Ok, this isn’t related to movies, or at least not yet. Who knows who Kanye West will tap to create videos from his new record, 808s & Heartbreak (he’s already worked with auteurs like Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze, we’re sure Sofia Coppola isn’t far down the road).
There was a listening party for the album last night and the Fader was there. The gist of it? According to this sentence the album is destined to make us cringe throughout. “As for album: yes, it’s almost entirely sung by West, aside from one verse by Young Jeezy on “Amazing” and a duet with Lil Wayne; yes, it is sung almost entirely through Auto-Tune.” “Love Lockdown” already makes us wince, so this is going to be bad. Someone put a ban on Auto-Tune already. It’s killing Weezy, too.
