4 reasons why Kanye West’s ‘Jesus Is King’ will outsell ‘Ye’—if he actually releases it:
seems like a return to Kanye’s musical and spiritual roots . The album title immediately calls to mind West’s defiant faith anthem “Jesus Walks” off, and his soul and R&B-inflected Sunday Services recall the chopped-up soul samples that defined his early work., which often felt like a collection of unfinished demos that lacked a musical or conceptual through-line.
. But he has allowed just enough information to surface to lend an air of mystique and prestige to the performances. Instagram videos from the scene make every Sunday Service look like an ebullient celebration of music, faith and community, in the way that every successful music festival curates an air of vaguely spiritual “togetherness.” Superstars like Brad Pitt and Katy Perry have attended various Sunday Services, functioning as celebrity endorsements.
West has always made a deal with his fans that if they can suffer through his public blow-ups, he’ll reward them with a brilliant new album. He failed to make good on that promise with, because it seemed like his celebrity had finally eclipsed his artistry. But his relative silence over the past nine months suggests a renewed focus and vigor for making great music, and that alone should entice fans who desperately wanted him to just log out of Twitter last year.
