entitled "808s and Heartbreak"comes out on November 25th and here's the video for "love lockdown" he premiered on Ellen last week. i have no friggin clue what's going on in this thing, i just really like the song, which is why i'm sticking it out until i hear "808" to full decide whether or not i'm into a 'more soulful'/singing version of Mr. West. it feels like only yesterday he was trying to thump 2 Bits (that's 50 Cent for those of you not into old-timey hip hop talk) for the best record sales of the day, though that was actually almost 15 months ago.
i am pretty intrigued since "808" is technically a break-up album, and who can't relate to that. kanye had some crazy listening party for it the other night and said the album was about "emotional nakedness" and "the freedom to do what you want to do." whatever the F that means, i'm excited and intrigued and hope it's as enthralling as my current favorite breakup album (which is also one of my favorite albums of all time) Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black." We shall see.
