Fans speculate that mysterious Frank Ocean video could mean a new album will follow

For more than a year, fans of the critically acclaimed rapper Frank Ocean have awaited the follow up to his 2012 debut studio album, Channel Orange. Ocean's sophomore release, thought to be titled Boys Don't Cry, was teased in July 2015 and again in July 2016, although to no concrete results.

Video posted early Monday to Ocean's website, though, appears to show a loop of someone working in an empty warehouse, ramping up speculation once again:

"But what will follow the video? Some kind of visual album made by the pair a la Lemonade? Frank's delight in f--king with us knows no bounds," The Independent writes.
