Speaking with BBC Radio 1 host Zane Lowe yesterday, Ocean revealed he's already "like 10, 11 songs" deep into the project. "It's another cohesive thing, bordering on a concept record again," said Ocean. "At the end of Channel Orange, there's 'Golden Girl,' and it's this beach scene. And I kind of want it to extend that feel into the next record all together, kind of make it that theme." 50 Best Albums of 2012: Frank Ocean, 'Channel Orange' Ocean said he plans to rent a place in Bora Bora to work on the new record after this trip to London.

The worldwide success of "Baby, Baby," the first single from her first secular album, proved she could make the transition. Although the song — written about her 2-year-old daughter, Millie — helped Grant make the crossover, she insisted she didn't forget her spiritual side. "It wasn't a case of my falling off the deep end or losing my faith; I just wanted to try new things." More Song Stories entries »
