New Frank Ocean album? Frank hints that he's already sitting on one

For all the 'hurry up and release the album' flak that Frank Ocean gets from fans, he seems to quite enjoy stoking it.

Last month he teased that "if you liked two thousand and seventeen then you'll love two thousand and eighteen," and now he's added on Tumblr (sic): "Well made the album before 30. JUST AINT PUT THAT BITCH OUT!" quotes from an interview haven't given haha".

He's presumably referencing a tweet he wrote in 2012: "5 albums before 30."

His potential next LP would only be his fifth album if you count the Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape as an album, however.

As for "quotes from an interview I haven’t given," he's probably alluding to the fact he so rarely gives interviews or that he would be hesitant to make this promise if he did.

Frank cranked out standalone singles in quick succession over the past year - 'Chanel', 'Biking', Provider' and 'Lens' - so it's conceivable he does also have a new album's worth of content ready.

We'll update you as and when more cryptic words are put out into the ether.
