"[It’s] cookout music that just feels good. My last album was protest music. I was like, ‘I’m going to take my ball and go home.’… This album is just embracing the music, embracing joy"
"I’m finishing my album and my next collection…"
"This is not album of the year. This is album of the life."
Kanye West announced on his official Twitter account that the new title of the album is "WAVES".
A recent Instagram post has sparked rumors of Tyler, The Creator doing a guest appearance on the forthcoming Waves LP. Tracey Mills, West's friend and designer, shows the Odd Future rapper sitting in a studio looking at a notepad similar to that which revealed "Waves" track listing. The photo is accompanied by the caption: "Wolf gang in the building #Waves 2|11|16"
So either he's just hanging out, or he is in fact recording.
Kanye West is holding a contest for fans to guess the meaning behind his album title.
"@studio /final verses /new album title T.L.O.P. That's the new album anybody who can figure out the title gets tickets to Season 3 and free Yeezys."
It's finally here. And me and my co-host Louise, over at The Only Music Podcast, will review and publish a special episode dedicated to Kanye's latest offering.

On February 14th, Kanye West took to his Twitter to announce "Ima fix wolves" followed by announcing a further delay on the sale of his 7th project, saying "Please for all music lovers. Please subscribe to tidal!!! I decided not to sell my album for another week. Please subscribe to tidal." The album (as it stands currently) is available to stream on Tidal.
This comes after West decided to scrap the original version of Wolves featuring Vic Mensa & Sia to replaced it with a version that has a rap verse by West & a short outro by the ever-mysterious Frank Ocean.
We can only speculate what other changes might be made in the next week.
 
I’m tired of hitting refresh and looking everywhere for it. I trust in Kanye though, great things come to those who wait
I think he delivered in a big way.
aaaand its the 14th now in NZ. I’m not even confident that this album will be good after that Yeezus shit. I’M JUST CURIOUS AS HELL…
Kanye is adding another track which is causing the delay. He said it is Chance The Rappers fault as he wanted Waves to be on the album.
Didn’t think it was worth the wait to add. Chance wrote his verses anyway apparently.
Almost loosing faith in the album here. Seems overly ambitious announcing three huge things he’s working on at the same time, without even knowing wtf he actually wants the album and game to end up like. He should’ve released the first version, and just released a “Super deluxe who cares super fan” edition afterwards with the other 800 tracks. Wolves would be a great final track.
I agree, it looks like he’s just throwing the singles at the end. I hope it doesn’t drag down this A- album to a C+ by overburdening it.
FML is online. its terrible. no beat for a good minute. kanye terrible signing in autotune. from the singles i’ve heard, only “real friends’ sounds decent. i think this one might be a serious flop for kanye
I love how minimal it is. “No beat” is by no means a musical detriment. And Kanye’s heavily utilized auto-tune singing on his last three albums.
for a rap album lack of beats is kind of like a classical album without the symphony. i feel like its going to turn a lot of people off when they tune in for the typical kanye beats and find him singing on a track with dated autotune
Your first sentence doesn’t make any sense. A classical piece without a symphony orchestra is literally nothing. A better comparison would be a classical piece without one particular instrument, and nearly every single classical piece has at least one point in the middle where only a few of the instruments are playing. The only musical difference (aside from the singing) between the opening of FML and a traditional hip-hop song is that there isn’t a drum track. It’s not like it loses all concept of tempo.
And regardless, this album is still far more commercially viable than Yeezus was. New Slaves didn’t have any drums either, and it got a Grammy nomination.
FML Has been leaked, I’m currently listening to it rn. Doesn’t sound like its live either. A leak is somewhere out here.
what do you think if FML? i just listened to it. I think its garbage

Haha, I’m glad he finds humor in the album art meme’s
I think I would just change the release date to “god knows when”
Kanye thinks he’s God and only he knows
This is actually mental. He just does what he wants, fans are actually getting annoyed by this and he does not give a single F***. He will still sell millions regardless.
Yeah, and this also means that the people that actually payed for the listening party event never got what they paid for.
How? The album is coming out. It’s just delayed a bit. I’d rather it being a few days late then getting something that isn’t quite finished. Also I don’t remember him ever giving an actual release date for the album, I only remember him saying he would premiere it at the Season 3 show, which he did.
Different versions. He did fifty or something for “stronger” originally. I like that it’s alive and constantly changing.
Regarding his work – you guys are his guests. It’s not the other way around
I don’t have any problems with artists spending a lot of time on their albums, I think that’s a good thing usually. Difference between Frank Ocean and Kanye this time around is that Kanye pretty much told everyone that it would be released this week; never heard any specific dates from Frank Ocean. Of course it’s alright to push the release date back, but it all feels kinda clumsy and therefore annoying.
And sure, they kinda got what they paid for when they went to the event. My point was more that, eh, I’m not sure it counts as a proper premiere if you don’t actually play everything that’s supposed to be on the album. Tracks keeps getting added. I’d enjoy this more if he just kept quiet about the whole project for the next days/week/hours until it’s actually out.
PREACH!
y’all are rookies as far as waiting goes.. three days late smh, frank ocean is almost seven months late. And this chance feature has to be dope.
Agreed. Year late now.
While you wait, I’ve compiled some stuff on the forum
https://hasitleaked.com/discussion/topic/the-life-of-pablo/
has joy for the journey been removed or just changed? because i was looking forward to that song after the live recording
I heard the live leak and I’m telling you, Father Stretch My Hands (Track 2), is a banger.
It is, only problem is, its another song called Panda by Desiigner, he´s signed by G.O.O.D. Music tho, but in my opinion it’s kinda cheap
A man has two things… His Word & His Balls. Kanye’s word means nothing now.
i GUARANTEE ANOTHER ALBUM TITLE CHANGE
he said it in snl. it’s out now
It leaked! It’s available for purchase on his website and it is streaming on Tidal if you have a subscription!!
IT’S OUT
Streaming on Tidal
Can confirm, it’s streaming on Tidal
Yayyy the wait is finally over :D
Man I woke up and didn’t see an email notifying me of this. I was super pissed but saw the leak on Facebook. Y’all need to do a better job at your email alert system.
Sorry, everyone didn’t get an email. We’re going to work on a solution to this. It’s difficult to virtually and in advance try to emulate a massive leak like this and how it should be handled by the site script and my server. However, it’s safe to say that 99% of our leak email alerts are being sent, and that Kanye is an exception. Although it’s not an excuse.
Radiohead is likely to be another huge album like this, so we’ll prepare something in advance.
OMG it’s over!
But where is the tracklist posted above from? Not the same guests as the ones listed on Tidal
No Sia, Vic Mensa & Frank Ocean on Wolves ? Do I Have The Wrong Version ?
It’s just Frank Ocean and Caroline Shaw. Frank is singing during the last 30 seconds.
He’s taken it off sale again and reworking wolves
The insanity continues ;)
