Kanye West is back at work on his next album.

Kanye West is back in the studio working on his next solo studio album, Bully. A photo of West recording new music in front of a piano surfaced on social media, Monday morning. Fans online have been elated to see West back in the studio.

"Any piano folks able to ID the piano? Steinway Grand pops to mind as someone who knows little about pianos. I see Kanye with a piano and good memories come to mind," one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), referencing the rapper's hit song, "Runaway." Another user admitted: "I’d be lying if I said that I’m not Atleast interested in what Ye is going to offer with this Bully album."

West first announced his new solo album during a performance in Haikou, China back in September. “I got a new album coming out,” he told the audience at the time. “The album’s called ‘Bully,’ and this song is called ‘Beauty and the Beast.'” Performing over a soft instrumental, West then sang: “I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect.”
