The rapper previewed a brand-new collaboration with James Blake, rumored to be titled “Always,” on Monday at a Burberry after-party in London. Ye joined Jordss in the DJ booth and gave the anticipating crowd a taste of the catchy track using his iPhone. Ye continues to sing the “always” hook while Blake’s vocals are audible.
Some fans believed the song was a sample, but Blake clarified the situation.
Does not ‘always’ sample. He tweeted, “It’s new.

The Yeezy mogul was joined by Bella Hadid, Daniel Kaluuya, Erykah Badu, Naomi Campbell, and Ye’s ex Irina Shayk for the after-show to celebrate Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2023 line.
Ye also unveiled some dubious new shoes while in London for Fashion Week. He was spotted wandering the streets wearing bejeweled flip-flops, which elicited conflicting reactions on social media.
However, Ye didn’t appear to care about the criticism, stating, “Don’t talk to me,” alongside a snap of his shoes on Instagram.
