No new album from Frank Ocean

It is July 271st and there’s still no new Frank Ocean album. Well after a promised July 2015 release date Ocean has disappointed fans and critics alike with no album to listen to or critique.

Ocean’s official website, FrankOcean.com was updated and redirected users to boysdontcry.co. Twenty-four hours later, Ocean’s site was refreshed, now with merchandise and a few new tabs (VID/AUDIO/GET). Though inaccessible, these tabs give fans hope of possibly purchasing new music in the near future?

In April 2015, Ocean took to Tumblr to announce the return of his sophomore effort after popular and critical acclaim for 2012’s Channel Orange. “I got two versions. I got twooo versions…” and #JULY15. Well, Frank…tomorrow is April 1 and we’re still waiting! How could JU-LIE to us!?!?!

“Boys Don’t Cry,” the title of Ocean’s new album, will hopefully be released any day. Mega producers Rodney Jenkins and Hit-Boy have been confirmed as two of the albums co-creators. Legendary producer Rick Rubin was reportedly in the studio with Ocean but no details of whether he added any “Rick flare.”

With scarce information about Ocean’s new album and the occasional trolling from Ocean’s brother, Ryan Breaux, there’s no telling what we’re in store for or when the upcoming release date for Boys. By the end of this lifetime, hopefully, we’ll be able to bask in the glorious sounds of a new Frank Ocean album!
Ocean recently made a few headlines after coming out of hiding since the announcement of his album at Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 3 fashion show during New York Fashion Week in early February. Ocean appears on West’s latest studio release, “The Life Of Pablo,” on aptly titled track called, ‘Frank’s Track.’
