Kanye West has said that his upcoming album Donda 2 will only be available to listen to via his Stem Player device. Apparently curtailing a release to streaming services Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube and digital downloads services such as iTunes and Amazon Music, Kanye posted to Instagram to let fans know the only way to listen to the album would be through the Stem Player, a device that was released by Ye in conjunction with last year's Donda.

The Stem Player allows fans to listen and remix songs; using the stems of tracks to influence and change the vocals, drum, bass, samples and more.

It's currently priced at £200. Kanye has frequently referred to February 22 as the release date for Donda 2. "Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes.

It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own," Kanye wrote - there is now a live order page for the Stem Player for fans to access.
