The details regarding Kanye West's new album are still vague, but one piece of information has come into focus. Producer Evian Christ, who worked on last year's Yeezus, talked to self-titled about contributing to the album (as Radio.com points out). "I’ve got to get home and write an Otis Redding–style beat for him," Christ said during self-titled's interview. "[Kanye] e-mailed last night. He wants something that sounds a bit like Otis Redding, a bit like Mobb Deep."

He also said, "Kanye is the one dude who’s like, 'This is not experimental enough. This is too poppy. Make something else. The other guys are like, 'We don’t get it.'"

He added: "Kanye is a dream to work with. No one else gives you that level of creative freedom. When he wants you to work to a blueprint, the blueprint is: 'Don’t make a rap beat. Anything but a rap beat.'"

Update: Evian Christ has shared a remix of Young Thug's "Stoner". Download it here. He also Tweeted this about working with Kanye:
