Frank Ocean Has a New Album and Magazine Coming This Summer
EntertainmentOn Monday night, singer Frank Ocean teased the release of a new album and magazine, set to be released in July. While no titles have been announced, the magazine, pictured with Ocean in a post on Tumblr, may be called Boys Don’t Cry.
“I got two versions. I got twoooo versions,” Ocean wrote, along with the hashtags “#ISSUE1 #ALBUM3 #JULY2015 #BOYSDONTCRY.” His rep confirmed to Billboard that a new album and magazine are imminent.
The New Orleans-born, Los Angeles-based alt-R&B artist released his first album, channel ORANGE, in 2012, a follow-up to his acclaimed 2011 mixtape Nostalgia, ultra. Just before his major label debut, Ocean hinted that his first love was a man in a note on his Tumblr, setting the Internet and the music industry abuzz. Since then, you’ve probably been listening to his songwriting and background singing on Beyoncé’s “Superpower.”
