Laying on the floor with a mic above him, Kanye West starts off his performance on the SNL40 special with “Jesus Walks,” after spitting a few lines from it, he gets up and recites the lyrics to his “Only One” single. Wearing creepy light blue contacts during the performance, Kanye is then joined by singers Vic Mensa and Sia for his new song “Wolves” that was heard at his recent fashion show collaboration with Adidas at NYFW. Sia, wears a wig that hides her face while she sings and then Chicago’s own Vic Mensa takes over. All three stay low to the ground on the black and white set, which makes their movements limited. The dark and artsy performance is hypnotizing yet simple.
The late night show Saturday Night Live celebrated 40 years of comedy with guest from the past and the current, along with music performances.
Produced by Cashmere Cat and Sinjin Hawke, “Wolves” is first track that will be featured on Kanye’s upcoming album.
Check out the performance above.
