Not only is Kanye done releasing his albums in CD form, he's also over the traditional one-album-a-year release cycle.
On Saturday, West tweeted that he's "going Mad Max" and switching switching to "3 albums a year" while also significantly increasing the number of his fashion collections.
No more fashion calendar... I'm going Mad Max... 6 collections a year...3 albums a year
West released his seventh studio album, "The Life of Pablo," on February 14th, three years after "Yeezus" debuted. Shortly after the launch, West revealed that he was planning to release a second album in 2016 called "Turbo Grafx 16" in the summer.
At the moment, West is putting the final touches on "The Life of Pablo," which while currently available to stream at Tidal, is still technically unfinished. West plans to patch the album as one would an online video game, fine-tuning the album's production and tweaking the song "Wolves" in particular, which he's able to do as "The Life of Pablo" is only available to stream and not in physical form.
excited to see my family and finish the final mixes of the Life of Pablo and keep working on Turbo Grafx 16 and Season 4 ….
If he adheres to this new 3-albums-per-year schedule - and this is Kanye we're talking about here so nothing's for certain- it's looking like 2016 could be the year West steps truly steps on the gas.
