Back in 2013, Frank Ocean won the Grammy Award for the Best Urban Contemporary Album, beating Chris Brown and Miguel – both of whom remained seated during the standing ovation when Ocean collected the award.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Miguel discusses his relationship with Ocean after the singers bump into each other in a hotel bar in London. “I wouldn’t say we were friends,” Miguel says. “To be completely honest — and no disrespect to anyone — I genuinely believe that I make better music, all the way around.”
When asked about the frequent comparisons to The Weeknd and Frank Ocean, Miguel says: “It’s interesting, but we’ll see who’s in it for the long haul. It’s like a marathon, you know?”
Miguel recently released his third studio album Wildheart. In April, a rep for Frank Ocean confirmed that his new album and publication would be released this month. See Miguel’s forthcoming UK tour dates below
