Moreover the eject symbol could allude to Ocean feeling marginalised due to his sexual orientation. The upside down eject button, in relation to binary opposition connotes reference to Ocean’s homosexuality, as he is the opposite of his intended sexual orientation. Moreover this label can be used to establish what genre the album belongs to, typically, albums with this label belong to the Hip-hop genre which this album belongs to.Ĭhannel Orange’s disc has an upside down eject button depicted on it, the mise en scene of this can be interpreted as Ocean coming out as homosexual, moreover this eject button is iconic of the 90s as CD’s were very prominent during the 90s and early 2000s, in addition to this R&B music was very popular during the 90s and early 2000s. In the bottom hand right corner, the cover has a parental advisory label, which is used to show the use of excessive profanities and inappropriate references. Orange is used as the background colour, this choice of colour and the title of the album combined help establish the themes and meanings of it.
