Kanye Working On New Album
He’s inspired by classic soul singers rather than autotune…
Monday, January 4, 2010 - 14:45
Kanye West has revealed that he is working on his fifth album.
The rapper took to his blog to tell fans that he is back in the studio creating new music.
He wrote (in block capitals of course): “FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR CONSTANT LOVE AND SUPPORT OVER THESE PAST 6 YEARS! I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN THE STUDIO MAKING NEW MUSIC.
And after turning to Radiohead, Coldplay and Portishead for inspiration on his last album 808s and Heartbreak, Kanye said he had been looking at classic black artists for new ideas.
He said: “IT'S FUNNY HOW SO MANY RAPPERS GET WORSE AS THEIR CAREERS STRETCH OUT BUT TRUE POETS GET BETTER. WE WILL FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MAYA ANGELOU, GILL SCOTT-HERON AND NINA SIMONE. THEIR WORK IMPROVED WITH TIME.
“THEY DOCUMENTED WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN CULTURE. THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE MODERN DAY ARTISTS AND POETS.
He continued: “LET US LOOK PAST HEADLINES AND DEAL WITH JUST A BIT OF REALITY IN THIS NEW DECADE. WE HAVE OUR OWN OUTLETS NOW. WE DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING ANYMORE.
Before adding: “NOW I'LL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THAT RHYME LOL!!!”
Good luck with that Mr. West!
