Kanye West used four simple words on Friday night to get the entertainment industry excited over one simple thing:
A NEW ALBUM!
Indeed, Mr. Kim Kardashian Tweeted the following this week, prompting fans everywhere to circle a certain date on their calendar:
Swish February 11 16.
Wow. That was fast.
Apparently Kanye’s American Idol audition went so well that he’s already landed a record deal.
We kid, we kid. West has actually been dropping hints about a new album ever since the year flipped to 2016.
Still, few details are actually known about the upcoming album.
The record may include the 38-year-old star’s “Facts,” which he dropped on New Year’s Eve, as well as the two tracks he’s already previewed since then:
“Real Friends” and “No More Parties in L.A.,” the latter of which features Kendrick Lamar.
West’s very famous wife, meanwhile, announced on Thursday that the artist would be releasing new music every Friday leading up to the release of “Swish,” writing to her millions of Twitter followers:
“Friiiiiiday!!!! New music!!!! #EveryFriday #Swish #RealFriends.”
In typical Kanye fashion, the rapper Tweeted back on December 12 that he’s pouring everything he has into this new record, warning folks at the time:
“I’m finishing my album and my next collectio. No offense to anyone… I’m asking everyone DON’T ASK ME FOR ANYTHING TILL AFTER I’M FINISHED WITH MY ALBUM.”
Fair enough.
When you’re finished, though, Kanye, we’d like to ask you about rumors that you’ve been cheating on Kim Kardashian.
Just, you know, whenever you have a few free moments.
