While you’ve been busy securing a gold medal for the U.S., Frankie has been AWOL with no album in sight, although there have been multiple red herrings, like[ a seemingly credible report that the album would be arriving on August 5th](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/arts/music/frank-ocean-boys-dont-cry-apple-release-date.html "undefined") and the most recent fan theory [that the album will be arriving sometime this fall](http://time.com/4444187/frank-ocean-album-release-date/ "undefined"). For the time being, however, [Frank Ocean watch](http://time.com/4413818/frank-ocean-next-album-boys-dont-cry/ "undefined") continues — stay woke. > [](https://twitter.com/lzhernandez02/status/763531638613639168) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4450378/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4450378/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean/"},"headline":"Olympic Gymnast Laurie Hernandez Would Also Like To Know Where Frank Ocean's New Album Is","datePublished":"2016-08-12T18:40:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:28.089Z","description":"But really though.","url":"https://time.com/4450378/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","entertainment","Summer Olympics","2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics","Rio 2016 Olympics"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2e01cd9c293d1ec5/6988a234524fc0009adf9232/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2e01cd9c293d1ec5/6988a234524fc0009adf9232/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GYMNASTICS-OLY-2016-RIO","caption":"GYMNASTICS-OLY-2016-RIO","creditText":"EMMANUEL DUNAND—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4450378/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean/","name":"Olympic Gymnast Laurie Hernandez Would Also Like To Know Where Frank Ocean's New Album Is"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"These Olympic Gymnastics Photos are Mesmerizing","description":"During the 2016 Rio Olympics photographers covering gymnastics were dispatched to every corner of the arena to offer a unique perspective of the visually compelling sport.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/H0640w6A/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-08-11T22:23:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/H0640w6A.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4450378/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean/","duration":"PT29S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4450378/rio-2016-olympics-laurie-hernandez-frank-ocean/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
