“Moon” by Kanye West
Released 2021
“Moon” by Kanye West appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2021. It was first released in 2021. Its best result is #97 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2021. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #479 alternative song of 2021.
"Moon" comes from Donda, Kanye West's tenth studio album, from 2021, and it's Don Toliver and Kid Cudi who carry the vocals. West produced it with E.Vax, BoogzDaBeast and DJ Khalil co-produced, and they all share the writing with the two vocalists and Malik Yusef.
It came together in stages: West had built it before Toliver worked on it in 2021, and Cudi joined only after the album's first listening event that July. The finished track is a tender ballad laced with electric guitar, Cudi's lines turned toward looking inward and doing better, and critics mostly singled him out for praise. It reached 17 on the Hot 100 and went platinum in the US, and on Halloween the Sunday Service Choir recast it as gospel with Justin Bieber.
