SWISH!

That's the new title of Kanye West's new album. Yes, that's right, he's changed his mind.

"I'm changing my album name to SWISH," the 37-year-old hip-hop star tweeted on Sunday.

"I might change it again but that's the name now," he added.

Kanye had announced on Feb. 28 that his seventh studio album would be titled So Help Me God and shared a photo of its cover art, which features a religious symbol.

He has since then released new songs, such as "Wolves," "All Day" and "Only One," a tribute to his and wife Kim Kardashian's 1-year-old daughter North West. It is unclear if the tracks will be included on SWISH the album, which does not have a release date.

He had said on the Power 105 FM radio show The Breakfast Club that the new album is about "just embracing the music, embracing joy and just being a service to the people."

The word "swish" appears to bear a special meaning for Kanye.

In March, after the season 10 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians premiere showed Kim, 34, taking part in a nude photo shoot, Kanye posted several screenshots of his wife, saying, "SWISH!" a couple of times.
