![]() Many of his fans have been waiting, in the past and now, due to his postponed studio albums. ![]() He is receiving enough excitement from the listening parties and live streams alone. West has been hyping up his album with all of these listening parties, so I don’t see the need for him to keep changing release dates - especially because these announcements are coming after a release date passes. If that is the case, however, the least West could do is wait to announce a release date. I absolutely understand that an album is a form of art, and he wants to perfect his art before the world gets their hands on it. While this behavior isn’t new from Kanye West, it’s not justifiable. West has now announced another listening party event for this Thursday, Aug. The date came and went, and there was still no album. Another listening party was set up for early August at the same stadium.Īfter the public listening parties, Apple Music showed a release date of mid-August. Several days later, West hosted a public listening party event for fans at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta that was also streamed on Apple Music. ![]() The buzz around “Donda” began again this summer when West hosted a private listening party for the album on July 18. This behavior is not fair to his fans nor himself. In 2016, he even went so far as cancelling his Saint Pablo tour midway through. ![]() An article from Newsweek covered every time West has delayed an album release - which has been just about every time. West began focusing on his presidential campaign shortly after, which made his fans wait for much longer than they expected to. On July 25, a day after the supposed release date, West posted the artwork for the album. Just days later after his initial announcement, he posted a completely different tracklist on Twitter. West announced that the album would be released on Jand posted a tracklist. One year later, the album still has not dropped. West first began to tease the album in the summer of 2020, announcing that it would be released later that summer. Mixing that with those intimate soundbites of his mother’s audio gives you a peek into the mind of a Gemini - all over the place, but if done right, EPIC.KIRAN BRAR | OPINION COLUMNIST | have been waiting for Kanye West’s 10th studio album, “Donda,” to be released, but there is no telling how many more times the rapper will postpone it. Features from artists like Pusha T, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, JayZ, and Quavo gave the album quite a unique range. In my opinion, the album in its entirety was the perfect blend of Kanye’s spirituality, self awareness, self assurance, wisdom, and turn up! He’s geniusly found a great balance of energy and I can appreciate the time it took to mold it over the years. With that said, the album is incomplete and I don’t have much more to say other than give testimony to what was heard - and it sounds great so far! There are reports that Kanye has taken residency at the Mercedes Benz Stadium, equipped with living quarters, studio equipment, and a private chef to help him get the job done on location! That’s dedication. Apparently, tardy vocal submissions have aided in the pushback of the album.

Once the first track started to play, nearly two hours after ticket time, fans instantly levitated out of their seats with open ears and cell phone cameras ready to absorb what was to come next. Fog machines and a white screen on the stadium’s circular jumbotron kept the space feeling “cloud-like”. The stage was a simple, white canvas stretching corner to corner, designed specifically for projector art. Fans came dressed in edgy streetwear, Yeezy kicks, and/or full-headed masks, to emulate the artist himself. The energy at the Mercedes Benz Stadium was very similar to concert atmosphere.
