'What he staged outside of Coachella during the early morning of the festival’s final Sunday was a nearly two-hour celebration of the gospel and soul music that’s shaped the framework of his artistry.' GerrickKennedy writes:
Kanye West’s Sunday Service was not a traditional Kanye West concert. It was a spiritual, had-to-be-there experience fashioned like a new-age Baptist church revival.
There were hundreds of singers, dancers, a full orchestra and West collaborators Kid Cudi, Ty Dolla Sign, Teyana Taylor and Chance the Rapper — all shrouded in various shades of dusty rose, some women in the choir styled with ashen blond extensions down to their ankles. The soulful harmonies of big-lunged church singers sampled and flipped on rap records have been a part of hip-hop’s DNA from the beginning. But rap fans who didn’t come up in households where the Clark Sisters and Curtis Mayfield soundtracked Easter Sunday dinners were likely unaware of these holy original texts.
Kanye West's Easter Sunday Service during the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club on Sunday in Indio. He barely rapped, or performed any of his music himself, even when debuting a new song titled “Water.” He largely ceded the spotlight to the choir and band as he pounded on his drum machine or got lost in the music.
Yet the past few years have tested West, personally and professionally, in ways from which he hasn’t fully rebounded.
