Looks like Kanye West isn’t done tweaking with his new album. This morning, Yeezy appeared on Big Boy‘s radio show to talk about the album, amongst other topics. When asked if Waves was really the album’s title, he said: “We don’t have a name yet.” Update (10:38 a.m.): Listen to the interview below. 

Previous titles for the album include So Help Me God and Swish. His wife, Kim Kardashian, recently posted a Twitter poll asking fans which title they liked the best. 

In the interview, Kanye called the record “a gospel album with a whole lot of cursing on it,” and spoke about collaborating with gospel singer Kirk Franklin. He also addressed his recently resolved beef with Wiz Khalifa, whom he attacked on Twitter over the perception that Khalifa was disrespecting his wife. “I just want to show I’m a family man,” he said.

Kanye also offered a partial apology for claiming he owned Wiz’s child: “The people who felt a way about the kids comment, I didn’t mean it in a harmful way.”

Finally, he was asked about whether Drake’s pool is bigger than his, and responded: “I have three pools.”

Waves (or whatever it’s going to be called) will be released on February 11. The album will premiere at a Madison Square Garden event that will be streamed at theaters across the world. Today, tickets for U.S. theater performances are on sale, as is the album pre-order.
