Kanye West Brings The Gospel Of Water To Coachella

Kanye West’s performance at Coachella is being talked about because he brought his Sunday Service to the festival and debuted a new song called “Water.” West has been hosting the Sunday Service by invite-only near his home in California since January. The Coachella show took place on a hillside with his band and choir. Teyana Taylor, Chance The Rapper and DMX shared the stage to sing, dance and pray. West’s setlist included gospel, house, R&B songs and his own music. It is assumed that “Water” which he performed with past collaborator Ant Clemons, will be on his forthcoming Yandhi album.
