Last night (11 February) saw Kanye West drop the long-awaited new album The Life of Pablo at a live event which coincided with the launch of his new fashion line.
However, fans desperate to dissect the album today have a bit of an issue on their hands - the record is yet to formally drop.
If you're wanting to hear the album again, you can do so by rewatching the bizarre fashion party launch via Tidal, but for those wanting to purchase their own copy (pretty much all of you), it's currently unknown just how - and when - Kanye plans to actually release it.
Quite a clever move on the rapper's part; through the live event, which took place at Madison Square Garden, he has forced people (a reported 20 million) to also sit through the launch of his Yeezy Season 3 fashion line when they otherwise might have not.
Combine this with the fact he streamed it across 23 countries worldwide, including sell-out cinema shows, and what Kanye has perfected there is the art of self-promotion.
Still, The Life of Pablo can't be too far away; with no mystery surrounding the album itself, West has officially revealed the full tracklisting which has thrown forth a few surprise treats - one being a collaboration with Frank Ocean.
Other collabs include songs with Rihanna, The Weeknd and his friend Kid Cudi, who was there alongside him as he debuted the album.
