Kanye West Holding Third Apple Music Listening Party for Unreleased 'Donda' Album

[MacRumors]

Kanye West is planning to hold a third listening party for his upcoming "Donda" album, reports Variety. The listening session will take place at Soldier Field in Chicago on Thursday, August 26.

As with West's prior two listening parties, the third listening party is likely to be livestreamed on Apple Music.

West held a public listening party for the "Donda" album on July 22 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The event was publicized in a Beats Studio Buds ad that aired during the NBA finals.

The initial listening party ended up breaking Apple Music livestreaming records with 3.3 million viewers tuning in. Even more Apple Music listeners participated in the second streaming event, which was held in Atlanta on August 5.

So far, West has been playing dramatically different versions of the album at each event, featuring new songs and new mixes.

West was initially expected to release the album after the August 5 Atlanta event, but that did not happen. There continues to be no release date for "Donda."

Why is Kanye still relevant? Why is this even a news? He's trolling, clearly.

Kanye is the KING OF TROLLING 🤡

Is he being serious this time?

 

[KrisLord]

Bring back Billie Eilish /s

 

[ksgant]

...yawn.

But hey, I hear he's a genius. Even he says he's a genius. So it must be true, yes?

 

[Randel.D]

This guy does not respect his fans. Selling $100 tshirts and $50 chicken tenders to people in a stadium who want music from him, then he comes in playing music too loud for anyone to make anything out, and then when he said he was going to release his album, he just… doesn’t.

I used to like his music, but now I just can’t separate the music from the artist, so it’s all trash to me now.

 

[kiensoy]

Bring back Billie Eilish /s

Or U2

 

[Shanghaichica]

They might as well milk it for all it’s worth.

 

[mashdots]

can't say i've ever liked his music. dislike his personality much more. i wouldn't be caught dead wearing a pair of yeezys

 

[grantew1]

I get some people don't like his music but people still choose to be salty.

Like if you dont like his music, move along.

 

[nikhsub1]

I'd seriously rather have a root canal than go to this. Not sure why it's newsworthy either.

 

[Macalway]

Let's be positive here. He's a nice lad who has a lot of money

He's also OCD and few other things, but he seems fairly harmless.

I mean, with the hyper OCD thing, disssapoiting a fan base is fairly understandable.

 

[adamjackson]

I'm looking forward to the album but until it's out, I'm not going to follow this hype train.

 

[dannyyankou]

I don’t care what you think about Kanye, I’m no fan myself, but playing an album at full stadiums before officially releasing it to the public is pretty cool.

 

[smarch]

Love it. Kanye all day.

 

[jkev57]

I refuse to support an artist who is crazier than I am.

 

[jamcgahey]

Whether or like Kanye or not, Apple Music does a great and unique thing by hosting these types of events. Now if only they could imitate Spotify's algorithm on finding new music and have more playlists outside of the typical mainstream music.

 

[newyorksole]

I get some people don't like his music but people still choose to be salty.

Like if you dont like his music, move along.

I don't comment on any article that has to do with a person/artist/subject that I dislike (unless maybe if the article is bashing them). The people in these comments reply to EVERY Kanye article without fail lmao it's sad. I just move right along.

Anyway... This is going to come out in September at this point.

 

[Freeangel1]

Put Depeche Mode, The Cure, Or New Order in his place.


NOW THATS AN APPLE LISTENING PARTY

KENYE has always had a few screws loose

 

[sunapple]

I don’t care when it launches at this point. I’m enjoying the ride though. Going through his old stuff again I guess.

 

[SigEp265]

I bet his iPhone unlock passcode is still 000000

 

[chrisdazzo]

WSE gang? Supposedly this is going to be where he actually drops the album. Let's hope so.

 

[Thehangmn]

Donda? more like Dumb-da this is what we call a mega-spreader event.

 

[CarlJ]

I get some people don't like his music but people still choose to be salty.

Like if you dont like his music, move along.

I don’t care about his music one way or the other. I hear he's very talented. I intensely dislike him. I do find it interesting that Apple is doing these kinds of events - it’s a good thing.

 

[dannyyankou]

I refuse to support an artist who is crazier than I am.

I don’t like his music, but I try to keep his mental health out of it.

 

[BGPL]

Presidential candidate and artist. Respect.

No - but seriously, who's writing music for this guy? And why is Apple still hitching their wagon to someone like Kanye?
