Jesus Is King is the ninth studio album by Kanye West. The richly produced album follows a Christian theme, with West describing it as "an expression of the gospel." The sample of a 1974 tune by Christian soul act Whole Truth on Follow God is neck-snappingly good, the kind of textured punch that, still, only West seems capable of; the effervescent triumph of the On God beat, the result of a Pi’erre Bourne collaboration, is one of the most immediate joys whilst Use This Gospel is a glowing deployment of the stylistic muscle West developed on 2013’s Yeezus.
