The latest leak from Kanye West´s upcoming album is called Amazing. It features Young Jeeze who does the rapping. The song is melancholic and auto-tuned like most of the material we´ve heard from the album. Kanye´s 808s & Heartbreak is out November 24th.

Is this like the 4th leak from Kanye´s upcoming 808´s & Heartbreak album? I´ve lost track… The song is called Anyway, it´s again heavily auto-tuned, but quite upbeat compared to the other leaked tracks.

The third track from Kanye´s upcoming album 808´s & Heartbreak leaked yesterday. It´s a track called Robocop and the auto-tune feature is again very heavy. The leaked tracks are gettin mixed reviews from fans, and Kanye already changed Love Lockdown according to the feedback. What I´m getting from these leaks, is that it we will hear a good concept album, not a parade of hit singles.

This is what Kanye had to say about Robocop on his blog today:
I DID NOT LEAK ROBOCOP!!!… THAT’S NOT EVEN THE FINISHED VERSION… I’M PRETTY UPSET ABOUT IT BUT THAT’S THE WAY LIFE IS SOMETIMES! 10.26.2008

What a great mashup, DJ Earworm put together Kanye West´s Love Lockdown and Radiohead´s Reckoner. Download Reckoner Lockdown here.

Here´s another leak from Kanye West´s upcoming 808´s & Heartbreak. The track is called Coldest Winter and it samples Tears For Fears, the British duo from the 80s. Kanye said that 808´s & Hearbreak comes straight from his heart. Coldest Winter is a sad, touching song. And what a cold year he had, the man lost his mother.

Listen to Coldest Winter by Kanye West (not very good radio rip):

Kanye West lets us listen to his new track Heartless. He released the studio version of the song in its full-length, unmastered form on his blog. Heartless is from his upcoming album 808’s & Heartbreak.

Heartless is a sad love song, melancholic story “coldest story ever told” about a girl who´s left Kanye´s character. Well, it´s not the coldest story ever told, it´s bitter… Anyway, I like Heartless in its simplicity, but I´m not sure what to think about the auto-tune´d singing.
