Kanye West went into the streets on Manhattan, playing his music, he also released the ‘Jesus is King’ IMAX film.
Jordan Bassett had some comments to give relating to the album. He said: An iconoclast sounds peaceful and fulfilled on this jubilant gospel collection.
“West’s dedication to God’s jukebox may prove similarly sporadic (although he’s claimed ‘Jesus Is Born’, a follow-up, will be released on Christmas Day). It’s tempting to hope that’s the case, because it’s true that ‘Jesus Is King’ lacks the goofball sense of humor that always made Kanye West albums so much fun. But what’s been sacrificed has been partly compensated for with warmth and hope for the future.”
