Apparently the opening track of the album, in LQ. Not sure tbh, will need to hear it properly. I am still upset that he isn't rapping :(

I need Wolves in HQ NOW NOW NOW.

I too am hoping for rapping on at least some of the album..

Can watch the SNL performance of the Jesus Walks, Only One and Wolves (with Vic Menza and Sia) mash up here: http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/15/8043849/...0-sia-vic-mensa

 

Visually stunning but vocally very rough. I wonder if he was ill?

I NEED THE HQ TOO GAHHH. Until then ~

 

 

 

This is the best we have so far (taken from SNL and isolated so it's just the song).

 

Chills like the first time we heard the LQ version of 'New Slaves' :'(

I need Wolves in HQ NOW NOW NOW.

He basically confirmed in an interview today that there is rapping on the album ~ (apparently 'All Day' is still on it).

 

Still waiting for an HQ version of 'Wolves' before listening. :magic:

HE'S PERFORMING AT THE BRITS TONIGHT :w00t:

!!

"Replacing" Rihanna. Do we know why Rihanna pulled out/do we think he might convince her to come and perform 'FourFiveSeconds' as part of a surprise medley or something? I just want FFS to be number 1 :cry:

The Kanye/Taylor collab hinted at the other week (although not mentioned in this thread :thinking:) is now confirmed to be a new version of 'Bad Blood' apparently. Obviously not relevant to this Kanye album then but can't wait for that and hopefully means 'Bad Blood' will be the next single from '1989' *.*

Still waiting for the proper studio version of 'All Day' though ugh.

 

I absolutely loved 'Only One' (still one of my favourite songs of the year) and it's barely even comparable to 'All Day' (which is also incredible based on the BRITs performance) but I am glad he doesn't seem to be making an entire album of that style. Really can't tell what this album is gonna be like if it has both of them on it!

"Only One" came on shuffle a couple nights ago and I legitimately shed tears and it caught me off guard completely.

He's announced the title as 'So Help Me God'!

A very clever & interesting title, especially as a follow-up to 'Yeezus'! Leaving me even more intrigued.

 

Also this picture came with the title, album cover??

 

do all his album titles have to have a religious theme to it now? :lol: At least this one isn't half as egotistical as 'Yeezus'.

the album is “80 percent done” and will feature “bars, songs, cookout—music that just feels good.” “My last album was a protest of music,” Kanye told “The Breakfast Club.” “This album’s just embracing the music, embracing joy, and just being of service to the people.”

So a world away from 'Yeezus' then, thematically.

Not his best album title but the standard is pretty damn high and it is certainly still a good one, very much showing a contrast to 'Yeezus'.

 

Jonathan Woss performance btw:

 

No title will ever be good as 'Yeezus' :wub:

This wouldn't usually grab me as a title from him, but as the follow-up to 'Yeezus' it's a clever one. If that is the artwork (which it apparently is) i'd like some clarification as to what it symbolises because I'm not understanding it at the moment :unsure:

 

He needs to get more music flowing too. 'All Day' needs to drop soon and a HQ 'Wolves' because the waiting is killing me.

I work about 500 metres from where he was doing his talk in Oxford today. SO CLOSE TO HIM.

But I couldn't get tickets because a) I was at work and b) I'm not a student at Oxford uni. :'( I hope you all take pity on me.

I cannot wait for the full album. The artistry in Kanye's work is always so refreshing.
