Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are set to captivate fans in France with an exclusive “listening experience” for their collaborative project, “Vultures,” scheduled for later this week in Paris.
Taking place on Sunday (February 25) at the Accor Arena, the event promises an immersive encounter with the highly-anticipated album.
Tickets for the Paris event are currently available for purchase through the arena’s website, offering fans a chance to be among the first to hear the new music.
This event follows two previous listening experiences held in Italy, with sessions in Milan and Bologna leading up to the Paris showcase. Tickets for the Italian events can be acquired through the respective venues.
In October 2023, speculation arose regarding a potential performance by Kanye West at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy, organized by Italian promoter Vivo Concerti. However, the event was never officially confirmed.
Interestingly, Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign have ties to Italy beyond their upcoming listening experiences. Both artists collaborated with a group of Inter Milan super fans on “Vultures 1,” featuring the Curva Nord Milano fan group as backing vocalists on tracks like “Stars” and “Carnival.”
Yet, “Vultures 1” has faced its share of controversies. Recently, the album encountered issues when the track “Good (Don’t Die)” was removed from Spotify due to a sampling dispute involving Donna Summer’s 1977 disco hit “I Feel Love.”
The drama extended to the album’s distribution, as it was temporarily removed from Apple Music following a complaint from its distributor, FUGA. However, a new distribution agreement was swiftly reached with Label Engine, facilitating the album’s return to streaming platforms.
In response to the challenges, Kanye West urged fans on Instagram to purchase the album directly from his website, Yeezy.com, emphasizing his dedication to sharing his music despite setbacks.
Amidst these hurdles, the estate of Donna Summer expressed dissatisfaction with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s alleged unauthorized use of “I Feel Love” in “Vultures 1,” citing copyright infringement concerns.
