Kanye West Debuts "Jesus is King" Album & Clothing: "He's Making it Cool to Praise God"
Wow! It looks like Kanye West wants people to know Jesus!
Kanye West hosted two free events in Detroit, Mich., on Sept 27, one of which he debuted his latest album, “Jesus is King.” He and his wife, Kim Kardashian-West, have teased the album all week. The album’s release delayed multiple times, but the couple insists it will drop Sunday.
According to Detroit Free Press, the album consists of “spiritual themes, including cautions against the temptations of superficial culture (‘L.A. Monster’), songs of personal revelation (‘Hands Off’ with Hammond) and urgings of faith and devotion (‘Closed on Sunday’ — ‘just like Chick-fil-A,’ as Kanye quipped).”
The album comes after launching his Gospel-centered “Sunday Service” earlier this year.
Kardashian tweeted the album’s song list, which implies Gospel-centered themes. She said, “Have faith,” above the picture.
