Kanye West: "Heartless"

Kanye just released a new, yet unmastered, version of another single from the upcoming 808s and Heartbreak, titled Heartless. More singing, more autotune. Download link is via Kanye's Blog, because sometimes if I post songs like these on my own, I get threatened by Blogger for violating various publishing laws and they warn that I might get my site deleted. Damn.

Kanye West: "Heartless"

Bonus: Here is an excerpt from The Fader's recap of Kanye's album listening party:
As for album: yes, it's almost entirely sung by West, aside from one verse by Young Jeezy on "Amazing" and a duet with Lil Wayne; yes, it is sung almost entirely through Auto-Tune; yes, some people are not going to be sure what to make of it, but we applaud West's decision to step off a creative ledge wearing a jetpack that no one else is sure will actually work.

Granted, I do agree with all of that, and I commend Kanye's desire to just make music and get it out there. But it doesn't mean I'll indefinitely like the album. And for those that are getting less and less excited about this, Kanye claims that he'll have another album out in June.
