Kanye West continues to be in the headlines for so many reasons, whether it’s because his album The Life of Pablo is polarizing listeners, or because of his beef with Taylor Swift, his SNL meltdown, or one of his zany Twitter rants, and now because a number of his songs are being leaked on to the internet.  According to XXL, alternate versions of ‘Fade,’ ‘All Day,’ ‘Highlights,’ ‘Only One,’ ‘Wolves,’ (which leaked midday yesterday), and ‘FML‘ featuring Travis Scott are being mysteriously uploaded online. A reference track titled ‘Fell Out of Heaven‘ featuring The Dream and Bon Iver has been leaked, as well as a demo track titled ‘A Powerful Mind’ featuring Swizz Beatz and a song reportedly from the MBDTF sessions titled, ‘Mama’s Boyfriend.’

Kanye West managed to keep The Life of Pablo from leaking before it was released, which is a feat not many artists are able to accomplish these days. But it seems as soon as his album was released the flood gates opened and songs continue to wash ashore. Enough songs have leaked to create an entirely new album satirically titled ‘The Leaks of Pablo.’ Although we don’t know whom or why all of these songs continue to leak, no one seems to be complaining about more new music from Mr. West.

With almost an hour before 2014’s closing Kanye West released “Only One” featuring Paul McCartney. On the heartfelt track Kanye voices the words of his mother Dondra, who reminds him that even though she is gone physically she is always supporting him and watching from above.

Among the things that Donda reminds her only son this stands out, “Hello my only one remember who you are, no you’re not perfect but you’re not your mistakes.” As the song goes on his voice fades, and the instrumental takes on the soothing sound of a lullaby as a way to pay tribute to West’s only one–North. The track is now available on iTunes, but before you cop take a listen to it below.
