After conquering the Billboard charts, Frank Ocean has set his sights on a new challenge: nightlife.
Suggested Reading
Pitchfork reports that the elusive vocalist will be debuting his own queer club night in New York City on Thursday night as a collaborative effort between his own Blonded brand and the popular Gayletter.
โPrEP+ is the first in a series of nights; an ongoing safe space made to bring people together and dance,โ Gayletter announced on Instagram. โPrEP+ will welcome globally celebrated DJs.โ
PrEP+ takes its name from the HIV prevention drug Pre-exposure Prophylaxis and seeks to serve as an homage to โwhat could have been of the 1980s NYC club scene if the drug PrEP had been invented in that era.โ
For those interested in attending, apparently tickets have already been distributed with the location to be revealed Thursday night. Additionally, those in the building might be in for a special treat.
Though we havenโt heard any new music from Ocean since โCarousel,โ his generous contribution to Travis Scottโs Astroworld, he recently mentioned heโs in the lab working on his next album, which, according to Pitchfork, will be heavily influenced by โDetroit, Chicago, techno, house, French electronicโ and other โiterations of nightlife.โ So those in attendance might be in for a taste test of whatโs to come from the 31-year-oldโs upcoming release.
