Unlock the Amazing Power of Vultures – Released on Feb. 9!
Exciting news for all music enthusiasts out there! The legendary Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has graced us with a brand new collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign titled “Vultures.” The album was officially released on Feb. 9 on various digital platforms, including Apple Music. However, some keen listeners noted that the album actually dropped in the early hours of Feb. 10, adding an element of subtle surprise to the release.
The album cover itself deviates from the initially teased artwork, presenting Ye donning a white hockey mask while positioned behind a woman with her back turned towards the front. This artistic direction sets the stage for an intriguing visual experience that complements the musical journey that lies within “Vultures.”
Prior to the album launch, Ye took to Instagram to share a screenshot late on a Friday evening, confirming the delivery of “Vultures 1” on Feb. 9. Ye also reassured fans that the album would be available on various Digital Service Providers (DPS) within 24-48 hours of the announcement. These DPS platforms encompass online stores such as iTunes and Amazon Music, as well as popular streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, ensuring that fans worldwide can easily access and enjoy the music.
Not one to shy away from grand gestures, Ye held not one but two listening parties in anticipation of the album release. The first event took place on Feb. 8 in Chicago, followed by a second gathering on Feb. 9 in New York. These listening parties have become a signature tradition for Ye, creating a buzz and excitement surrounding his album releases that always leave fans eager for more.

But that’s not all! Ye also surprised fans with a heartwarming music video featuring his daughter, North West, for the track “Talking / Once Again” from the album. This girl-dad double feature showcased a tender moment between Ye, North West, and collaborator Ty Dolla $ign, adding a personal touch to the visual storytelling of the album.
However, not all feedback has been positive. Renowned rock icon Ozzy Osbourne took to social media to address Ye’s unauthorized use of a sample from Osbourne’s live rendition of “Iron Man” at the Chicago listening party. Osbourne revealed that Kanye West had requested permission to sample a section of the 1983 live performance but was denied usage. Despite this refusal, Ye proceeded to include the sample in his event, prompting Osbourne to disassociate himself from the artist.
But amidst the controversy, Ye continues to push boundaries and break barriers in the music industry. With a career spanning over two decades and a penchant for reinvention, Ye’s latest album “Vultures” is a testament to his artistic evolution and unwavering dedication to his craft. So, whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to Ye’s musical world, “Vultures” promises a captivating and immersive listening experience that is bound to leave a lasting impression.
