Although the ballad was released in October, it’s been undoubtedly tugging on our heartstrings ever since. Lending his own musical genius to another rendition of the song is none other than Mr Kanye West. One of his more recent Sunday services saw a moving, heart-swelling chapter for the song led by Ye’s gospel.
A large part of what made this particular rendition quite so powerful was that it was, alongside the entire Service in late November, dedicated to Virgil Abloh.

West’s Sunday Service choir sang new lyrics set to Easy on Me and the performance was live-streamed briefly at dondalive.com on the day. The song came equipt with a screen that paid tribute to the brilliance of Abloh, reading:
“In loving memory of Virgil Abloh, the creative director of Donda.”
