop songs sound native to the great digital everywhere. Top singles 1. Robbie Williams, “Candy” 2. Tanlines, “All of Me” 3. Juicy J, “Bandz a Make Her Dance” 4. Bleached, “Searching Through the Past” 5. Kacey Musgraves, “Merry Go ’Round” 6. Fun., “We Are Young” 7. Shooter Jennings, “Southern Family Anthem” 8. Usher, “Climax” 9. Icona Pop featuring Charli XCX, “I Love It” 10. Popcaan, “Only Man She Want”
【新闻】VIBE 2012年度人物: FRANK OCEAN
【新闻】法海被评为mtvU's Man Of The Year Frank Ocean has had quite a few 2012 successes, namely his critically acclaimed, best-selling and now Grammy-nominated album Channel Orange and a personal triumph in his admission of loving a man, for which Ocean received an outpouring of support both for his honesty and for breaking boundaries in the hip-hop and R&B communities. Therefore it should come as no surprise to learn that Ocean has been named mtvU's Man of the Year, along with Pakistani social activist Malala Yousafzai who was named Woman of the Year. All things considered, Ocean has been "having a moment" for almost the whole year. A few of our favorite performance benchmarks include his stirring, stripped-down performance at the VMAs and his debut on "Saturday Night Live," which included an assist on guitar from John Mayer. Ocean has been in high demand by other artists wanting to work with him, including Alicia Keys, who recently admitted that she was incredibly fortunate to collaborate with him on a song for her Girl on Fire album. Admirably, Ocean seems unfazed by all the acclaim and attention and told MTV News recently that he felt 2012 was a "peaceful but active" year for him. Yousafzai is a 15-year-old activist who survived being shot in the head by Taliban soldiers that opposed her fight for equal-opportunity education in Pakistan. The fearless activist has no qualms about facing a literal firing squad in her fight for education. "Even if they come to kill me, I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong, that education is our basic right," she said recently. Yousafzai's efforts were recognized by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, who declared November 10 "Malala Day" in an effort to draw attention to the global struggle for women's education. "Malala courageously risked everything to stand up against the brutal forces that tried to silence her. In the face of intensely dangerous opposition, she refuses to stop fighting for equality, and at just 15 years old, is already an icon for her generation and the world," said Stephen Freidman, president of MTV. "mtvU is proud to shine a spotlight on her, and on Frank Ocean, whose boundary-shattering music and commitment to personal expression has touched and inspired millions. He refused to let homophobia stop him, and the cultural impact of his work will echo for years to come."

【新闻】昆汀解释法海从其新片原声带中消失的原因 In an interview with GQ that was released last week, Frank Ocean said that he had written a song for the new Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained. With the soundtracks tracklist released earlier this week, Frank Ocean was noticeably missing from the soundtrack. Quentin Tarantino want to set the record straight so he’s released a statement explaining what happened. Frank Ocean wrote a fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every way, there just wasn’t a scene for it. I could have thrown it in quickly just to have it, but that’s not why he wrote it and not his intention. So I didn’t want to cheapen his effort. But, the song is fantastic, and when Frank decides to unleash it on the public, they’ll realize it then. The album will be released December 18 so let’s hope Frank decides to liberate the track he recorded in time for Christmas.

【新闻】Big Boi Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors Details Next month, OutKast rapper Big Boi releases his second solo album Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors, and we’ve already heard a bunch of songs: “She Said OK,” “Gossip,” “Mama Told Me,” “Lines.” Apparently, though, we did not know just how far this album was going to go. We now have the Big Boi tracklist, and it’s almost stunningly heavy on left-field indie rock collaborations. There is, for example, a track with Wavves. It’s basically impossible to imagine how a Big Boi/Wavves collab might sound, and it’s even harder to imagine it being any good. Big Boi’s track record speaks for itself, but this tracklist has just a whiff of creeping doom to it. Beyond thue Wavves thing, the album also has contributions from Little Dragon, Jai Paul, Kid Cudi, T.I., Ludacris, Bosko, and many others. There’s also a reunion with protege-turned-adversary-turned-friend Killer Mike, and three different Phantogram collabs. Phantogram: The new Andre 3000! Check out the tracklist below, and help us in trying to figure out what the hell is going on here. TRACKLIST: 01 “Ascending” 02 “The Thickets” (Feat. Sleepy Brown) 03 “Apple Of My Eye” 04 “Objectum Sexuality” (Feat. Phantogram) 05 “In The A” (Feat. T.I. & Ludacris) 06 “She Hates Me” (Feat. Kid Cudi) 07 “CPU” (Feat. Phantogram) 08 “Thom Pettie” (Feat. Little Dragon & Killer Mike) 09 “Mama Told Me” (Feat. Kelly Rowland) 10 “Lines” (Feat. A$AP Rocky & Phantogram) 11 “Shoes For Running” (Feat. B.o.B. & Wavves) 12 “Raspberries” (Feat. Mouche & Scar) 13 “Tremendous Damage” (Feat. Bosko) 14 “Descending” (Feat. Little Dragon) 15 “Higher Res” (Feat. Jai Paul & Little Dragon) (Deluxe) 16 “Gossip” (Feat. UGK & Big K.R.I.T.) (Deluxe) 17 “She Said OK” (With Theophilus London, Feat.

【新闻】Frank Ocean Had A 'Peaceful But Active Year' Frank Ocean isn't a man of many words, unless they come pouring out in song, but that's what we love about him, right? The singer/songwriter hitGQ's Men of the Year party in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, where he managed to sum up his entire year in about seven words while walking the red carpet. "It's a real peaceful but active year," he told MTV News. "So it's cool. I'm just excited to be here, thanks to GQ magazine." Peaceful isn't exactly the word we would've used to describe Ocean's year, but he certainly knows better. The 25-year-old surprised fans this summer when he opened up about his sexuality via Tumblr and then released his debut studio album, Channel Orange, landing at #2 on the charts in his first week and earning much critical acclaim. Since then, he's been busy, spending time in the studio with heavyweights like Jay-Z and Pharrell. When asked about the overwhelming number of artists who want to work with him these days, he responded, "That's not a problem. It's not, like, a tragedy. It's cool, it's awesome, it just means people f--- with me, and that's cool." Last month, Ocean posted a stream of random thoughts on his Tumblr page in the form of a letter. In it, he gave fans some insight into what he was thinking during his studio session with Jay and Skateboard P. "I sat in the studio days ago with Jiggaman and Pharrell. Pharrell looks 19. They seemed like old friends," he wrote. "I wonder how many trophies are logged in their mind. I wonder why they still build. I build things for the sport and the therapeutic benefits. For immortality biiiitch."

【新闻】枪姐赞法海是大众需要的声音 Alicia Keys graces the cover of Complex Magazines latest issue and in her cover story she revisits the now infamous letter Frank Ocean wrote earlier this year. She briefly spoke on the topic previously but this time she has a bit more to say. During the drive she talks about music in a soft voice. Alicia’s been listening to Frank Ocean lately. She appreciates his songwriting—he cowrote “One Thing” on her new album—and admires the courage of the open letter he wrote about his sexuality. “That was super brave and I’m so glad that he wrote it,” she says. “He is the voice for so many people. We’re all boxed in to these stupid things that we’re taught is the way we’re supposed to be and it’s so ridiculous. There are so many people that need a champion to assure them that no matter who you are, you are a beautiful person. That doesn’t change the fact that you’re talented or intelligent. Thank God that we have come to this place where we can actually know and be more open to the fact that people come in all different ways. And that’s great because it’s a very boring world otherwise.” As you read, Complex confirms that Frank cowrote the song “One Thing” on her upcoming album.

【新闻】Big Boi推迟新砖发行日期并释出专封 Outkast member Big Boi reveals the official cover for his upcoming ‘Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors’ album, and gives the project a new release date. Album delays and push backs have become quite normal on today’s music landscape, particularly within the hip hop music genre. Even the biggest names in rap fall victims to the release date delays, and the latest rapper to experience this is none other than Outkast member Big Boi. Although fans around the world were disappointed that Andre 3000 and Big Boi would not be teaming up for an Outkast reunion album this year, we were happy to find out that Big Boi would be releasing a new solo album by the end of the year. Titled ‘Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors,’ Big Boi originally gave the album a November release date, but now the ATLien have confirmed the album will officially release on December 11th. Big Boi recently teamed up with Kelly Rowland for the first single off the project called ‘Mama Told Me’

【新闻】格莱美前瞻之最佳新人 As the end of the year quickly happens, so does the inevitability that award show season is gearing up and will be in full swing. The mecca of music awards is of course the Grammy's, which will be held on February 10th in Los Angeles and broadcast on CBS. The actual list of nominations will be announced on December 5th at the annual nominatons special, which will be co-hosted by multiple Grammy winners LL Cool J and Taylor Swift. So who will be in the running for some of the top categories this year? One of the more coveted and highly controversial in recent years happens to be the award for Best New Artist. In the past two years alone Bon Iver (2012) and Esperanza Spalding (2011) have won, causing people to believe that the Grammy's tend to root for the underdog when picking their winners over heavy favorites like Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj. The five I have chosen merit what it is to be a Best New Artist for sure, and these are deserving and hopefully will be contenders when it is announced on December 5th. As in previous years, the Grammys seem to keep with a variety of nominees for Best New Artist in terms of genre. For their hip-hop nominee, they have definitely kept in tune with acts and artists that have become huge in the industry since their original nomination (Kanye West, J-Cole). This year's nominee could be a bevy of people from 2 Chainz to French Montana. Those are great of course, but the obvious choice here is Frank Ocean. The Odd Future member blew all of our minds away with his debut release "Channel Orange" which debuted at number two on the Billboard charts. Featuring several amazing songs like "Swim Good" and "Thinking Of You", it catapulted him to superstar level and was the best part of this years Video Music Awards as well. He announced before his album's release that he was bisexual, something that is considered by many as taboo in the hip-hop industry but since then hasn't stopped him and the naysayers have been quiet as well. This has been a great year for him and this is a guaranteed nomination for the hip-hop ingenue. There also is a country nominee thrown in there as well. The country ones, just like hip-hop, have a hard time winning in this category as seen in recent years (Taylor Swift, The Band Perry). The one nominee that will be thrown in here could be American Idol winner Scotty McCreery or even duo Thompson Square. More than likely they will choose Hunter Hayes, who just picked this award up at the Country Music Awards this past week. The fresh faced 21 year old from Louisiana is giving Taylor Swift a run for her money in terms of youth, relatability and overall appeal for a younger audience. He hit number one on the country singles charts with his song "Wanted" and a well received self-titled debut album. Several artists over in Europe don't get US recognition until they are very well underway in their native country. These two artists are proof that success can be worth the wait, you just have to be patient. Back in 2011 on Saturday Night Live with Tina Fey as host, Ellie Goulding debuted herself to an American audience but the problem was it didn't give her the kickstart she hoped for. As time went by, her single "Lights" caught the attention of many radio stations and soon started gaining a big rotation on MTV and VH1's music channels as well. The album of the same name has been out for almost two years now, but the Grammys have a history of nominating people in this category that have been around for longer than one year. The song skyrocketed to number two on the US charts selling three million copies in a matter of months. Now with a new album out called "Halcylon" featuring the "Beats By Dre" commercial jingle and just as catchy first song "Anything Could Happen", there is no doubt she is the next big thing both overseas and here.
