A new song by Kanye West called Power has leaked online.

The track is the first time fans have heard anything from his fifth album Good Ass Job- which is due in September.

On Power Kanye doesn’t use the autotuned singing that featured heavily on his last album 808s & Heartache. Instead it harks back to the rapper'searly material.

Instead the song is based around a sample from British prog-rock group King Crimson. West uses the hook from ‘21^st Century Schizoid Man’ intermittently on the bass heavy track.

Power then breaks down after three minutes to feature a more gentle piano and sung vocal- from Dwele.

The song then ends on the 1969 vocal sample and a blast of guitar. Some sites are reporting that Power will be the first single taken from West’s next album.
