With a newly certified gold record and six nominations at this weekend’s Grammy Awards, Frank Ocean has a lot on his mind. The New York Times Magazine published an extended interview with the young crooner today and, sure enough, he’s as poetic as ever.

Ocean shares his thoughts on music journalists:

None

On religion:

None

On art:

None

And on his public persona:

None

Ocean also discusses his plans for the future, saying that after the Grammys he’s off to Shanghai to do some writing “in remote locations for the next two years.” Music is no longer his only creative outlet, either, apparently, as he has “started writing the book... It’s fiction, and it’s about brothers. That’s all I’m going to say.” Head overhere to read the whole story and, if you haven’t already, pick up Channel Orange on Def Jam.
