![]() ![]() "Welcome to heartbreak" is much more old school Kanye in it's approach due to its drums and more (for the lack of a better term) 'typical hip-hop' beat. ![]() The main difference hear is the tempo is more up-beat and song is uplifted with some beautifully arranged strings. "Bad news" tows the exact same line: 808s, sparse congos, tabla's and a piano. There are large sections where Kanye doesn't even utter a word. The song features no frills, no beat switches, no amazingly intricate musical flourishes - but is all the better for it. This song sets the tone for most of the album, which is simplicity. "Say you will" is a hauntingly stunning song with its choral lines, sparse congo drums and piano. We've all heard "Love lockdown" right? Well the album kicks off with a song in the same vein: "Say you will" - which has Kanye dragging us into his world of nothing but 808's and heartbreak. It's the all new singing Kanye which impacts you first. The album is divided pretty evenly between typical Kanye joints with new twists and the all new sparse and minimal 'singing Kanye' joints. He honestly couldn't have given the album a more fitting title. 12 tracks of literally nothing but 808s and fucking heartbreak. When Kanye called the album 808s & heartbreak, he was not joking. ![]()
