    In my opinion it does glaze over the Nazi stuff. The volume and content of the posts was far more than just "praising Hitler." But true, it's a sad state of affairs that this is likely going to be more than many other publications give reference to.

    I find it somewhat refreshing how little I have seen about the new album anywhere

    Yeah the only reason I knew it even hit streaming was because of pitchfork having an article about how James Blake didn’t want to be credited on the album

    I saw that too and then saw he only said it because the song changed from his vision, not because it's Kanye or unauthorized or anything

    I’m pretty sure he’s back to being fully embraced in hip-hop and really, he never left because that Dua “Levitating” remix still gets played everywhere.

    Thankfully the times I've heard the radio and they play Levitating it's been the original version.

    He came out with an album in January that had a peak of #25 on the Billboard which is slightly higher than the album he put out fresh from that controversy, but nowhere near his pre-open shithead days

  17. Might be worth noting that Travis Scott, Cee-Lo Green, and Don Toliver are the most notable guests on that Kanye album that came out, but also who knows when their parts were recorded. Cee-Lo sucks anyways and it seems at least Travis is cool with him since he recently posted a pic of the two filming the music video that was released.

    Hey Chorus. Aiyana here. Been a while. I wanted to pop in and share some words as we near the 1-year anniversary of my post about you-know-who. I genuinely hope this is the last time he is mentioned on this forum (I know we're all tired of talking about it)!

    April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and with it coming up tomorrow, I wanted to take a moment to extend a sincere thank you to Jason and the community here at Chorus.fm. Almost a year ago, when I first shared my story about Brand New, you were the first people to truly amplify it and give it the respect it deserved. You chose to believe me and listen when so many others ignored, dismissed, or mocked me. You made space for my voice at a time when I felt extremely vulnerable and scared.

    Your support didn't just help my story reach other readers -- it helped me believe that speaking out wasn't a mistake. It helped me believe that truth and accountability matter, and that survivors really deserve a chance to be heard.

    It’s easy to forget how much impact acts of recognition and amplification can have. Thank you to those who supported me here for giving me the confidence to keep going and hold onto my truth during one of the most challenging and exhausting moments of my life. The simple choice you made -- to treat one survivor's story with care -- genuinely shaped the trajectory of my healing. Thank you for being champions of truth and for centering survivors. For proving that integrity still matters in spaces that often feel indifferent. Chorus.fm's initial share created a ripple of validation and support that I carry with me to this day.

    As the anniversary comes near, I am struggling with how to tend to the can of worms that has inevitably been reopened in my body and mind. But, I am a different woman today than I was a year ago. I’m happy to share that I’m getting married to the love of my life this year, I’ve recently taken on a new job with greater pay and benefits that allows me more rest and freedom, and the women who championed me last April (other survivors, supporters, women who were once in his orbit who know the truth) have become some of my closest allies. I am still in awe of all the beauty, friendship, and love that life has offered me in the last year.

    I want to encourage anyone reading this to reach out to the people in your life who may have been through something similar as we approach a month when these topics are often amplified. Keep lifting up the voices of survivors around you, even in small ways -- in a forum, a group chat, a friend circle, or simply by listening and believing. Not every story makes headlines, and not every survivor will be publicly recognized the way I was, but your support can still mean the world to someone brave enough to speak up. Small acts of truth-telling and amplification can make someone feel seen, believed, and less alone. Those ripples of care matter more than you might ever realize. Mad love to you all.
