Kanye West confirms release date of new album ‘Jesus Is King’

The 12-track record was first announced by Kim Kardashian West in late August

Kanye West has confirmed that his new album ‘Jesus Is King’ will arrive later this month.

With the long-awaited ‘Yandhi’ still nowhere to be seen, a new record has now been announced in its place. It’ll be West’s first since last year’s ‘ye’, and is expected to be reflective of his recent gospel-heavy Sunday Service sessions.

West’s wife Kim Kardashian West first announced ‘Jesus Is King’ with a pair of social media posts on August 29, revealing a release date of September 27, the album title and the contents of its 12-strong tracklist.

Now, West has confirmed that release date too.

During West’s Atlanta Sunday Service last weekend, he addressed 600 guests who attended the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church to listen to the Grammy Award-winning artist’s speech.
Footage of the speech, which can be viewed below, sees him confirming that release date.

West has also confirmed the release of ‘Jesus Is King’ by updating his official website. A screenshot of Kardashian’s post of the tracklist — which also features an open bible and a yellow notepad with biblical phrases scrawled across the page — is now the sole page that is available to view on West’s site.

A new Kanye song called ‘Brothers’ was teased back in May, which then appeared on the soundtrack to Tales. The song was co-produced by Irv “Gotti” Lorenzo, the creator of the show.

In terms of recent musical output, Kanye has appeared in a guest role on a slew of recent songs, including ‘Puppet’ by Tyler, the Creator‘Mixed Personalities’ by YNW Melly and ‘I Love It’ by Lil Pump. He also previewed a ‘Jesus Is King’ song, ‘Water’, at his Sunday Service performance at Coachella.

He also produced a new Pusha T song, ‘Sociopath’.
