Kanye West reveals surprising CD cover for Yeezus album
Published: 2013 June 02 16:08:23 (6761 Views)
Kanye West has ended social media speculation over the artwork for his forthcoming album Yeezus by releasing the surprising cover online.
The rapper confirmed the design on his Twitter page, releasing a picture of artwork which consisted simply of a clear CD case sealed by a red sticker with the album's title written on it.
The artwork has since appeared on his official website, along with a preview of album track Bound, which can be heard by visitors who run their cursor over the image.
Radio 1Xtra presenter DJ Semtex also confirmed that the unlikely image was in fact the album's cover.
'Forget everything else you have seen, this is the official artwork,' he said. 'No cover, no booklet, just a sticker on the reverse of the package with the tracklist.'
Previous reports had suggested that West might be opting for something a little more controversial, after an image appeared on Twitter showing him nailed to a cross – although this was later revealed to be fake.
Another early version of the artwork continued the clear CD and sticker theme but also featured melted gold.
Yeezus – which reportedly features 14 new tracks by the rapper – is due for release on June 18.
