Kanye West Donda (Deluxe) 4LP

Kanye West delivers a Deluxe Edition of the record-shattering Donda, featuring four bonus tracks plus fan-favorite verses from André 3000, Kid Cudi and more.

This release, from one of "the most influential pop stars of the 21st century," was his 10th #1 album on the Billboard 200, racking up over 1 billion streams in the first 10 days. Originally previewed at 3 historic livestream events, the global phenomenon topped charts in 11 countries and set an Apple Music record of #1s in 152 countries.

As with every new shape he takes, Kanye can be heard deep within Donda's drum-less beats and protracted wandering. His role as the man behind the curtain somehow keeps the songs compelling even as they become hard to digest. 808s & Heartbreak confounded both fans and critics with its frigid atmospheres and gothic undertones when it first arrived in 2008, but its production went on to influence the better part of the next decade of mainstream pop and rap. The first few times through, Donda feels haunted and incomplete, yet there's a spark deep inside the songs that suggests Kanye might merely be ahead of the curve. It wouldn't be the first time.
