On Thursday morning, April 14, a Kanye West track titled “Saint Pablo” appeared on Apple Music. The song had been floating around the internet for a while, but this was the first chance his fans will got to listen to the track with all the sound quality that a high-fidelity stream brings. Shortly after it was discovered, the link to the song was taken down.
The song could be apart of Kanye’s post-The Life of Pablo album, which he declared will be coming this summer, titled Turbo Grafx 16. “Saint Pablo” most likely was an accidental release.
The other odd thing about the song, other than only being available (albeit for a short time) on Apple Music, was that it had been uploaded under the account of Apple Curator, not Kanye West. Little evidences like this, and the fact that ‘Ye did not tweet about the release of the song indicate that it could've been a glitch-release, a glitch that was promptly patched.
Even though it might've been a total mistake, it was a quick glance into the music Kanye is capable of making, with many comments on the song saying it was reminiscent of the "Old Kanye."
Kanye has said that he has a lot of unreleased music, so this might have just been a leak in the vast collection of tracks he has yet to drop, or a hint as to more to come in the future. Either way, his fans wait with baited breath for the next Kanye project.
