We already know that “Power” is the first single off Kanye West’s forthcoming album Good Ass Job. What you didn’t know is what exactly ‘Ye was thinking when he wrote the song. Though it’s still up for interpretation, I think we can all deduce what was West takes away from his masterpiece single by looking at the George Condo album artwork that’s tagged with the track in iTunes. At the end of the song West says, “You got the power to let power go.” It appears as if this severed head belongs to Kanye, and the sword left in it plus the bloody residue represents the death of the old egotistic, power-hungry Kanye and the birth of a new man. What kind of man that is we still don’t know; but there was no Taylor Swift type incident at the BET Awards last week, where Kanye performed a fantastic rendition of “Power”, and that’s a good start.
Head over to iTunes to download the “21st Century Schizoid Man”-sampled track and start anticipating the rumored September release of Good Ass Job.
