You cannot currently upload your own songs to the player, and Ye, being Ye, is unlikely to ever relent on this front.
The STEM player is a small circular device that easily fits in the palm of your hand Wikimedia Commons / Jeff Castillo () Every track currently available on the system will set you back around £4, with a $200/£160 price tag overall. Not only is it a toy, but it’s an expensive one. The player allows a user to split any of the 39 pre-loaded songs into “stems” these can then be customised and manipulated with buttons and sliders. So, what is the STEM player? Well, it’s a toy, akin to the electric keyboards kept in the music department of every primary school – one button for Für Elise, another for a shout of “ DJ!” etc, etc – only the STEM player will not allow a proficient musician to play any song they happen to know: rather, any user is curtailed to the same 39 songs, all of them tracks by Ye himself. Even if Ye is an artist who has superseded his art, his musical downfall has been a sight to behold.ĭonda was an improvement on 2019’s Jesus is King, but only a slight one, and Donda 2, which was released as an unfinished product on Ye’s STEM player in February this year, has seen him fall to perhaps his lowest point yet. He dropped Donda in August 2021, yet the resultant stench of anticlimax could not pervade the nostrils of the public more than his well-documented split with Kim Kardashian or his rivalry with Drake.
He’s spent his career making sure of that fact, elevating himself as a brand to the point where his media personality has eclipsed his music. You know who Kanye West (now known officially as Ye) is.
