Ye, or Kanye West as he was previously called, is up to date with the new album Donda 2. The release date has already been set for 22/2, but now the world star announces that the album will only be available on his so-called Stem player.
Launched last year
The Stem player is a player that Ye launched last year.
The user has the opportunity to listen and change Ye's music productions.
For example, you can remove or add elements such as bass, drums or the text track.
The price tag is 200 dollars, which corresponds to approximately 2000 Swedish kronor.
“Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform the Stem player.
Not on Apple, Amazon, Spotify or Youtube.
Today's artists earn only 12 percent of the income that the music industry draws in.
It's time to free the music from this oppressive system.
It's time to take control and build our own, ”Ye wrote on her Instagram, urging her followers to buy the player.
History repeats itself
This is not the first time Ye has released his music exclusively.
In 2016, he released the album The Life of Pablo exclusively on the Tidal service, which was newly launched and owned by Jay-z.
The Life of Pablo led to the download of Tidal soaring and the app became the most downloaded in the United States.
But within a week, even half a million illegal downloads of the album had been made.
The following month, The Life of Pablo was available on other streaming services.
