Kanye West "808's and Heartbreak" rumors from the label
I recently spoke to a Def Jam rep that sat in on a listening session of Kanye's new album 808's and Heartbreaks. He told me that the whole album was filled with auto tune singing and that Kanye continued to describe the album as a mix between Andre 3000's "The Love Below" (a legendary classic of epic proportions) and Common "Electric Circus" (a disappointing album that I thought was wack). I am not sure I understand the connection Ye is trying to make but I am assuming this means his album is Prince inspired which always seems to be a good thing in music. Kanyeezy also stated that 808's and Heartbreaks was something he was inspired to do and that he still plans on releasing a more hip-hop influenced album summer 2009. NO ID is working on this album too with Ye. Are you all ready for some holiday auto tune? Expect this album early December. Above pic = Kanye with No ID
