Frank Ocean, favorito para los premios Grammy
Frank Ocean se ha erigido como protagonista en las nominaciones a los premios Grammy 2013. Consiguiendo un total de 6 menciones. Y todas en las categorías principales. En segundo lugar, The Black Keys.
Algo realmente meritorio para un jovencísimo artista que con 25 años se ha convertido en la revelación del año con su álbum de debut, 'Channel Orange', tras años de ser un 'escritor fantasma' de canciones para gente como Justin Bieber. No obstante, el camino (hola, competencia) no ha sido fácil para Frank Ocean, ya que hace solo unos meses anunciaba su homosexualidad a los medios, siendo de los pocos artistas negros reconocidamente gay.
Frank Ocean dirigirá su primera pelÃcula
Nuevo tema de Frank Ocean: 'Sweet Life'
The Black Keys y su disco 'El Camino' son los grandes competidores del cantante de Nueva Orleans, con otras seis nominaciones, aunque con algunas categorías menores. Entre los otros favoritos, gente como Jack White o Mumford & Sons.
