Frank Ocean fans are waiting at the edge of their seats for any new information on his next album. Itβs almost to the point where theyβll believe in anythingβeven a release date from an unreliable news source.
Earlier today, the Twitter account Snatched Bops tweeted that the elusive singerβs next album will be dropping Friday, June 3. It's easy to be fooled by these guys because they make their tweets look semi-official: Look at the one they did on Eminem's next studio album.
Naturally, Twitter went off when it heard the news.
This year, there have been many instances where it seemed possible that Ocean was ready to drop his sophomore effort. He appeared at Kanye Westβs Yeezy Season 3, which also doubled as a preview for The Life of Pablo, and featured on "Wolves" with Vic Mensa and Sia. Then there was a snippet of a new song that was uploaded randomly on SoundCloud. It appeared to come from a secret listening session.
There have been several collaborators who shared their insight on Oceanβs new material. James Blake said it is absolutely worth the wait, noting, "He is onto something, he really is." Chance the Rapper also spoke about the whereabouts of Frank and explained why heβs been so hard to find lately: "I know heβs away making a masterpiece. I think that Frank is very, very focused on his catalogue. Anything that you hear him on thatβs a feature was recorded a long time agoβ¦ I donβt think Frank is working on anyoneβs stuff except for his own."
Rumors or facts, it just means everyone wants a new Frank Ocean album ASAP.
