ONE MORE LIGHT ALBUM YOUTUBE UPDATE
This update was called “V2.22.22 MIAMI,” and it contained high-quality versions of every new song that was played at the Miami listening party on Feb. One day later, another update went live on the Stem Player, bringing the total number of Donda 2 songs to 16. Kanye’s fascination with Steve Jobs and Silicon Valley is well-documented, and now he’s treating his own music like a piece of software for the Stem Player. Some of the songs sounded incomplete, hinting that new versions would be added as they were finalized-a theory that was seemingly confirmed by the co-inventor of the Stem Player, Alex Klein, who tweeted that the device would be “always updated” with “the latest versions.” Instead of the full album, though, he only shared four songs, signaling that the album would arrive in pieces as he finished it. 23, Kanye uploaded the first version of Donda 2 to the Stem player. The release of Donda 2 is already unlike anything that’s ever come before it, and the final version of the album isn’t even out yet. So far, he’s using his self-contained delivery method to rethink the idea of album rollouts. This is the first time we’ve seen an artist as popular as Kanye self-release an album using their own technology and distribution channels.
In the past, he had to work within the restrictions of streaming services and record labels, but he’s leaving those limitations behind by releasing his new album Donda 2 exclusively on his own device: the Stem Player. Six years later, Kanye is taking this philosophy to the next level. At the time, it was an unprecedented way of releasing music, described by critics as both “an exciting prospect for art” and “the death of the traditional album.” In 2016, Kanye West tweeted that his album The Life of Pablo was a “living breathing changing creative expression.”įamously, he kept tinkering with the album even after dropping it, uploading new versions to streaming platforms for weeks after its initial release.
