Novacane (song)
"Novacane" is the debut single by American recording artist Frank Ocean. It was released as the lead single from his mixtape ''Nostalgia, Ultra''. The song was written by Ocean, Tricky Stewart and Victor Alexander, and produced by Stewart. Lyrically, the song narrates a tale of a young female dental student who makes a living doing porn and who recreationally uses local anesthetic drugs that she acquires from her place of study. The song explores themes of isolation, loneliness and a lack of feeling caused by numbness. The song received highly positive reviews from music critics and was listed as one of the best songs of the year by publications such as ''The New York Times'', ''Spin'', Ology, Zimbio and Pitchfork Media. Reviews praised the dark subject matter of the song, and praised Ocean's ability to create narratives and the sonic atmosphere of the track.
When ''Nostalgia, Ultra'' was expected to be released as an EP by Def Jam, "Novacane" was released as the first single, though the EP release was later cancelled. The song peaked at number 82 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and entered the top 10 on the Heatseekers Songs chart. The song received a music video directed by Australian director Nabil Elderkin released on June 16. The highly stylized video shows a long take of Ocean sitting around in a darkly lit room. Ocean performed the song during a show in New York with alternative hip hop group OFWGKTA, and during his seven show tour through North America and Europe. It was also performed during his 14 show ''Channel Orange'' tour through North America.
== Background ==
"Novacane" was written by Frank Ocean and Victor Alexander with co-writing by Tricky Stewart who also produced the track.〔Hyden, Steven (March 15, 2011). (Frank Ocean: Nostalgia, Ultra | Music | Music Review | The A.V. Club ). ''The A.V. Club''. Retrieved on 2011-06-17.〕 The song appears on his debut mixtape ''Nostalgia, Ultra'' which was released on February 18, 2011. When asked by The Quietus if the song drew from his personal experiences, Ocean commented that "I don't do cocaine for breakfast!", a reference to the lyrics from the song.〔 He continued, "My kitchen is usually pretty clean, you know. But you have fun with the imagery, and for me the whole concept that everything has to be… Like, nobody gets upset with a director when a director's film isn't about his life. People think that with a recording artist that shit has to be like a fucking play by play of their whole life, but it's not. It's imagery, and a little bit of satire." When asked if the song was an R&B track, Ocean replied that he disliked how that in the United States, "if you're a singer and you're black, you're an R&B artist. Period." Ocean stated that the song does contain R&B influences, though he didn't feel it wasn't entirely one in nature.〔 The track was released as a digital download on May 31, 2011 by Def Jam Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Novacane - Single by Frank Ocean - United States )〕
