About the album
At the Latin American Music Awards recently held in Las Vegas, Ocean presented live Zero conditionsa song against impositions that in one verse says: “he who wants to come out, then let him come out of the closet.”
“It invites people to be who they want to be and be free,” he said. “I think I wrote it thinking a lot about how she felt living in Caracas many years ago and that whole environment.”
About coming out, he said that the song is not limited to just publicly revealing a sexual orientation.
“It is a very Venezuelan expression, for us coming out does not necessarily have to be something about gender, it is also like a saying that if you want to do something you have to do it for yourself,” he said. “If you want to do something in your life you have to go out and do it, you have to learn to face those fears and go out because no one is going to do it for you.”
Ocean is about to embark on an extensive tour of Mexico with dates in Guadalajara, Puebla, Mérida, Cancún, among other cities, as well as two nights at the Palacio de los Deportes in the capital.
