The fortnight has really been huge enough for Kanye
West as a day before, Kim
Kardashian, fiance gave birth to
their first child Kanye’s sixth studio album Yeezus leaked online to a blogging frenzy. And His
label is reportedly hunting for the leaker, while the rapper Kanye
West has said no at all about the
early drop.
Rapper is
nothing if not controversial, with I Am a God and Black Skinhead
song titles including an infamously interviews. Kanye West has become one of
hip-hop’s most original and skilled voices since his 2004 unveiling. His
decade-long ascension reaching new heights with 2010’s critically revered My
Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
West’s most adventurous album to date, as referred
to by Billboards
and noting its blend of genres and those looking for vintage soul sounds or
even full-on raps from start to finish will be thrown several curves here.
It’s an
album with numerous emotional layers as well. As a Billboards pay particular attention to New
Slaves a cut West played on SNL after having projections of his face
singing it displayed on buildings around the world. This album version is just
as glutinous Billboard writes. It drastically transforms into
something soulful and visceral at the end, with West hopping on the
voice-altering device Auto-Tune to sing.
Rolling Stone’s Jon Dolan agrees. “If the overall
feel is jarring, the sonic palette is as typically rich as ever. There's
bunker-club hipster dance music, ring-the-alarm Jamaican dance hall, forlorn
Auto-Tune soul, crackling old-soul samples and downcast techno rap,” he writes.
“Yeezus is the
darkest, most extreme music Kanye has ever cooked up.”
Dolan
also shouts out executive co-producer Rick Rubin, who “gets a
beard-load of credit for helping make what could've been an assaulting overload
feel contained and of a piece. He and Kanye deployed a less-is-less strategy,
making sure that every conclusive hit has maximum impact.”
