Kanye West Reveals New Album "Made in Florence"

Bear with us on this one. Kanye West is currently set to wed his fiance Kim Kardashian in Florence on May 24, and according to the Google translation of a recent interview with Italian newspaper La Nazione, ‘Ye either created the Yeezus follow-up in the same city where he is set to wed or is titling his new project Made in Florence.

Due to the language barrier present with regards to English-speaking media, Google’s translation service has been the online news media’s guide to reading and understanding Kanye’s new interview. So, either the album title could be Made in Florence, or the album was simply “made in Florence.” Considering Made in Florence isn’t a very “Kanye” title, and that Kanye constructing an entire album in an artistic stronghold such as Florence makes complete sense, we’re going with the latter. Plus, he also mentions something about the “silence of the countryside,” and based on what we’ve seen with past pieces, La Nazione would have placed quotations around the quote if it was an album title. But, at the same time, “Made” is clearly capitalized, so it could go either way.

The full quotes from the Google-translated interview contain oddly-translated remarks about “watching fabrics,” clothes as sculptures, donating walls of flowers, and “days” he “rejoiced,” so much of the piece is basically “lost in translation.” Though nothing fully concrete can be deferred from the interview at present time, this can be definitively stated: there’s a new Kanye album on its way.
