This app will text you the second the new Frank Ocean album drops

Not all heroes wear capes

Frank Ocean's new, highly anticipated album was expected to release last week.

Since its announcement back in 2013, fans have been anxiously awaiting his next LP, 'Boys Don't Cry'.

Unfortunately, everyone remains waiting. The date that allegedly would see the album drop came and went with no official word on when it will finally release. We find ourselves waking up every morning hoping today will be the day.

Website developer Shahzeb Kahn shares this deep longing and has developed a program that will notify users the second Frank Ocean's 'Boys Don't Cry' drops.

The algorithm scans Spotify, iTunes and Twitter for every new piece of Frank Ocean content and will recognize when the new album is released. Upon the announcement, anyone who has signed up for Kahn's website will receive a text message with a direct link.

The interface is simple and only requires a mobile phone number.
