KANYE WEST 808s & Heartbreak (2008 UK CD album - '808s and Heartbreak' is the groundbreaking new album from Kanye West. A year after 'Graduation', the record is a marked, adventurous departure from West's previous sound, and a bold, unprecedented move into auto-tune laden nu-soul, as showcased by the outstanding lead single, 'Love Lockdown'. Recorded in Hawaii, '808s' refers to West's insistence that each track had to feature TR-808-generated drumming. 'No typical hip-hop beats. They've gotta be tribal drums.' The only guests on the album are Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne and background vocals by Kid Cudi - Kanye sings every other verse himself!
