After many long months of cryptic behaviour, Kanye West's new album YE has finally arrived.

The album isn't yet appearing on streaming services, but Pitchfork and others are reporting that people who purchase merch bundles on Kanye's site will receive a digital copy on the 1 June release date (Mashable has reached out to confirm details of this).
Not too long before you'll be able to give that thing a listen yourself.
