After tweeting and deleting a 20-song tracklist on Saturday, Kanye West tweeted a new tracklist for his album DONDA tonight. He says it’s coming out on Friday. The 12-track LP follows his previous announcement that a new album called God’s Country was in the works. See the working tracklist for DONDA below.
The new tracklist for DONDA does not include the recently released single “Wash Us in the Blood.” In addition to one song called “God’s Country” and another called “In God’s Country,” the album also includes “New Body.” The track was originally set to appear on Jesus Is King with Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign, but was dropped from that album.
DONDA follows Kanye’s 2019 studio album Jesus Is King, which landed in October of that year following multiple delays.
DONDA is not the first time West has changed the title of a project ahead of its release. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was originally slated to be called Good Ass Job; previous titles for The Life of Pablo were SWISH and Waves. News of the album arrives as Kanye has been rolling out a presidential campaign.
The roll-out for Jesus Is King coincided with Kanye’s Sunday Service gospel and worship series. On Christmas 2019, Kanye released Jesus Is Born, an LP of recordings made by his Sunday Service Choir. Kanye also staged two biblical operas last year: Nebuchadnezzar at the Hollywood Bowl and Mary at the waterfront Miami Marine Stadium.
In 2018, Kanye released ye as part of a string of albums he produced, including his collaborative LP with Kid Cudi KIDS SEE GHOSTS. There’s also a new animated series of the same name on the way, featuring West as a bear and Kid Cudi as a character named Kid Fox.
In September 2018, Kanye West announced he would release his ninth studio album, titled Yandhi.[2] He later went to form his gospel group, the Sunday Service Choir,[3] in January 2019. This sparked a transformation where West described himself to be "radically saved." West enlisted a personal pastor for weekly Bible studies[4] to further his journey into religion.

In August 2019, West's ninth studio album was re-announced as Jesus Is King.[5] In September 2019, West stated that he was no longer making secular music and that Jesus Is King would have no explicit lyrics.[6] Jesus Is King was ultimately released on October 25, 2019;[7] the companion gospel album Jesus Is Born was released on Christmas Day.[8] On November 18, 2019, West announced on Twitter that he was working with Dr. Dre on a project entitled Jesus Is King Part II.[9] The announcement arrived just three weeks after Jesus Is King was released.[10
The new Donda tracklist does not include West’s recent single, “Wash Us in the Blood,” which arrived last month and featured Travis Scott, mixing from Dr. Dre and an accompanying video directed by Arthur Jafa. It does, however, include “Donda,” which features audio of West’s late mother reciting part of KRS-One’s “Sound of Da Police.”
As Pitchfork notes, the tracklist also features a song called “New Body,” that was previously slated to appear on West’s last album, 2019’s Jesus Is King, with a guest verse from Nicki Minaj. That version, however, was ultimately cut over creative differences.
