Kanye West changes name

Kanye West has changed the name of his album.

The ‘Only One’ hitmaker is set to release his hotly-anticipated LP but has decided to ditch the original title ‘Swish’ in favour of ‘Waves’.

Sharing the news with his 17.6 million followers in a series of tweets, he wrote: “New album title, WAVES … #Waves the album formally known as Swish … I got this record n*****s can’t even play before 2 am. (sic)”

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old rapper has offered his thoughts on his own album, insisting it is “the best album of all time”.

Taking to the micro blogging site, he wrote: “This is not album of the year. This is album of the life …

“So happy to be finished with the best album of all time (sic)”

Meanwhile, work has only just finished on the album as his sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian previously revealed he was finding it difficult to narrow down the track list as there were so many “genuinely terrific songs”.

She said: “He has so many songs that we – I act like I’m recording them – that he can’t figure out what he wants to put on his album. And they’re all genuinely terrific songs.”

“He is so passionate. He’s like, every bit the meaning of an artist.”

‘Waves’ – formerly known as ‘Swish’ – is expected to be released on February 11.
