Kanye West: 808's and Heartbreak

On September 7, Kanye West debuted with a new song called Love Lockdown at the MTV Music Awards. This was a new style for Kanye, was many people weren't really used to Kanye not rapping. Love Lockdown features no rapping and only singing using an auto tune device (similar to synthesizer). The new song will appear on Kanye's upcoming fourth studio album, "808's and Heartbreak. You can probably hear it somewhere on the radio. The second song is called Heartless, which he performed at various concerts recently.

With this being said, everyone that enjoys rap or hip-hop should be excited. Kanye is one of the smartest lyricists out there. Some people may not agree with what he says, but the way he says it is mind blowing. For this album, Kanye decided to really change things around and use his auto tune sound for most of his songs. Bits of the album have Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne, but otherwise the whole album is sung by Kanye. Here is a tentative list of the tracks:

1. "Welcome to Heartbreak"

2. "Heartless"

3. "Love Lockdown"

4. "Robocop"

5. "Anyway"

6. "Streetlights"

7. "Say You Will"
