Frank Ocean's new album 'Boys Don't Cry' is reportedly out this week

After now years of speculation and rumours, it finally looks like Frank Ocean is ready to deliver his long-awaited follow-up to 2012's 'Channel Orange', although it does look like it comes with a few strings attached.

According to the New York Times, “a person with knowledge of the release plans” has announced that the new album, 'Boys Don't Cry', will be available from this Friday (5th August) as a two-week exclusive through Apple Music. Meaning non-Apple users will still have to wait before it gets a full release.

Although Frank and his label Def Jam are yet to confirm this, given his recent activity, it surely isn't far away now. We've heard nothing of the new album yet so get reacquainted with the man and his brilliant single 'Thinkin Bout You' below.
