Frank Ocean releases “Lost” music video
Frank Ocean has released a music video for “Lost,” the fourth single from his July 2012 debut studio album, Channel Orange. The split-screen collage follows Ocean as he jet-sets between famous locations around the world, intercut with footage from his Channel Orange Tour and various recording studio sessions. Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator and Jasper Dolphin also make brief cameos in the travel diary. The panoramic production mimics the look of film and videotape, giving it a retro aesthetic.
On April 12, 2013, Ocean uploaded the official video on Vimeo and posted a link on Tumblr with the caption:
Summer 2012.
