Kanye West - ‘God Level'

We’ve just been offered our first taste of Kanye’s much-anticipated follow-up to last year’s Yeezus… in an Adidas commercial.

It’s dark, aggressive and egocentric - everything we’ve come to expect from the controversial rapper. In this reviewer’s opinion, the heavily percussive song is a little repetitive, and seems to lack the audacity that defines West’s more impressive output. At the same time, this sounds like it could be a raw edit, so maybe the final version of the track will have more to offer.

A mysterious source has apparently leaked that the album thus far is “mostly a mixture of soul samples and tamed ‘Yeezus’-esque darkness… nothing abrasive". Some of the more abrasive moments of Yeezus, however, were also its best - we can only hope that Kanye hasn’t pruned his passionate outbursts back too far.
