Kanye West unexpectedly updated his official Soundcloud page and shared two new songs. The first song is a new version of "Say You Will," with the help from violinist Caroline Shaw. Shaw and 'Ye performed with each other at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in San Francisco. Kanye perviously saw Shaw perform at a recent show in NYC and recruited her for his performance at the fundraiser, according to The Atlantic.

The second song is his own version of the Weeknd​'s "Tell You Friends," which he renamed "When I See It." It is also important to note that Kanye produced the song for the Weeknd for the singer's album Beauty Behind the Madness. Both songs are fantastic and give off vibes of 808s & Heartbreak. Kanye performed his fourth album 808s & Heartbreak in its entirety at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. IBNJasper confirmed the new tracks are official, but didn't go into detail as to why Kanye decided to drop the songs today. It's highly unlikely that this isn't nothing more than free music and their is still no word on when fans can expect his new album Swish yet.

The cover art for the two songs is a photo by photographer Nick Knight. It was included in Knight's portfolio and exhibition titled Flora in 2012. Knight was the director for the music videos for Kanye Wesr's "Black Skinhead" and "Bound 2," which were two singles off Yeezus.
