Ghostface Killah to release album via Stem Player
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 10 January 2023
Ghostface Killah has announced that he will release a new album on the Stem Player later this month. It comes as the company behind the device – Kano Computing – attempts to distance itself from Kanye West, who became very associated with the player via his ‘Donda’ releases, of course.
The gimmick with the Stem Player, you may remember, is that you can remix the different stems of each track. Something we’d all enjoy doing, I’m sure. Perhaps not long enough to justify the device’s price tag though.
Ghostface Killah-branded Stem Players are available for pre-order now. However, you should note that the full ten track album will only be available with purchases of the black ‘premium’ edition, which costs $360. A cream version is cheaper at $240, but only comes with five tracks.
Both are also loaded with videos (which you can’t watch on the player, it having no screen) and provide access to “meet ups and concerts”.
A track from the album, ‘6 Minutes’, is available to listen to via the Stem Player website in exchange for an email address. Existing owners of the digital music player can also start remixing that track straight away – although they will have to sign up to a $20 a month subscription service first.
There is more info on all this here, if you have more money than you know what to do with.
