Kanye's Journey into R&B

| music |

I picked up the new Kanye West CD at Barnes and Nobel yesterday and I am loving it. It is his first venture into the R&B scene. I guess the cool thing to do now-a-days is change your voice like T Payne does, but its okay. The Album as a whole is completely different than anything that Kanye has done in the past and its great. Its such a interesting fusion of music. Similar to my comments about Serj Tankian’s CD the use the Piano a lot and it sounds great. I guess the Piano is making a comeback.

My two favorite songs are Heartbreak and Love Lockdown. It is hard to find fresh music these days but compared to all of his other albums this is a complete transformation.
