I'm excited about Kanye West's new album coming out.
Where the last album was definitley radio friendly, "808 & Heartbreak" should push his fans to expand their musical minds.
"Paranoid" is a great tune because it has very 80's feel about without feeling retro. The track is already getting played on BBC 1 Xtra in England, but it will be interesting to see how the album "808" will sell in America.
Although West uses auto-tunes quite a bit on "808", U.S.fans should not expect a T-pain or Lil Wayne type album, but one that musically and lyrically pushes himself and artists to grow; an evolution that most great artists make to seperate themselves from the pack.
In essence, "808" might be the album that Mr. West will finally win The Grammy for "Album of The Year". (808 & Heartbreak will be released on 11/24)
