According to the rumor mill, the long wait for Frank Ocean’s upcoming album Boys Don’t Cry may be coming to an end.
According to The New York Times, Frank’s long-awaited Boys Don’t Cry LP is dropping this Friday, August 5. The 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.
The record will be accompanied by a “major video” and printed publication — also called Boys Don’t Cry — that will be available at Apple stores.
Neither Apple nor Def Jam have confirmed the report, but so far no one’s stopped the release reports.
