Kanye West & Paul McCartney Release New Song 'Only One', Listen Here
Kanye West has released a new song titled "Only One". The track is a collaboration that Yeezy wrote with Paul McCartney, who is playing the keyboard on the track but does not sing).
The song is a stripped down lullaby/ballad with West's vocals having the expected auto-tune sound that he uses whenever he sings on a track. The sound is much different from the music released on his last album Yeezus which was very aggressive in nature.
You can listen to the full song for Kanye's website and it is also available to buy now on iTunes.
This track is the first release from West's upcoming new album singing about his daughter, North: "Hello my only one / Just like the morning sun / You'll keep on rising till the sky knows your name."
Not only is "Only One" about his firstborn, a press release reveals that this latest cut is meant to be from the perspective of West's late mother, Donda: "My mom was singing to me, and through me to my daughter,"
West said in a statement that there will be more Kanye-McCartney tracks to come, so we will all be looking forward to that.
