After a handful of delays, Kanye West<\/a> will release his new album, Jesus Is King<\/i>, this Friday, October 25th.<\/p>\n

West tweeted the release date early Monday morning alongside a photo of Jesus Is King<\/i> pressed on blue vinyl. The album\u2019s arrival will coincide with the release of West\u2019s accompanying film<\/a>, also titled Jesus Is King<\/i>, which will premiere in IMAX theaters on the 25th.<\/p>\n

West first teased Jesus Is King<\/i><\/a> at the end of August. At the time, the rapper\u2019s wife, Kim Kardashian West, posted a photo of what seemed to be a track list with the tentative release date, September 27th. West later confirmed that date on his website, although come September 25th, sources close to the situation confirmed to Rolling Stone<\/i> that it would not arrive<\/a> on the scheduled date. And while Kardashian West promised the record would actually arrive Sunday the 29th, it never materialized.<\/p>\n

But instead of releasing the album that weekend, West scheduled<\/a> a mysterious event in Detroit where he ended up premiering<\/a> the Jesus Is King<\/i> film. And, a few days later, he hosted a listening party in New York City for the then still-in-the-works record<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jesus Is King<\/i> follows West\u2019s 2018 solo effort, Ye<\/i><\/a>, and his collaboration with Kid Cudi, Kids See Ghosts<\/i><\/a>. The Jesus Is King<\/i> film, meanwhile, was directed by Nick Knight and will reportedly feature West\u2019s Sunday Service choir as well as footage of artist James Turrell\u2019s never-before-seen installation in Arizona\u2019s Painted Desert.<\/p>\n
