- Channel_Orange abstract "Channel Orange (stylized as channel ORANGE) is the debut studio album of American recording artist Frank Ocean, released on July 10, 2012, by Def Jam Recordings. After releasing his 2011 mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra, Ocean began writing the album with creative partner Malay, who assisted him with its recording at EastWest Studio in Hollywood. Ocean eschewed his mixtape's reliance on samples and wanted to approach sound and song structure differently on Channel Orange. He titled the album as a reference to the neurological phenomenon grapheme–color synesthesia and the color he perceived during the summer he first fell in love.Channel Orange has an unconventional musical style, film-inspired segue tracks, and influences from electro-funk, pop-soul, jazz-funk, and psychedelic music. Its songs are characterized by unconventional melodies, spatial arrangements, mid-tempo beats, and instruments such as electronic keyboards, muted percussion, and shifting synthesizers. Ocean's songwriting explores themes of unrequited love, sex, decadence, class, and drugs with empathic lyrics, surrealistic imagery, conversational devices, and descriptive narratives depicting dark characters. His subtle baritone singing on the album exhibits free-form flow and alternating falsetto and tenor registers.To prevent it from leaking onto the Internet, Ocean released the album digitally one week earlier than its publicly announced date. He promoted it with five singles, including his highest charting single "Thinkin Bout You", and a supporting tour in July 2012. Channel Orange debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 on sales of 131,000 copies and, by February 20, 2013, had sold 508,200 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It received rave reviews from music critics, who praised its idiosyncratic production, musical scope, and Ocean's songwriting, and was named the best album of the year by numerous publications.".

- Channel_Orange description "The confessional song incorporates gospel and baroque pop styles, and string dynamics corresponding to Ocean's vocal intonation. His lyrics touch on the conflict between pleasure and godliness, a common trope in R&B.".
- Channel_Orange description "The polyphonic song features faded synths, sweeping strings, and percussion buried in the mix. It is composed as a character sketch of a young parent, who sings his infant daughter to sleep.".

- Channel_Orange quote "The songs are confessional yet guarded, alive to all sorts of musical and lyrical possibilities, working in a number of genres within the space of a single composition, alert to both dream imagery and realistic observations of the world around him. As a Hollywood transplant, Frank Ocean is into make-believe – and the question of how you create and deconstruct make-believe.".
