On Saturday night, Kanye West wanted fans to be prepared for some big news. He tweeted out “New Album title….” five minutes before the announcement of “So Help Me God,” along with the new album’s cover art.

The announcement comes after West’s appearance on The Breakfast Club last week, during which he talked about his album, saying it was “80 percent done.” He told fans to expect “bars, songs, cookout…music that just feels good.”

“My last album was a protest of music,” he added. “This album’s just embracing the music, embracing joy, and just being of service to the people.”
