While he’s still on tour promoting his Yeezus album, Kanye West is starting to think about this next project.
According to ‘Ye, look for his next album to be totally different from all his past works. Taking inspiration from Yeezus, Kanye says that his next album will be less about the amount of music and more about the impact of the content.
“I think my next album is going to be eight songs,” ‘Ye said Wednesday night during an Art Basel panel in Miami. ”It’s just reducing down the amount of information that you need. People say a design is the point where you can’t take anything else away. [Yeezus] was very, very designed. I took a departure from radio and popular music in order to get this seat here. If I hadn’t made Yeezus, I wouldn’t be sitting here with this cool font at Basel right here.”
For his next release, ‘Ye will once again team up with Rubin and his G.O.O.D. Music cohort Q-Tip.
“I’m producing Kanye’s new album with Rick Rubin,” the Queens, New York rap vet confirmed to journalist Elliott Wilson during an interview earlier this week. (See interview below)
West recently revealed that he is already working on the LP, and he aims to drop it in 2014. “I haven’t named my next album, but I have started on it,” he said during a Power 99 radio interview last month in Philadelphia. “I write down philosophies all the time, so I’ll just have some thoughts and I just constantly, every time I think of it, I write it. I’m just collecting. I’m just constantly working.”
