If you watched the MTV Music Video Awards a few nights ago (or a rerun on Music Music), Kanye debuted a new song titled "Love Lockdown". I happen to have a studio version of the song --- however it isn't the finalized version as it is evidently not mixed well. Anyways, take a listen:
Kanye West - "Love Lockdown"
(to download click "divShare"...password is talk2em)
This apparently is the lead single for his upcoming album due out in December 2008 (alongside Kanye's "big brother" Jay-Z's album) titled "808's & Heartbreak". It's rumoured that...it will be "auto-tune heavy" meaning a very large bulk (if not all of it) will be Kanye's voice being auto-tuned. What's auto-tune you ask? It's the voice alternater that T-Pain made ever so famous.
Now whether that is good or bad news I dunno --- IMO Kanye's voice can somewhat pull it off. If you liked his songs "I Wonder", "Drunk and Hot Girls", and "Flashing Lights" you'll love his upcoming CD. Which means, don't expect some lyrical rap verses. Expect something completely different...hell it might not even be hip hop! Instead expect Kanye to experiment more with the singing/auto-tune combo.
Think of it as him stepping out of his element and growing as an artist...
