Odd Future’s Frank Ocean may finally be preparing to unload new music to the masses as a previously unreleased song has seemed to leak online.
Buzz about an untitled Ocean tune landing across social media developed Monday (February 29).
The wait for Frank Ocean’s long-awaited new album could finally be coming to a close, or everyone is just getting their hopes up again. We can all hope it’s not the latter, as a snippet of what sounds like a new song from Ocean surfaced online last night, though not much is known about the recording. The song was uploaded to a random SoundCloud page and is a recording from what sounds like a studio, which means that the quality isn’t great at all. It appears that the recording may have come from a secret listening session, though it’s unclear where it took place. (Complex)
Back in November, pop icon Adele talked about wanting to hear Frank’s follow-up to 2012’s channel ORANGE album.
But it takes just a few minutes with her to see that silence isn’t exactly her natural state. “I’m just f*cking waiting for Frank f*cking Ocean to come out with his album,” she says. “It’s taking so f*cking long.” She blinks, pauses, laughs again. “That sounds so stupid, coming from me, doesn’t it?” (Rolling Stone)
Ocean broke big news to fans about his music comeback back in April.
Ocean’s camp almost immediately confirmed the big album plans.
This had the Internet quickly asking: What could this mean? A new magazine by Ocean? A new record by Ocean? Both? A rep for Ocean confirmed to Billboard it is indeed both: A new album and his own publication are due in July. The magazine is titled is Boys Don’t Cry while the album title has yet to be revealed.
