In an exciting development for fans, Grammy-winning artist Frank Ocean has shared a tantalizing glimpse of new music, showcased in a vlog by his rumored partner, UFC fighter Payton Talbott. The YouTube montage, crafted by Talbott, features a previously unreleased track from Ocean, evoking the sonic essence of his critically acclaimed album, Blonde.
The snippet, just 36 seconds long, captures Ocean’s signature introspective style, with lyrics that resonate deeply: “I read your diary, every line / I wanna drink your words like wine.” This brief audio experience has left listeners eager for more.
Despite the long wait since his last album release in 2016, Ocean has kept the music flowing through his Blonded Radio show on Apple Music, where he has unveiled various unreleased tracks. Recently, he hinted at being actively engaged in the studio, working on new material. His collaborator Pharrell Williams confirmed this during a conversation with Zane Lowe, stating, “You know he’s cooking. Frank stays in the kitchen. And it’s probably the reason why he doesn’t serve as much. He really enjoys the culinary process.”
Frank Ocean and Payton Talbott: Romance Rumors Gain Momentum
On the personal front, rumors of Ocean’s relationship with Payton Talbott have been circulating since last year, gaining momentum around Valentine’s Day when Ocean shared a heartfelt post featuring Talbott. In a reciprocal gesture, Talbott displayed a video of a shirtless Ocean at the gym, further fueling speculation about their bond.
The relationship rumors began last summer when the pair was spotted enjoying lunch together. Interest in their connection intensified earlier this year when a friend of Talbott claimed the fighter had shared more than just a meal with the openly queer singer. During a lighthearted interview, Talbott’s friend joked, “He did more than that… I got his fucking lyrics tattooed on me and he’s over here kissing Payton.”
The relationship was further affirmed when Ocean was seen supporting Talbott at UFC 311, where he cheered for his partner during an intense match against Raoni Barcelos, posting a photo of Talbott cooking dinner shortly after.
