If you say so: Don’t July to me baby - Frank Ocean’s new album might be out in “maybe a month”

Remember last July? The sun was high in the sky, Thom Yorke turned up at Latitude, and we all sat around waiting for a Frank Ocean album that never came. Cheers Frank.

Eight months later, though, there might be a light at the end of this ever-expanding tunnel - Ocean’s producer Malay (real name James Ho) has stated that the follow-up to ‘Channel Orange’ may arrive in “maybe a month.”

Speaking to Pitchfork, Ho stated, “I always tell people: When he’s ready, the world is gonna get it. It could be tomorrow… well not tomorrow but maybe a month.”

“We’ve all been working hard,” he continues. “He’s been working super hard. I feel like he’s working harder than he’s ever worked in his life. I’m excited for everyone to hear it. I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised, for sure.”

After all that July-based excitement, Frank launched a website in August of last year that seemed to suggest his second LP was imminent. But nope. Still nothing. He was in a studio in January, and recently appeared on Kanye’s under-the-radar new album ‘The Life Of Pablo’. But nope. Still no second record.

We’ll meet you back here in “maybe a month”, to discuss where the hell it’s got to this time.
