Singer Kanye West says from now on he will only record gospel music.

West reportedly made the comment Saturday during a listening party in Chicago for his new album, “Jesus is King: A Kanye West Experience,” according to local music promoter Andrew Barber.


"Kanye also announced that he is no longer making secular music," said Andrew Barber, owner of music media company Fake Shore Drive. "Only Gospel from here on out."

Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, earlier this month told "The View" that the new album was instrumental in West becoming a Christian.

"Kanye started this to really heal himself and it was a really personal thing, and it was just friends and family,” she said earlier this month. "He has had an amazing evolution of being born again and being saved by Christ."

The tracklist for the album is laced with references to Jesus, God, or the Bible. “Baptized,” “Sweet Jesus,” “Garden,” “Selah” and “Water” are some of the tracks, to name a few. West and his Sunday Service choir premiered “Water” during a Sunday Service session at Coachella Easter weekend.
