Kanye West’s New Album “The Life of Pablo” Will Release Today

BY TER STAFF

After the close of Kanye’s huge fashion show/album streaming event yesterday at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, many were expecting that the album would officially release publicly, whether via iTunesTIDALSoundCloud, anything… However fans were soon disappointed as hours went by and nothing. Fans again got anxious this morning as Kanye released a new GOOD Friday record via SoundCloud, leading many to believe that the album would not soon be released.

However Kanye West fans are really eating today as minutes ago Kanye announced that his next LP, The Life of Pablo, is currently being mastered and will release later today. If TLOP and a new GOOD Friday track weren’t enough, Kanye has even added a couple new tracks to his album’s final tracklist, which now comes in at 17-tracks long.

Check out The Life of Pablo’s final tracklist and stream Kanye’s new GOOD Friday track ’30 Hours’ below.

UPDATE: Kanye has now announced that his album The Life of Pablo is being mastered and will be out today (with a couple news tracks as well)!

Following his huge Madison Square Garden album listening party slash Yeezy Season 3 fashion show, Kanye has released a brand new track via SoundCloud. Although it is still uncertain when his anticipated LP, The Life of Pablo, will release officially, Kanye’s new track ’30 Hours’ is another new G.O.O.D. Friday record. “Now that the album is finally finished it’s back to Good Fridays,” Kanye wrote to fans on Twitter.

While the new record is certainly another quality record that Kanye has officially released this year, it definitely makes fans anxious that The Life of Pablo won’t release today, or perhaps in the immediate future. Many fans anticipated that the album would have released yesterday, soon before or after Kanye’s MSG event, however such was not the case. We won’t complain about new music though, so definitely enjoy the record!

Stream ’30 Hours’ below.

Kanye West Gave Taylor Swift a Heads Up on Album Reference

Kanye West hasn’t even formally released his new album, The Life of Pablo, yet and already it’s causing controversy. During his live album release party slash Yeezy Season 3 fashion show at Madison Square Garden today, one of Kanye’s new tracks contained a “jab” at Taylor Swift. You know, the same Taylor Swift who Kanye stole the mic from at the VMAs….

Kanye raps, “I feel like me and Taylor still might have sex, I made that bitch famous.” Whoh, Kanye!

But before you grab your pitchforks, and let Kanye totally have it, which on the surface seems very easy to do this time, you’ll be surprised to learn that Kanye actually gave T-Swift a heads up on the lyric. According to TMZ, a source close to Swift says that Kanye called her personally, months ago, to tell her about the song and reference in advance. So although she may not have totally co-signed the lyric, let’s all lighten up and all wait until  TLOP officially released (and hopefully soon).

  

Watch Lana Del Rey’s New Music Video for “Freak” with Father John Misty

Last night Lana Del Rey premiered her new music video at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, and while most music videos don’t warrant their own release event, Lana’s videos aren’t “most music videos”. This time releasing visuals for her 2015 track, ‘Freak’, from her Honeymoon album, Lana Del Rey’s new music video co-stars Lana’s close friend and rocker, Father John Misty, and everything you wouldn’t expect and everything you would expect from Lana all at the same time.

The new music video certainly shares images and a general feel from some of Lana’s previous vintage-themed videos, but this new one totals over 10-minutes long. And while we won’t try to give away too much, the last half of the video is full of a weird (in the best way possible) underwater piano-laced slow-motion sequence of Lana swimming. You definitely need to check it out for yourself.

Watch Lana’s music video for ‘Freak’ below.

Electronic music has made its way west, to the wild wild west, to be specific. Releasing visuals for his ‘We All Fall Down’ record with Jamie Lidell, A-Trak’s new video has a Western bar theme and it’s totally awesome. The new video is directed by Nicolas Randall and features Adam Bartley (“Longmire), a mechanical bull, and of course A-Trak himself. ‘We All Fall Down’ has been consistently getting more and more plays, recently broke into the Top 20 Dance radio, and we certainly don’t expect that momentum to stop anytime soon.
