Frank Ocean Is Back With A Second Album

Sultry and smooth R&B star, Frank Ocean, has social media up in a frenzy. Everyone seems to be talking about the long-awaited second album.

The last four years have been a long wait for fans. The last album – Channel Orange – was critically acclaimed and found an audience that loved him immediately. It’s hard not to fall for the warm vocal, sophisticated lyrics, and amazing stage presence. Lately, the singer has been collaborating with many big stars from the pop music scene.

Besides working on his music, the star has been active online – generating buzz about his sexuality and relationships. Ocean has been accepted for his honesty and candor on the topic, but also mysterious about his sexual status. He has become a part of the cultural force associated with gender fluidity and sexual identity and the national dialogue, while also remaining private. Which has made his highly anticipated album – Boys Don’t Cry” - even more alluring and interesting.

The name Frank comes from the Germanic tribe – the Franks. The name comes from a certain type of spear the tribe used to hunt with. This tribe settled in the Netherlands and France during the 3rd and 4th century. Eventually, the name was brought to England by the Normans.

There are many famous people with the name, from architect Frank Lloyd Wright to author L. Frank Baum. Frank Ocean is not the only notable artist with this name, as singer Frank Sinatra was a living legacy.
