Cards on the table here, “leak” is probably a bit of a long bow to draw here. It’s footage of a public display that’s made it outside of its intended viewing boundaries – like someone filming a movie from inside a cinema.
But hey, footage is footage. A leak is a leak. And smartphones are an inevitability.
Kanye West has unveiled the Steve McQueen-directed video for two tracks off the upcoming album – tentatively titled “SWISH.”
The nine-minute long video covers the previously released single “All Day,” as well as the unheard track “I Feel Like That.”
The clip was shot in London – reportedly in three takes following McQueen’s instruction to West to “beat himself up” prior to the shoot – and is currently being publicly displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Because when you’re Kanye West you can just kinda do that sort of thing and no one questions you (until afterwards).
Normally the display is a strictly “in person only” type affair, but because despite it being 2015, we’re clearly living in 1984. And thus some sneaky little sod managed to gather footage of the clip and smuggle it out of the museum undetected.
Copies of the clip are being taken down as quickly as they’re put up. So get involved while its hot. The music quality? It ain’t so great. But you take what you can.
SWISH is due out at some indeterminate point this year and knowing Kanye, will probably only be available on player piano roll.
