The Wait Is Over - Frank Ocean's New Album Is Reportedly Set To Drop This Week

It's finally coming.

More Frank Ocean Frank Ocean

It's been four years since US artist Frank Ocean has released a new album (even though it feels like a lifetime given the hints and teases we've been handed), but the wait is finally over because the acclaimed songwriter is reportedly set to drop his sophomore LP Boys Don't Cry this Friday.

According to The New York Times, the record is to be released through an exclusive deal with Apple Music which will also coincide with a major video and printed publication called 'Boys Don’t Cry' that will be distributed at Apple stores.

It is reported that the album will be exclusive to Apple Music for two weeks before going public. 

A recently-created website is also teasing the release — check it out here.

The hugely-anticipated album is the follow up to Ocean's critically-acclaimed and Grammy Award-winning debut effort, Channel Orange, released in 2012.

Waiting for Friday to come back around has never been more painful.
