Yep. I made sure I stayed up until after midnight so I could check iTunes. Did so. Saw nothing.
Got up at 6 this morning and went right for the iTunes Store. What's this? OMG it's something new! Click, Severian, Click! Buy!!!
But nope. Just a pre-order for an April 14 release that's apparently just called "ALBUM." and has all black cover art and no track names.
I'm hoping this is just place-holder information. Call me shallow, but I really hope the album has an actual name cover. I would be way more on board with the idea of doing a nameless/faceless thing if he hadn't JUST done EXACTLY that with
untitled, unmastered. To do pretty much the same thing for what's supposed to be a next-gen project that he did last year for his coda project for 2015's album... it feels way too much like he's repeating himself.
I'm sure it will be dope even if it's called "ALBUM" and has an all black cover (cuz there aren't enough "Black Albums" in the world with Prince, Metallica, and Jay Z), but I'd rather it have a bit more to it.
God dammit I was really excited to wake up to a new Kendrick album. Now I have, like, no reason to feel happy today. Guess it's gonna be a "hit-the-bar-alone-after-work-and-watch-the-Mariners-probably-lose" kind of day.
