Kanye West: 10 Best Songs You Haven't Heard

7. Saint Pablo (feat. Sampha)

The Life of Pablo was the messiest release of all time. So much so, that many people had given up by the time, it came to all streaming services. The album was re-edited countless times, with one of the final edits including the song 'Saint Pablo'. The song foreshadows the spiritual direction Kanye has turned to, with verses contemplating his plight in the world of fame.

Sampha emotionally delivers on the chorus, again with references to religion like 'you're lookin' at the church in the night sky, and you wonder where is God in your nightlife'.

The song also comes with a high profile sample, Jay-Z's 'Where I'm From' is used, with the metallic noises across the track. With a melancholy piano loop also, together it creates an atmospheric track that closes the album perfectly.
