While making his critically acclaimed album "channel ORANGE," Frank Ocean studied R&B legends like Stevie Wonder. For his next offering, the singer is drawing inspiration from a different source.

Ocean has apparently been listening to '60s bands such as The Beatles and the Beach Boys to prep for his next album.

"When I was making the first album there were a group of artists that I listened to, just for inspiration and to absorb the energies," Ocean explained. "It was a lot of Stevie Wonder, and this time it's a lot of Beach Boys and Beatles and whatnot, so we'll see how it trickles into the music and the final product. I can't say much other than that."
