It's nowhere near July, when Frank Ocean was supposed to drop his new album.
Just when fans are starting to lose hope that the "Channel Orange" singer would release a new record, a new development happens.
Apparently, Frank Ocean is working or has worked with Sebastian for his new album.
In his interview with Les inRocks, Ed Banger Records owner, Pedro Winter, accidentally revealed how the two are collaborating when he was asked about the future of his label.
"Sebastian has just finished producing a few tracks for Frank Ocean - a truly exciting partnership - and he will finally be able to rest on his second album," he revealed.
But in another statement, this time from Fader, Winter immediately backtracked his comments claiming that he has no further knowledge about Frank Ocean and Sebastian working together.
"SebastiAn met Frank Ocean few times, that's all we know. For further infos please contact Frank's management," he said.
Apparently, Fader tried to contact Ocean's reps, but they did not deny nor confirm the said collaboration.
While Winter did not explain why he had to backtrack his statement, Music Times noted that he could be under pressured by Ocean's team.
"Maybe he is being pressured by Ocean's team to keep the album under wraps as best they can. It is also possible that the two didn't complete any new music," the publication explained.
And while Frank Ocean's new album with the supposed title of "Boys Don't Cry" remains uncertain, there are ongoing speculations that he might just be preparing for a big surprise release just like what Beyonce did.
As of now together with his album, Frank Ocean is also MIA. In fact, fans are starting to worry about his real condition, The Verge reported.
"As may already be obvious to you, it is no longer July," the report stated. "It is also no longer the month after July. It is, in fact, September, and people are starting to get worried about the location and well-being of Mr. Ocean."
Ocean, who is supposed to perform in FYF Fest decided to back out releasing an official announcement to Billboard claiming,
"Frank Ocean has decided on his own terms to cancel his appearance," it said.
"With a lineup that already includes Morrissey, D'Angelo and the Vanguard, FKA Twigs, Chet Faker, Flume, Belle & Sebastian and more, FYF Fest is excited to have Kanye West play this weekend in his newly adopted home of Los Angeles."
The question remains, Where is Frank Ocean and where is his new album?
