I’m not able to listen to the album yet. His last project didn’t feel thorough and I don’t remember anything on it that compelled me to listen again.

Still, I’m always hopeful for any artist who’s put out high quality work before and I can even stand some “unfinished” work because creativity doesn’t always arrive by the dictates of the market.

His politics are troubling, to say the least, but I don’t expect to gain political insight from any pop star.
