New Kanye West - "Heartless" (Live In L.A.)
The new official release date of 808's & Heartbreak is 11/25. That comes straight from the mouth of Kanye onstage at Key Club in L.A. this weekend, which is an even more primary source than his blog considering his blog is written by robots and interns. West was in the club for a MySpace show celebrating T.I.'s Paper Trail and walked on for "Swagga Like Us," "Love Lockdown," and a verse from "Heartless," a new cut slated for 808's. The clip's brief, and though the lyrics are trading in "Lockdown"'s heartbreak, it's clear the new record won't be a concept album built solely on downcast beats and autotune.

OK, jury's still out on the autotune part. The L.A. Times reports Rihanna was on hand, too, to join T.I. on the Numa Numa sampling "Live Your Life." In other Kanye news, his Curb Your Enthusiasm-styled HBO show got the red light. But the puppet show is unfortunately still a go.

This is heading more in the right direction.. Love Lockdown is trash, but this is sounding, dare I say "dope". Can't wait to hear this one..

not better than love lockdown at all. i'd like to hear it so i can actually hear the verses, and yeah that autotune is horrible.

It's way better than "Love Lockdown" for sure. I really liked "Lockdown" when it was first released, but now I realize it's just a plain boring and repetitive simple song. The only interesting thing about it are the drums on the chorus. "Heartless" is, at least, more powerful, and more... Kanye-style.

I think this is a full as a song you'll find on YouTube. Has 2 verses. Quality is crap but lyrics are on the right.
Score = 0
good lord, this is like 'gone' meets 'good life'.
honestly i don't see the big deal with the autotune either. i think it fits the synth-pop aesthetic rather than having a john legend clone just sing the hook on each song.
Score = 0
Sounds like he borrowed the Still DRE from the doctor. Sounds like a heater.
Score = -1
Is the whole album going to be in autotune?
I never thought I'd say this but Kanye West is starting to bore me.
