So far, I have heard 5 tracks leaked from Kanye Wests newest album, 808s and Heartbreak (named mainly for 808, a drum machine he seems to have used for a lot of his beats and the general topic of the album), set to be release later this month (the 25th I believe). I have to be honest, I'm not quite sure what to think. The first time I heard Love Lockdown, I absolutely hated it, but it has since grown on me. The other 4 songs that have leaked were produced in a similar fashion to Love Lockdown, with Kanye singing a lot through an auto-tuner, which is what gives his voice that robotic feel.
I have posted the 5 songs I have heard so far here, in the order that they will be on the album (a full track list is at the bottom of this post). I have read a lot of mixed reviews, some people are really excited about this new sound from Kanye, and some just wish he would go back to rapping instead of trying to become a singer. I for one am still on the fence about it all. Seeing as how Love Lockdown grew on me, I am going to have to let these new ones soak in for a while before I make any final decisions. Take a listen and see how you feel about it...
