Kanye WestLate Registration
$50.00Call to Order
A film score crossed with a hip-hop record. Jon Brion's orchestral arrangements. Strings, horns, woodwinds, celesta, harpsichord, and Chinese bells. Gave Kanye's soul-sample-flipping a formal scale no rap production had previously attempted. 'Gold Digger' with Jamie Foxx channeling Ray Charles spent ten weeks at No. 1. 'Touch the Sky' with Lupe Fiasco exudes ambition with a pinch of disco. 'Gone' is the most sonically gorgeous track. Kanye contemplating leaving fame over lush, layered production. He envisioned each song as a scene in a film, spending roughly $2 million to synchronize them. Rolling Stone's best album of 2005.
