It’s been almost a year since Frank Ocean announced that he was releasing a new album and several months since said album — titled Boys Don’t Cry — and its accompanying magazine was supposed to be released. While we’ve been teased with news (and a song or two) here and there, the collective music lover has essentially experienced letdown after letdown, so to speak.
Here’s the latest news story: Frank Ocean reportedly held a listening party in New York on Sunday, giving an exclusive crowd the first listen of the long-awaited project. In addition, some folks have been spreading the below leak around, which sounds like a cell phone, in-studio (read: super lo-fi) recording of a new song. Enjoy that while you still can. [There were other unreleased clips leaked, although most — if not all — have since been removed and taken down.]
Hopefully, the world will finally hear some new Frank Ocean music this year.
