Last night, as fans burned the midnight oil following Kanye West\u2019s second <\/em>public listening party<\/a>, it became unsurprisingly clear that the rapper was delaying the release of the long-awaited project. When the clock struck twelve, West’s fanbase was left unamused, replaying footage from Thursday listening party to hear the newly revised project.<\/p>\n

Of course, these antics are not uncharacteristic for the artist’s winding track record. Originally titled\u00a0God\u2019s Country<\/em>, the project was slated for release in July 2020. A year and a covert listening party later, West unexpectedly announced the album’s supposed release in a Beats By Dre ad<\/a> that featured track phenom Sha\u2019Carri Richardson<\/a>\u00a0 and a record from the album, \u201cNo Child Left Behind.\u201d When he hosted his debut listening party, a day before the anticipated premiere, Ye’ opted to push back his project calendar<\/a> to amend the project further.<\/p>\n

With his Thursday album affair also not prompting the release of Donda<\/em>, all we have left are vivid memories of the show \u2014 which included the artist’s “rapture” into the heavens and the attendance of Kim Kardashian<\/a>. Vastly contrasting his rather stationary one-man performance in late July, Ye’ welcomed his infamous Sunday Service choir, the performance art direction of Demna Gvasalia and the needed theatrics for the second-go-round.<\/p>\n

Once again, Kim Kardashian<\/a> appeared in the audience (might we add, in a matching outfit<\/a>). This time, it seems like West seized the moment to offer reconciliation to his estranged wife.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m losing all my family\/Darling come back to me,\u201d he reportedly rapped as he knelt. In another song that delivers an intimate glimpse into the *hopefully* forthcoming thematic era, he exclaimed, \u201cTime and space is a luxury\/But you came here to show that you\u2019re still in love with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
