In hopes of explaining the album’s absence, music producer Malay took to reddit to address Ocean fans regarding the delayed released of album Boys Don’t Cry. Not to mention, this isn’t the only release expected from Frank as the 45 minute visual album is rumored to be followed up by something else this weekend.

Many of musician Frank Ocean’s devotees didn’t thing they would live to see the day their favourite released new music.
There is one caveat, however.
The 18-track visual album will be streamed exclusively on Apple Music. When it first appeared, fans were expecting the release of “Boys Don’t Cry” after reports surfaced that the album would be out on August 5.
Unfortunately, that was the most Malay would open up about Ocean’s new project. If you don’t have Apple Music, you can check it out on Vimeo below! “Boys Don’t Cry”, which has been given a new title, will be out this weekend. Songs on Endless include Ocean’s cover of the Isley Brothers’ “At Your Best (You Are Love)”, which the reclusive R&B star released to his Tumblr page in 2015 on what would have been Aaliyah’s 36th birthday.
Since releasing Channel Orange in July 2012, Ocean’s profile has risen considerably.

But Frank though! Keeps us waiting for four years and then drops two pieces in three days – imagine. To be fair though, art can not be rushed. A figure believed to be Ocean surfaced in the video a number of times, cutting wood and building several small structures which are now sitting in the middle of the room. It’s about making sure the ideal aesthetic for the situation has been reached, to do that, takes constant tweaking, trial and error. “That goes for any creative situation”.
