Every day, since 2012, there’s been a faithful fan talking to a friend, a co-worker or a parent, posting a tweet or composing an article, posing the same question: “Where is Frank Ocean and will he please take my money so I can hear this album?!” Since the release of his epic, and as some would put it “life-changing” album Channel Orange, Ocean has yet to share any new music with the world.

However, the wait may be over! Rumors have surfaced that the “Thinking About You” singer is preparing to release his sophomore project on Friday, titled Boys Don’t Cry.
