Okay. So Mr. West has leaked out another un-mastered track from 808s & Heartbreak called “Coldest Winter” and guess what? Yup…he’s rockin’ the auto-tuner again. Actually, something about this track is kind of appealing to me…the beat and organ backing work very well and the auto-tune doesn’t seem quite so Tpain-ish, but like I said before…I’m not sure how a whole album of this will feel. It could be genius. Hmmm….Mr. West….hmmmm….
mp3: Kanye West – Coldest Winter (thanks to East Of LA for this)
Really this is turning out to be a massive buzz generator for the album…almost over shadowing the upcoming release of the new Jay-Z…think that has anything to do with it?
Hey thanks for shout to EastofLA.com appreciate, I’ve heard about & been to your blog before, glad you had a chance to check my space out. Adding you all to the blogroll hope you can reciprocate.
is this version good quality?
No it appears to be either ripped off the radio or off of the low quality video that has been circulating the internet.
“…and the auto-tune doesn’t seem quite so T.I.-ish, but like I said…” … do you mean t-pain-ish?
thanks for the typo correction bumbaclot…i just fired my editor…wait…i am the editor.
kanye seems to be aiming for a pretty wide demographic… 1st he samples tears for fears for this “coldest winter”, and according to wiki, he’s sampling rilo kiley for another. sorry for the run ons…

surely he must have gotten permission from them right?
it would be shocking if he didn’t clear the samples.
typical (new-style-vocorder-nonrapping) kanye…..enuff said
I love the fact that Kanye is experimenting with various styles of music. This is a sign of a true artist. Look at the Beatles for example, their sound was constantly evolving, they tried new things. That is what true Artist do, they evolve. Let Kanye express this period in his life artistically, as HE wishes. If you don’t dig it, don’t cop it.
He is blatently ripping off Tears for Fears ‘Memories Fade’ and barely changing the lyrics, i guess i’m old enough to have the original. Apparently other stuff on the album i didn’t recognize but is similarly ’sampled’ http://www.pigeonsandplanes.com/2008/11/808s-and-heartbreak-songs-kanye-sampled.html
Between Puffy ripping off Every Breath You Take and Kashmir (into ‘Come with me’) and this …
