Nick Cave is a real big fan of Kanye West, according to a recent statement.
The beloved singer-songwriter launched his Red Hand Files web portal as a means of communicating with fans, and it’s become a beautiful source of wisdom from the artist over the last couple of months.
Over the weeks, Nick Cave has opened up to fans through the site on issues of love, loss and of course, music.
One fan in the latest instalment asked him if he liked Kanye West, and – as usual – the songwriter went a little deeper.
“Making art is a form of madness – we slip deep within our own singular vision and become lost to it,” he observed. “There is no musician on Earth that is as committed to their own derangement as Kanye, and in this respect, at this point in time, he is our greatest artist.”
So, there we have it.
