808s & Heartbreak CD by Kanye West 

New Kanye West Album!

2007 was a hard year for Kanye: His mother died, and his marriage was called off.  Rampant with introspection and emotional turmoil, 808s and Heartbreak is a classic break-up album.  This genre includes pop classics like Marvin Gaye's Here my Dear and Joni Mitchell's Blue.  808s is a pop album, with almost no rapping on it - something new for West.  Instead, he makes heavy use of retro drum machines, synthesizers, and an Auto-tone voice tuner.  The result is a musically inventive, wobbly crooning that pushes into new musical territory.
