Kanye West is moving forward.
Not resentful, the 43-year-old rapper has digested the fiasco of his candidacy in the last US presidential elections rather well.
Spontaneous candidate, “Yé” won only 0.3% of the vote but is already looking towards 2024. While waiting for the next campaign, he is returning to his favorite activity, music.

Jesus is Born
, a new christic album for Christmas
On December 25, the Sunday Service Choir gospel choir, which he founded over a year ago, released his new project called
Emmanuel
.
A reference to the name attributed to Christ in the Gospel according to Matthew, also meaning
"God is among us"
.
A Christmas present equivalent to that of last year, when the aptly named
Jesus is Born
appeared on the same date
.
With a few details.
Emmanuel
has only five songs, against seventeen for
Jesus is Born
.
Also, all the titles are not sung in English but in Latin.
We thus find
Requiem Aeternam
,
O Mira Nox
,
O Magnum Mysterium
,
Puer
and
Gloria
.
The style is also very different.
Exit the catchy gospel singing which makes you clap your hands, the percussions and the blues and soul solos which characterized the previous disc.
Here, Kanye - who does not intervene at all - decided to produce more classic songs from the religious repertoire.
If Kanye West did not promote
Emmanuel
on his social networks, his wife, Kim Kardashian took care of it for him.
Perhaps a symbol of appeasement after the insistent rumors announcing an imminent divorce of the couple this summer, after several heated exchanges and revelations.
