Of course, that didn't end up happening, and fans seriously began to wonder if the album was ever coming out. Rumors surrounding Boys Don't Cry began to really surface all the way back in April 2015 when he announced the title of the album on his official Tumblr and website, and said that it was coming in July. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify.It Looks Like Frank Ocean’s New Album Is Coming in July The next six episodes of Dissect season three will be dedicated to Frank’s first proper album Channel Orange, highlighting the germination of his artistry, and the remaining ten episodes will explore Blonde. Some jobs Frank worked before making it big included being a claim processor at All State and a sandwich artist at Subway (which we’re sure is not the kind of artist young Frank envisioned himself being). We also revisit Frank’s days as a songwriter for other artists, hearing a snippet of his work on Brandy’s 2008 song “First Love.” There are also interesting tidbits like Frank forming the first name of his pseudonym from Frank Sinatra and the last name from the film Ocean’s Eleven. We see what led up to the unique release of the attention-grabbing mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra: Hurricane Katrina prompting Frank’s move to LA, his tumultuous relationship with his label Def Jam, his obsession with film leading to the inclusion of an Eyes Wide Shut monologue in a song. The first Frank-centric episode sees Cole explore the singer’s biographical life. The show is spearheaded by music journalist Cole Cuchna, who started the podcast by himself at home. The first focused on Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and the second Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly. The podcast series Dissect dedicates each new season to an important work of hip hop.
