Frank Ocean has been somewhat of an enigma over the past few years, he seemed to disappear not long after releasing his 2012 album "Channel Orange", which was met with widespread critical acclaim. He has been teasing the release a new album, reportedly originally titled "Boys Don't Cry" for a few weeks now, leaving fans feeling anxious and slightly annoyed as he continues to fail to meet his own deadlines. Apple music released a statement to say that "Endless" is a "visual album" and is not necessarily music from his upcoming second studio album. They also told Pitchfork to "keep an eye out this weekend for more from Frank", but after his recent behaviour, I don't think any of us should be holding our breath.
A web stream which began around two weeks ago had been playing on Frank Ocean's website and the rapper returned to it last night to assemble wooden boxes that he had made into a spiral staircase. How mysterious. "Boys Don't Cry" will reportedly be accompanied by some sort of print publication upon its release, however, the status of the album continues to be unclear.
