Kanye West is still putting the finishing touches on his seventh studio album with less than a month until it's release date, and he just made one major change.
The forthcoming album was originally titled "Swish," but he announced Tuesday night that it has a new name. "New album title, WAVES," he tweeted. He then followed the tweet up with a photo of the same handwritten track list he had posted a few days earlier. Only this time, the track list had much more writing on it, including "Kylie was here," and "Kim never left," and was now titled "WAVES" and seemed to be split up into three acts for his upcoming debut performance at Madison Square Garden.
"#Waves the album formally known as Swish," he added. "This is not the album of the year. This is album of the life."
Just hours before he made the album title change, it had been revealed that he would be debuting the album on its release date, Feb. 11, during the same time he was debuting his Yeezy Season 3 collection during New York Fashion Week at Madison Square Garden, as HNGN previously reported. The latest addition to his fashion line and the entire album are set to release on the same day and to be live streamed across the globe. Tickets for what was called "Yeezy Season 3 - SWISH" went up on Ticketmaster on Tuesday, but now that the album has been changed, they have disappeared from the site.
Fans are apparently going nuts over the fact that the ticket page is no longer there, as American Express pre-sale tickets were supposed to go on sale at 10 a.m. EST Wednesday morning, but Ticketmaster's site is saying that the event no longer exists. Sources close to West have said that the event is absolutely still happening, but it is unclear what the issues are with Ticketmaster and pre-sale, according to TMZ. Regular pre-sale tickets for the MSG show are supposed to go on sale Thursday, and general public tickets are supposed to go on sale on Friday, but it is unclear if this will still be happening.
Ticketmaster and American express have not responded to comments, but the event is 100 percent still happening. This could have something to do with the album title change.
