Over at Opus, Jason Morehead has a great little writeup about a key song from Kanye West’s latest album:

But West’s ego is precisely why “Welcome To Heartbreak” works (for me, anyhow). There’s no doubt that West feels very free to speak his mind, and therefore, such a sentiment coming from him does feel like a peek behind the curtain, an almost intimate moment where you hear a performer express their deepest fears and doubts. Even awash in the cold, synthetic tones of Auto-Tune—like everything else on 808s & Heartbreak—the humanity is still on display.

Read the Rest.
