Don't July to me baby - a timeline of Frank Ocean's 'Boys Don't Cry'

In-depth Don’t July to me baby - a timeline of Frank Ocean’s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’

We’ve chronicled all the back and forths leading to Ocean’s second album.

Remember July 2015? Frank Ocean’s new album ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ - aka the most anticipated album in the world for over a year now - was supposed to be out before the end of the month. Here we are exactly a year later, with another hint that July’s the time it will drop. There’s been a slow drip-feed of information in the past twelve months (and for quite a while before that), but Ocean is a reclusive fellow when he’s working on new material it seems. July ends this Sunday, and we may or may not have a new Frank Ocean album in the world by then. If it’s the latter, see you back here, July 2017, and spend that time reading our timeline of everything that’s lead us to this point with ‘Boys Don’t Cry’.
