Frank Ocean Fans Can’t Decide If They Want New Music After He Teases Studio Return 

Frank Ocean caused a major stir among his fanbase after seemingly teasing a return to the studio. 

Earlier this week, Ocean gave fans the first hint in years that he might be working on new music. He popped up on Instagram with a teaser that had his followers anticipating a follow-up to his No.1 album 2016’s Blonde.  

Ocean posted a photo on his Instagram Story of himself playing the guitar. He also followed up on Tuesday (July 30) with a captionless selfie. Although he said nothing about the cryptic posts, his fans took it as a sign of an impending new Frank Ocean album. 

The singer/rapper began trending on social media, with his fans debating over whether they’re delusional for wanting new music or if his hiatus was so long they stopped caring.  

“We as a society have moved past the need for Frank Ocean,” one person declared, prompting another to question, “In the era of 23 minute debut albums we as a society don’t need Frank Ocean?”  

Another person said, “frank ocean fans are so delusional & deprived cuz why this one picture make us all happy as hell.”  

“i know frank ocean was manically laughing posting that picture of him in the studio knowing damn well he’s not putting out s###,” said a third.  

Last year, Frank Ocean performed live for the first time in eight years, headlining the Coachella festival. However, he canceled his set on the second weekend of the festival after a “chaotic” first show where he suffered an ankle injury.
