Kanye West Is Back On The War Path & Setting Up The Release Of His Fourth Studio Album - 808's & Heartbreak. Love Lockdown Is The First Official Single From The LP.
Love Lockdown is 'interesting' to say the least, while I am not sold on the cut yet, I am totally convinced that I will be in love within a few listens. This is really nothing like Kanye has ever done before, he is pushing the envelope with this one. It will not have the same reaction as Stronger did from his last album, but trust when I say this one is hot.
The simplistic drum beat is a touch of genius, while he is an excellent 'Soul-Beat' producer, this is simply inspired. The track's only flaw is Kanye's vocals, he has never really tried to sing on a song before & even with his digitally encoded voice, it still comes across as 'shaky'. Still, no hating here, it takes some talent to make something so creative, modern, cool & radio friendly.
