Now on to Kanye. Similar circumstances, another album born of heartbreak that sadly, it seems will not be understood until 10 or 20 years from now. The critics are basically panning this album, just like Marvin’s, saying that maybe Ye should have not shown so much emotion on this project. I beg to differ. Have you ever wanted to write something special for someone, even on a Valentine’s Day card, and not know what to write??? Okay, now imagine being Kanye West, one of the most successful producers on the planet, with these emotions running around inside you that aren’t rhymes, but more like songs of confession and pain. Hello auto-tune.

I love this project unlike many others that have voiced their concerns for Kanye’s ability to deliver a solid project. To me, executed with beautiful precision and the grace that comes with bearing it all, “808′s & Heartbreaks” is Kanye West’s “Here, My Dear”. That project by a world class artist that will be misunderstood until our minds free themselves enough to digest it’s aural elegance, heartfelt lyrics and trend-setting production. Hopefully, it will be sooner than 20 or 30 years from now…..

Standout songs: : “Say You Will”, “Welcome To Heartbreak”, Heartless”, “Amazing”, Paranoid”, “Street Lights”, “Coldest Winter”

GO ‘YE! <3
