808's and Heartbreak Album Art

Here is some album artwork Kanye West's upcoming album 808's and Heartbreak courtesy of Hypebeast. This is the same outfit he wore when he debuted Love Lockdown at the MTV Movie Awards a little while back. In case you didn't know, 808's and Heartbreak will be done completely in auto-tune, with Kanye doing less rapping and more singing than he's ever done. From the 3 songs I've heard so far, (Love Lockdown, Heartless and Coldest Winter) this album seems much more personal and stripped down production-wise than Kanye's previous albums, especially Graduation. This album will probably appeal more to Kanye's die hard fans and not so much to the general public like Graduation did, but I got a lotta respect for his change in direction and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does. 808's and Heartbreak hits stores on November 25.

  1. Haha nice to see he's getting away from the teddy bears, but why is he doing a whole auto-tune album?? I guess at least he's honest about having no real singing ability :p
