5 things to know about Kanye West's third listening party From Kim Kardashian's return to Kanye on fire

It's been over a month since the first listing party organized by Kanye West to present his tenth studio album, Donda. As you know by now, despite three events and a lot of hype, the record still seems to be a mirage, between reality and meme suspended in a continuous succession of rumors and statements of characters more or less close to Kanye. Beyond the music, however, there is the event, once again full of iconic moments that seem to continue to tell a story that began in Atlanta and continued in the new location in Chicago.

To better understand Donda's third listening party, nss magazine has listed 5 things to know about the event staged at Soldier Field in Chicago.

Beyond the music, however, there is the event and its more metaphorical meaning. Many of those present compared this third listening party to a theatrical production both for the complexity of the staging and for the richness of meanings. Above all that of "protection", a concept visible in the bulletproof vests worn by Kanye and the rest of his crew, but also by the Balenciaga bear-repelling jacket seen in the second show. Precisely in this sense, the presence of DaBaby and Marlyn Manson, both at the center of accusations and controversies, could be a further confirmation of the theme chosen by West. In this third appointment, however, we have seen above all what could be a closing of the circle, which began with the first listing party and came to fruition in this third show, in which a Kanye on fire is then reunited with Kim Kardashian in a tale of fall and a rebirth that could bode well for Donda's release.
