‘The Life of Pablo’ By Kanye West Album Preview: New Work Shows Maturity

At a highly anticipated live event in Madison Square Garden, streamed at theaters around the world as well as on the online music streaming service TIDAL, Kanye West debuted his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo and unveiled his new fashion collection. Yeezy Season 3 may be the kind of fashion event that gets talked about a lot in the days immediately following and is soon forgotten, but coupled with the world premiere of The Life of Pablo in a sold-out Madison Square Garden listening party, West guarantees that this is the kind of thing that people will remember.

After featuring singles from the album at the other fashion shows (“Wolves” featuring Sia and Vic Mensa at the Season 1 show and “Fade” featuring Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign at Season 2), it was at YEEZY Season 3 that the rapper premiered his new album in full length. Joined by the Kardashian-Jenner clan dressed in white fur coats and many of his fellow collaborators on the album, Yeezy took the stage in the full Madison Square Garden and eager to share the final product, premiered his album with a reticent introduction just after 4:30 pm on February 11.

With some controversy about its title in the past few weeks, West announced the final title of his new album – The Life of Pablo – a day before the MSG event. It’s unclear who is the person the title alludes too (some speculation claim that to be 20th-century artist Pablo Picasso or drug lord Pablo Escobar), but in any case, the title is not the album’s most impressive feature.
