808 & Heartbreak

OK. So I’m sure that this isn’t news to most people reading this (particularly anyone who owns and/or has watched the boob-tube anytime this century), however speaking as one of the last people in the country still, living on the fringe - without a television at home, recently listening to Kanye West’s ‘808 & Heartbreak’ for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised – I thought it was his best album yet! I listened to it from beginning to end, despite some fears of imminent disappointment looming the entire time, or at the very least boredom (I’m not the biggest fan of some of his earlier “work”…and I think that’s enough said). BUT. Being a person who can admit when I stand corrected; I stand corrected. It was great! I found his beats and arrangements different, interesting, and even calming. I listened to it a second, and then a third time right away - every track! This album is soulful and shows real evidence of growth and maturity from the one and only
``K-weezy``…


If somehow you haven’t already, I suggest making some time to have a listen some time soon!! My personal favorite tracks on the album:

‘STREET LIGHTS’, WELCOME TO HEARTBREAK’ the title-track, & ‘AMAZING’
