Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Kanye West returns to the spotlight with the most unexpected release of the year entitled 808’s and Heartbreak. 808’s and Heartbreak chronicles the devastating loss of his mother Donda West, and a failed shot at romance with his one time fiancé Alexis Phifer, while also paying homage to one of the most rootsy, minimalist electronic instruments ever designed, the “Roland TR-808” drum machine, and believe me, the 808’s and heartbreak are sure to be found everywhere throughout the entire album.
