After sending fans into a frenzy this morning (Aug 1), it looks like more details surrounding Frank Ocean‘s long awaited and highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Boys Don’t Cry,’ are leaking rapidly. Considering Frank loves to lead his fans on and change up thing at any given time, we will take this news with a grain of salt, but here it goes.
According to The New York Times, the album will arrive this Friday, August 5…
through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to a person with knowledge of the release plans. The release is also expected to include a major video and a printed publication called “Boys Don’t Cry” that will be distributed at Apple stores.
Mr. Ocean’s album is expected to remain exclusive to Apple for only two weeks before becoming more widely available, according to that person, who was not authorized to discuss the release plans and therefore spoke on condition of anonymity. But it is another coup for Apple, which has struck a series of deals with artists including Drake, Future, Chance the Rapper and the band The 1975, that have each given the company’s streaming service an early lock on a hot new record.
A spokesman for Mr. Ocean’s label, Def Jam, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The album will also reportedly be accompanied by a publication of the same name which Frank teased last year as well when he initially announced the album was underway. Let’s just hope he doesn’t change any plans before Friday!
An official single and video is also reportedly set to arrive by the weeks end! Stay tuned.
