...and he only found out by listening along to the livestream of Yeezy's new album like the rest of us!

UPDATE: Kevin Parker's team have since let triple j know he was mistaken and isn't on the album. We'll bring you an official statement as soon as we can.

Original story below:

Tame Impala linchpin Kevin Parker has discovered he has contributed to Kanye West's new album YE. The moment he realised he'd made the cut was during an interview with triple j Mornings' Linda Marigliano, for an upcoming episode of Under The Influence.

“Holy shit!” the Tame linchpin exclaimed while hearing his work livestreamed during Kanye's Wyoming listening event. “That’s such weird timing! I had this weird premonition of this exact scenario," he told Linda.

The frontman explains that Yeezy had invited him to send along any beats he was working on. The Perth muso sent along a production he'd made sampling 'You Keep Me Hangin’ On', by '60s pysch-rockers Vanilla Fudge (a cover of The Supremes song). He even some of the guitar riff down the line to Linda.

Parker continues: “I was like, ‘Oh, he obviously hasn’t used it’. I hadn’t heard anything back and wasn’t invited [to Wyoming] – that doesn’t bode well."

However, the second-to-last track on YE features Kid Cudi rapping over some wailing guitars, which is a chopped-up version that "used bits" of Parker's original.

Hear the moment Parker and his girlfriend realised that the Tame frontman made the cut on Kanye's first album since 2016's The Life of Pablo.
