It was supposed to be the 2018 event album, and it wasn't. Kanye returns from Uganda and sets aside the project. It seems to need small adjustments every time and is never finished in the end. His head is going mad crazy again and he refuses to take medications in order to stimulate his creativity and bring out good music. Or something like that. The sequel to "Yeezus", which this time combines the words "Ye" and "Gandhi", is bound to remain in the dark until it's leaked on internet in summer 2019. It would be his best solo album in the last nine years: the production is melodic and ethereal and West offers some of the best performances of him in recent times, aided by a large array of guests. "Law of Attraction" (w/ Dua Lipa) is easily one of the best moments of the year, "City in the Sky", "All Dreams Real", "Chakras", "The Storm" and "Alien" are excellent tracks, despite their raw and incomplete nature. It's a pity that the author didn't find the mental strength to seek treatment and the patience to complete the project, because it had the potential to be one of the albums of the year. 8/10.
