Let’s give it one more try! Ahhh, My prayers have been answered!! As you all may have seen during the VMA’s (remember my search of “Love Lockdown”) several Sundays ago, Mr. West debuted a new tune titled, “Love Lockedown”, the first single from his peculiar, but probably groundbreaking new project, 808’s & Heartbreaks, which is scheduled to hit Decemeber 16th.  Now if you remember, the live version of “Love Lockdown” sounded extraordinary; revolutionary even. I couldn’t tell you how excited I was for the CDQ (CD Quality) version to hit my inbox. Little did I know, my life would change and I would cry for endless nights.

Upon hearing the final version of “Love Lockdown”, I wondered so many things about the track; it’s inspiration, the concept, when it was conceived, was it a planned track or something that just happened on a sporadic occurrence. All these things were running a full marathon around my brain, albeit information regarding the project and the song itself was still obsolete.

Then, the worst happened; I HATED THE FINAL VERSION. It sounded unfinished and carelessly mastered. You know when you’re hanging your clothes out to dry and you one of your shirts doesn’t dry all they way, but you still try to wear it because deep inside you just know it’ll magically dry and become this wonderful piece of clothing you envisioned it to be? Well, that’s EXACTLY what happened with the final version of “Love Lockdown”. HOWEVER, in a surprising twist, Mr. West recently hopped on his blog and informed the internets that a newer version of “Love Lockdown” is on its way. Says Ye, “Your prayers have been answered!! There’s a new version of love Love Lockdown coming. We used new taiko drums and I re-sung it… it’s being Mastered now….Here’s the newer artwork with perfected type 4 all design snobs lol…Sidebar… if you don’t like autotune… too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!!!”

Sighs….I can finally breathe easy now…

Sincerely
