After a grim, Frank Ocean-less July, and an internet-wide meltdown over yesterday’s mysterious livestream, the wait may finally be over for the singer’s long-awaited album Boys Don’t Cry, as reports say it’s due out on Friday.

According to The New York Times, the singer’s second studio album will stream exclusively on Apple Music from August 5, information obtained from an inside source who had to remain anonymous to discuss the release plans.

A major video and “Boys Don’t Cry” printed publication will also be released and distributed in Apple Stores. An image released on Ocean’s website last year showed him beside a stack of magazines, with what was reportedly himself kitted out in racing gear on the cover.

As the source states, Boys Don’t Cry will stream exclusively on Apple for two weeks, a deal other artists like Future, Drake and Chance the Rapper have all engaged in with the music corp.

Monday’s livestream, which showed some workbenches in an otherwise empty room with some brief shots of a mysterious man chopping wood to ambient music, was touted as a loop made by director Francisco Soriano (who’s worked with Ocean before) in a now-deleted Instagram post. The Apple Music logo was however visible on the stream, lending more to the idea the album stream is imminent.

The New York Times reached out to both Ocean’s label Def Jam and Apple, but received no comment.

Since the enigmatic singer’s hailed debut Channel Orange back in 2012, Ocean has been in and out of music sporadically. The name for his second album was announced three years ago, and since then he’s been silently working, only popping up in work with his peers and in lo-fi YouTube leaks that were swiftly pulled down. He wrote alongside James Blake for The Colour in Anything and appeared on Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo.

Ocean’s producer Malay claimed before that the album was “maybe a month away” in March.

An update to the singer’s website, which showed a library due-date slip with stamped dates and the title ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ recently caused mass frenzy when fans began to speculate upcoming dates for the release.

Though we’ve got everything crossed in the hope that the album’s finally here, we won’t hold our breath just yet for fear of more infinite disappointment.
