The Life of Pablo

Ye

A living, breathing collage of gospel grandeur and industrial grit. It captures the manic energy of a public figure oscillating between prayer and paranoia.

February 14, 2016 · Ruido Discos

Find on Amazon

A restless, high-stakes collision of religious epiphany and celebrity-induced anxiety.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition from the soulful choir intro into the heavy Metro Boomin drop on track 2.
The haunting, distorted vocal layers that build into a frantic crescendo on the back half of Wolves.
The sudden silence following the Nina Simone sample on Famous before the beat reconstructs itself.
