Where Is Frank Ocean?

Where Is Frank Ocean?

By Carly Polay

Frank Ocean has currently been MIA and his fans are angry and hurt. The public has heard very little from Frank Ocean in a very long time. His most recent work was on “Wolves” by Kanye West on Kanye’s latest album TLOP. In this song, Frank had a small part and it wasn’t even his own music. However, fans were just happy to know that he was doing something involving music. People love and want more music so badly because he writes most of his own songs and you can feel the emotions throughout the music. On Thursday, June 2nd, Twitter exploded in excitement when rumors occurred saying that the long-awaited album would be released on Friday, June 3rd. Fans were excited and ready for any new song. However, no album or even a song were released and once again Frank Ocean disappointed his fans.

In July of 2015, the singer told his fans that the album would be released sometime that month. People waited everyday for any news and received nothing. The last big album was “channel ORANGE” in 2012, and this was what made him so famous. This insanely good album won the “Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album”, “GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Music”, “Soul Train Music Award for Album of The Year”, and many others.

“I always wonder what Frank Ocean could possibly be doing. His last main album was released in 2012 and that is too long without anything new. His fans love him but I’m starting to give up on him. It has been way too long,” says Danielle Darpino, senior.

Everyday, more and more fans grow angry at the fact that they are being promised an album and have yet to receive anything. In a month, it will be a year since Frank Ocean told his fans the album would be out soon. Rumor has it that the new album will be called “Boys Don’t Cry”. Will we ever be able to hear this album? Celebrities friends with Frank have listened to the album. Chance the Rapper and James Blake have both heard it and have told reporters that it is amazing and different. We will just have to wait and see.
