After several changes, Kanye West has announced the new name for his album, T.L.O.P. which stands for “The Life of Pablo.”
He’s also shared the final tracklist,The Life of Pablo will premiere on Thursday, February 11,at an event at New York’s Madison Square Garden. West’s album was originally called So Help Me God. In May 2015, however, after two months with its original title, West changed the name to SWISH. (At the time, West presciently tweeted, “I might change it again but that’s the name now.”)
Last month, he changed the title once again, this time to Waves. Waves was, by far, the most controversial title, sparking a beef with Wiz Khalifa on Twitter. (The beef was quickly resolved.) Then, last week, Kim Kardashian West posted a poll asking fans which album title is best. West, himself, said “We Don’t Have a Name Yet.” As of now, it is called The Life of Pablo.
This is also not the first time West has shared his album’s tracklisting. While the album was still Swish, he shared a tracklist that included “No More Parties in L.A.” (That tracklist went on to become a de facto sign-in list for anybody possibly involved with the project.) Conspicuously, “No More Parties in L.A.” is absent from the “final” tracklist. Ironically, West raps “I feel like Pablo” multiple times on the track, something that fits with the project’s new title. Previously heard songs “Real Friends,” “Fade,” and “Wolves,” however, are still on T.L.O.P.
