Rapper Kanye West has revealed he wants to release his next studio album in the summer of 2014.
However, the follow up to 'Yeezus' may only contain eight songs, reported Rolling Stone magazine.
"I think my next album is going to be eight songs. It's just reducing down the amount of information that you need. People say a design is the point where you can't take anything else away. Yeezus was very, very designed," West said.
"I took a departure from radio and popular music in order to get this seat here. If I hadn't made Yeezus, I wouldn't be sitting here with this cool font at Basel right here."
It seems West's studio sets are getting shorter and shorter, 'Yeezus' has been his shortest to date with just 10 songs and a running time of 40 minutes, which differs from the usual 12-13 songs that West usually settles on.
The 'Stronger' rapper's longest set is his debut album College Dropout' which contained 21 tracks.
