More than a month after he said he would, Kanye West finally has released his new, Christian-themed album “Donda” — appropriately enough, on Sunday morning.
The 26-track album, already heard at listening events in Chicago and Atlanta, includes contributions from Jay-Z, The Weeknd, Kid Cudi, the late Pop Smoke, Swiss Beatz, Jay Electronica and Travis Scott, among other illustrious collaborators. It is available on most major streaming platforms.
Several announced release dates have come and gone since West announced the album in July in a commercial during Game 6 of the NBA finals. It premiered July 22 at a livestreamed Atlanta event where he appeared but barely spoke.
He then postponed the release and reportedly lived in the venue, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, while tweaking the recording and hosting another listening event.
At the Chicago listening party Thursday, West wore a full face mask most of the night while dancing, being set on fire and re-creating his wedding with Kim Kardashian West at a to-scale model of his South Shore childhood home built in the middle of Soldier Field.
The album is named after his mother, Chicago State University professor Donda West, who died at the age of 58 following plastic surgery complications in 2007.
