Album Spotlight: Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak

-
I wasn't that big of a fan of Kanye Wests' prior to the release of '808s & Heartbreak'. To this day I still don't know exactly what drew me to this album instead of his others. I know I wasn't very particular about 'Love Lockdown' or 'Heartless'; the single choices but everything else really spoke to me.

The opening song 'Say You Will' is complete with heart monitor sound effects and a very emotional entry on the album; one of my favorites. My favorite song on the album is 'Welcome To Heartbreak' featuring Kid Cudi and to this day I'm still miffed at the Kid Cudi feature cause it doesn't sound like him. I recently revealed to my friend Kid Cudi was on the track and she was just surprised as I was.

Other songs like 'Street Lights' are high on my list among favorites and one song I would play constantly. I have a lot of memories with this album. I remember playing it back on a road trip to Wisconsin during the Thanksgiving holiday. It was snowy out and I was hoping I wouldn't get caught in some blizzard.

It has recently been revealed that Kanye is working on his new album; 'Good Ass Job' which I'm sure will be a big departure from '808s' but I will check it out!

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
