Kanye West is once again making headlines, this time for the unique influence his daughter, North West, is having on his highly anticipated album, “Bully.” In a recent interview with Justin Laboy, Kanye shared that North, now 11 years old, suggested a release date that coincides with her birthday—June 15. This revelation adds a personal touch to what is expected to be yet another controversial and innovative project from the Georgia/Chicago icon.
“Bully” marks West’s 11th studio album, and its announcement has been surrounded by typical Kanye flair and speculation. Initially revealed during a performance in China last September, fans have been eagerly anticipating updates on the album’s progress. Over the past months, snippets have surfaced, generating varying levels of excitement among listeners. While the initial teasers sparked considerable enthusiasm, the quality of the more recent snippets has led to some debate among fans, particularly regarding the use of remixes from tracks by Future, such as “Magic Don Juan” and “LIL DEMON.”
Adding to the intrigue surrounding “Bully” is the ongoing discussion about Kanye’s potential use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the album’s production. In his interview, he expressed a desire to help facilitate AI’s acceptance in the music industry, stating that he has been incorporating the technology into his creative process. This has raised eyebrows among even the most dedicated Kanye supporters, with many questioning how AI will influence the sound and authenticity of the project.
When asked about the release date during the interview, Kanye reflected on North’s suggestion, recalling that his iconic album “Yeezus” was released on June 18, just a few days after her birthday. After a brief moment of consideration, he confirmed, “Yeah, so we are gonna do it on your birthday. That’s when we’re gonna bring ‘Bully’ out ’cause that’s her favorite album.” This personal connection to the release date adds an emotional layer to the upcoming album, emphasizing the bond between father and daughter.
As the countdown to June 15 begins, fans are undoubtedly excited yet cautious, knowing that with Kanye West, anything can happen. The anticipation surrounding “Bully” continues to grow, especially considering West’s history of bold, sometimes polarizing releases. While we await the arrival of this new project, it’s clear that North West’s influence will play a role in shaping not just the album’s release but also the narrative surrounding it.
