14 DAY TRIAL // Kanye West returned on Twitter a while back, and true to form, his feed is proving a valuable source of information for his loyal fans and celebrity bloggers. When he’s not using social media to invite Bruno Mars to sing hooks on his songs, he’s apologizing to people he’s offended more recently and revealing stuff about his upcoming album.
The follow-up to his 2013 release, “Yeezus,” will be called “So Help Me God,” with the photo below probably being the official artwork.
Yeezus is a pun on Kanye’s stage moniker, Yeezy, and the name of Jesus Christ, something for which he got a lot of flak online, especially since the album also included a song in which he boasted of being “a god.” Judging from his most recent announcement, even Yeezus needs divine help every now and then. The real kind of divine help.
Kanye hasn’t offered a release date for the new studio material, but he did say in a recent interview that it was only about 80 percent done. So far, we’ve heard 3 tracks off it, “Only One,” “Wolves” with Sia and Vic Mensa, and “All Day” with Theophilus London and Allan Kingdom.
“FourFiveSeconds,” Kanye’s collaboration with Rihanna and Sir Paul McCartney, will be included on Rihanna’s upcoming album.
New Album title...
