Frank Ocean’s New Album ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ Is Coming Out This Week

FINALLY.

Tuesday, August 2, 2016 - 15:55

The follow-up to the 2012’s brilliant channel ORANGE is finally dropping. Frank Ocean's new album, Boys Don’t Cry, will be available this Friday (as Golf Media appeared to confirm) as an Apple Music exclusive.

According to The New York Times, the release will include a major video and a printed publication called Boys Don’t Cry, which is surely the magazine we've all seen images of before. There’s no word on whether a novel, as was rumoured, will also be included. DAMN IT FRANK, WHY ARE YOU SO MYSTERIOUS.

The new album is expected to be an Apple Music exclusive for two weeks, before being made more widely available.

Yesterday, Frank Ocean launched a mysterious live stream which is still running today over at his website. To be honest, not much happened in it, but even footage of Frank Ocean sawing bits of wood into smaller bits of wood was enough to send people on Twitter a little nuts, and we can’t blame them. We spent a lot of our working hours yesterday staring at the stream and listening to the heavenly string music that accompanied the visuals.

Boys Don’t Cry is one of the year’s most anticipated albums, and marks the first album from Frank Ocean in four years. The build up to this new record has been long, arduous and full of teasers. Here’s hoping that Frank can deliver the goods and match this hurricane of hype come Friday.

I think I started something
I got what I wanted
did didn't I can't feel nothing
Superhuman, even when i'm fucking
Viagra popping, every single record
Auto-tuning, zero emotion, muted emotion
Pitch corrected
Computed emotion, uh huh

I blame it on a model broad with the hollywood smile
Oww, stripper booty and rack like wow
Brain like berkeley
Met her at Coachella, I went to see Jigga
She went to see z-trip
Perfect, I took a seat on the ice cold lawn
She handed me a ice blue bong, whatever

She said she wanna be dentist really badly
She's in school paying, for tuition doing porn in the valley
At least she working

But girl i can't feel my face
What are we smoking anyway
She said don't let the high go to waste
But can you taste, a little taste

Novacane
Baby, Baby
Novacane baby i want you
Fuck me good, Fuck me long, Fuck me numb
Love me now when i'm gone love me none
Love me none, love me none
Numb numb numb numb

Sink full of dishes
Pacing in the kitchen
Cocaine for breakfast, Yikes
Bed full of women
Flip on a tripod
little red light on shooting, I'm feeling like
Stanley Kubrick
This is some visionary shit
Been tryna film pleasure with my eyes wide shut
But it keeps on moving...

I blame it on a model broad with the hollywood smile
Stripper booty with the rack like wow
I'll never forget ya
You put me on a feel that i never had, never had, never had
and ever since I've been tryna get it back
and pick it up, and put it back

Now i'm something like the chemist on campus
But there's no drug around
Quite like what i found in you you

I still can't feel my face (oh-oh)
What am i smoking anyway (ah-ah)
She said don't let the high go to waste
But can you taste, a little taste a...

Novacane, baby baby
Novacane baby i want you
Fuck me good
Fuck me long
Fuck me numb
Love me now when i'm gone love me none
Love me none love me none
numb, numb, numb, numb

Novacane, Novacane, Novacane, Novacane, Novacane ...
Numb the pain, numb the pain
Numb the pain, numb the pain, numb the pain...
Novacane, Novacane, Novacane, Novacane, Novacane...
For the pain, for the pain...
Novacane, novacane

Pretty girls involved with me
Making pretty love to me, pretty
Pity, pity
All the pretty girls involved with me
Making pretty love to me, pretty
Pity, pity
Ooh ooh, I can't feel a thing
I can't feel, can't feel a thing
Can't feel a thing
Can't feel feel feel feel her
I Can't feel feel her
Novacane Novacane Novacane
I can't feel feel her
Novacane, for the pain, for the pain
I can't can't feel her (feel her, feel her)
Ooh, Novacane Novacane (cane, cane...)
