Although Kanye West’s entire new album, “The Life of Pablo,” remains exclusive to Tidal, the artist recently released a single onto rival services like Apple Music, Google Play, and Spotify (via Pitchfork). The song available is called “Famous,” and is described as “a sinister reflection on fame – featuring a Rihanna hook and brilliant samples” by the Editor’s Notes on Apple Music.
The release of Famous comes a few weeks after West tweeted that The Life of Pablo would “never never never” come to Apple Music or iTunes. The context of that tweet may point towards a less-than-serious mindset from the artist, because around the same time he tweeted about being $53 million in debt while using the social network to ask for money from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
In the transition to the new services, Famous also got a lyric change. The line reading “she be Puerto Rican day parade wavin'” was replaced with “she in school to be a real estate agent” on Apple Music, Google Play, and Spotify. Those interested can listen to Famous from The Life of Pablo on Apple Music here.
