Frank Ocean Reveals He Gets His Unique Style from Joan Rivers

Frank Ocean Reveals He Gets His Unique Style from Joan Rivers

Frank Ocean is on the cover of W Magazine‘s new issue celebrating “The New Originals.”

The 31-year-old singer shares the cover with up-and-coming Spanish singer Rosalia. Here is what they shared with the mag:

Frank on finding his unique style: “[Joan Rivers] Rest in Peace. My legend…She was Sick! I mean, unapologetic. I think that ‘F–k who sees me’ energy, ‘This is what I am giving. Period’ is what I relate to in ballroom culture – it’s this extroversion manifest.”

Frank on what gave him the desire to pursue music as a career: “I remember feeling no attachment to music necessarily, more an attachment to what music could bring if I succeeded, you know financially. And that meant freedom from my situation at the time, and maybe what I was projecting onto my own future.”

Rosalia on her childhood growing up in Barcelona: “I would always change my Barbies. I’d cut their hair, paint on tattoos, and create new clothes for them. I would invent elaborate stories: fights, dramas, successes. I would try out my ideas on them and sometimes they would sing!”
