About Kanye West’s Waves from The Life of Pablo (2016)
“Waves” is about Kanye’s relationships with loved ones. Waves never truly die; they flux and reflux, but are ever present. The song features Chris Brown, who first worked with ‘Ye on
“Down”
in 2007. This marks the duo’s third collaboration, after also joining on
“Deuces (Remix).”
Chance the Rapper is credited with completing this song. When Kanye shared the
tracklist’s first version
of
The Life Of Pablo
(then called
SWISH
), “Waves” was originally part of it. The song was scrapped when Kanye
revealed the final album title.
After the Yeezy Season 3 presentation/album listening event in Madison Square Garden, the album release was delayed because
Chance The Rapper insisted
that “Waves” should be on the album. This led to Kanye making fun of the situation
on Twitter
while Chance shared that he was proud of his decision. Chance The Rapper also co-wrote Waves, there is a demo shared of the original version in
Chance’s interview with Zane Lowe
.

The first song Kanye sent me is “Waves.” He sent me that in December. It was different than it is now. I remember one night we were all just sitting there and I was hoarse from a show the night before where I lost my voice. I was in New York listening to the latest edit. Chris Brown was already on it and we were thinking about how we could make it better. Chris really has this amazing voice. But there were all these ad-libs around it. So I cleared out all the extra so we could just hear him. That’s ultimately what you hear now. We all bounced ideas around and came up with this minimal version. Once we got that, I hummed on it a little. Kanye had been working on that album for a while. And as you can see, it’s still changing. That song wasn’t even going to make it. But I was like, “We have to do something.” And then Chance the Rapper pushed. And Mike Dean and Plain Pat were key players, too.
How is Akon credited on the song?
Between the 1:00 and 1:05 marks of the song, an ad-lib saying “yeah” is featured on the song. As Akon is credited with having background vocals, it has been assumed that this is him, but with the amount of detail and layers of “Waves,” it is highly possible that Akon has more vocals than this single ad-lib on the song.
This audio from YouTube will start at 1:00, right before Akon’s ad-lib appears on the song:
