Kanye West - ye (2018)
Kanye's stripped-down eighth album was recorded in Wyoming in two weeks and offers an unusually raw, introspective look at mental health and bipolar disorder.
Released on June 1, 2018, ye is Kanye West's shortest album — seven songs recorded largely in Wyoming in two weeks. The album opens with the line "I hate being Bi-Polar / it's awesome" and offers an unusually direct look at mental illness.
Features Ghost Town (widely considered the album's emotional peak), Yikes, Wouldn't Leave, and Violent Crimes. Debuted at number one.
Despite its brief runtime and rushed production, ye contains some of Kanye's most emotionally transparent moments. Ghost Town in particular is a transcendent piece of music.
