#269 Kanye West, 'Yeezus' (2013)

A prolific musician, ‘Yeezus’ is his 7th album in 8 years (if you count his collab album with Jay-Z). The album was very collaborative, and quite stark production-wise, in comparison to his older releases and described as being “very raw” by one of its many producers. West started the recording process in the loft of a Paris hotel, which led the recordings to be very simple with minimal bass so as not to overpower the room’s poor acoustics. As you’d expect, West would receive constant complaints from the neighbours as the sessions would last through the night.
