Boys Don't Cry will be accompanied by a print magazine of the same name, which will be available at Apple stores, according to The New York Times. The follow-up to 2012's acclaimed R&B opus Channel Orange was announced through a Tumblr post last April, and tags associated with the post indicated that the album would be released in July 2015. The post also hinted at the aforementioned magazine release. Ocean remained silent regarding any more details about the album over the next few months, and fans worked themselves into a froth as the end of July neared. If your Twitter feed featured any R&B fans, you probably became privy to pictures and Vines of people sobbing and raging over the album's impending release and lack of information. When July came and went without new music, some fans refused to acknowledge the month's end until Boys Don't Cry hit their headphones. Now an entire year has gone by, but it seems like those fans might finally get their wish - as long as Ocean doesn't change his mind. We won’t acknowledge August until Frank Ocean stops playing. fZVFTbc98fĮarly this morning, Ocean's website was updated with a live stream hosted by Apple Music, which featured Ocean tinkering around in a woodworking shop. The mysterious video didn't give away much except for some brief clips of ambient music it's not clear if they were snippets from Boys Don't Cry. Ocean began his career as a songwriter-for-hire before connecting with the Los Angeles hip-hop collective Odd Future.


He released his first mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra, in February 2011, and it was feted for its omnivorousness and surreal, dreamy sense of personality.
