The One About the Love Lockdown

I'm sure you guys have seen the performance by now. (That beating heart on the blazer? HA! Untouchable.)

It's sure to be one of his most divisive songs; it's another Yeezy x Auto-Tune collabo, minus actual rapping. I'm betting a whole mess of people are gonna be less than ecstatic about this song, whilst the rest of us are gonna hail it as one of this year's most addictive and captivating songs.

Go ahead and place me firmly square in the middle of the latter group. Shotgun bandwagon? Hells nah, son. Everyone else can have shotgun. We've been driving the damn thing for five years.


"I'm in love with you, but the vibe was wrong. And that haunted me, all the way home."

"So you never know, never never know. Never know enough, 'til it's over, love. 'Til we lose control, system overload, screaming, 'No, no, no, no, no.'"

"See, I wanna move, but can't escape from you. So, I keep it low, keep a secret code, so everybody else don't have to know."

"I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true."

"I can't keep myself and still keep you, too."

"How many times did I tell you before it finally got through? You lose."

"I've got no one new. I know I said I'm through, but got love for you. But I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to."

"Only God knows if I'll be with you. Baby, I'm confused. You choose."

"Where I wanna go, I don't need you. I've been down this road too many times before."



Call me a sucker for Auto-Tune, but in my ever so humble opinion, the way dude uses it, he makes it sound SUPER OFFICIAL. It really augments the emotion behind his music when he uses it properly. I know he can't sing, but if he keeps this kinda shit up, I'm willing to look past that. That's not why I idolise him, anyway. It's because he's utterly trippindicular, and in the immortal words of Paul Levesque, he's just that damn good.

Over and out.
