If you’re not broke from blowing $225 on sweatshirts that say “Holy Spirit,” it looks like you can spend what’s left on a new Kanye West album next month. This comes via Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, who took to social media with a photo just brimming with tantalizing details. Scribbled in a notebook are what appear to be 12 song titles, which come headlined with the words “Jesus Is King.” Below it all is a date, September 27, which one might safely assume will see the release of this new LP.

For ages it appeared his next album would be the much-delayed Yandhi, but talk of that project died down as the rapper focused instead on gospel-flavored performances he called Sunday Services, the likes of which culminated with a much-discussed Coachella set. It makes some kind of sense, then, that he’d call his new album Jesus Is King, even if it muddies up his own self-deification efforts.

Nevertheless, ready yourself for another Kanye news cycle.
