Ye Previews New Song 'Beauty and the Beast'

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is preparing to release his upcoming solo album titled 'Bully,' with a new track called 'Beauty and the Beast' recently previewed at a listening party in Haikou, China. The artist shared a live video on Instagram, noting he is recording the album primarily in Tokyo, where he aims to handle all production himself, marking a significant shift from his usual collaborative approach. The song features introspective lyrics and samples The Mad Lads' classic 'Don't Have to Shop Around,' hinting at a more somber tone compared to his previous work. Touré, a journalist, highlighted that 'Bully' is expected to be a concept album, reflecting a fresh chapter in Ye's life and music career. While no official release date has been announced, anticipation is building among fans for this return to solo artistry since 2021's 'Donda.' Ye also previously mentioned another track, 'Preacher Man,' during the same listening session, indicating a broader scope for the album.
