Kanye’s latest hit features eerie vibes and a kind of rapping/singing style that is almost T-pain-esque. Kanye’s new album, 808 & Heartbreak, explores a completely different side of West’s music as he ventures into the darker realms of his personality.
In an interview with The Obsever, Kanye West told the magazine that the song’s chorus is about the end of his 18 month engagement with Alexis Phifer and the unfortunate death of his mother. He continued “That’s what this is- it’s a modern-day tragedy. Devastation. Multiple losses in life”
West uses Autotune software to help him sing on this track. He describes his new sound as “Pop Art” and not Hip-Hop.
Kanye told MTV News “Listen to it. That hook is, like, [really] good… Any rapper would've loved to rap on 'Heartless,' from a Wu-Tang to a West Coast rapper to a down-South rapper. 'Heartless' is a perfect rap beat, and the hook is like straight Broadway melody. The message is just incredible: 'In the night I hear them talk/ The coldest story ever told/ And far along this road he lost his soul.' It could be an opera."
Note: Kanye took the liberty to make an album cover for each of the songs on his new album, 808s & Heartbreak.
