It’s been three and a half since Frank Ocean released his first album Channel Orange and music fans are getting desperate for him to return.
Rumours are swirling a new FO track – or even an album – could be dropped any day.
Frank isn’t playing ball. It’s four months since he posted a blog post reading ‘#july2015’. July came and went, still nada. Not only is staying schtum, he’s so quiet, he could have taken a trip to Mars.
But more frothing has ensued this week after producer A-Trak announced on Twitter:
@atrak yup

The speculation it refers to Frank comes from how much the gifted artist loves his cars and a story about his cousin saying to a mate to ‘remember the words White Ferrari’.
We all like to take things to the extreme on Twitter but to say Frank’s fans are getting impatient is an understatement.
Some can’t bear the thought of 2016 without him

Is he locked in a cryosleep?
The year is 2015: Frank Ocean attaches his new album to an email but forgets to hit "send" and then lays down to enter deep cryosleep

Is he playing the most ridiculous game of hide and seek?

Even Adele is pining (and she loves a break)

Was he ever really here?
I think it's time we just admit that Frank Ocean was a figment of our collective imagination and move on.
