His songs on the album had soul and hidden meanings at a time when everyone was trying to figure out his ‘innovative’ thinking and ‘artistic’ views. Although the artist faced many trials and tribulations in 2008 after losing both his mother and fiancé, his fans appreciated the variety of music he released. This is the sound his fans missed when he released his “Yeezus” album in 2013.

The original song has a slower, calmer instrumental, which is definitely an older West feel to the music. She has accomplished great things and worked with influential musicians to be a current “doctoral candidate in composition at Princeton.” As mentioned on her bio page, Shaw is a trained violinist, Grammy-winning singer and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013. The song features Caroline Shaw, a violinist from New York. “808s & Heartbreak” was listed under Rolling Stone’s “40 Most Groundbreaking Albums Of All Time.” So, it’s not a surprise he decided to rework a track from the album. West also brought back “Say You Will,” which was chosen to be remixed from “808s & Heartbreak,” which wasreleased in 2008. “Riding down the 405, baby/Pacing, thinking, to myself/If I should make it right/When I pulled up to the light.” West’s theme may be honesty, even chasing someone to fix a relationship. Lyrics like “ money is the only thing I’m chasin,’” are replaced by The Weeknd’s. Unlike The Weeknd’s version, which focuses on drugs, sex and a reckless lifestyle, West’s is slightly emotional. West never fails with his creative lyrics.

The quick two-minute song still uses the album’s original, unforgettable beat. Like his albums, “Yeezus” and “808s & Heartbreak,” West plays around with auto-tune.

West’s follow-up remix, “When I See It,” is just as impactful. Along with Abel Tesfaye’s, known to the world as The Weeknd, smooth voice, there was no doubt this song would be a hit. West, 38, actually produced the track “Tell Your Friends,” which explains the ‘throwback’ feel with the song’s piano hook. Have you heard Kanye West’s two new songs this past week? This ‘lyrical genius’ released a remix to The Weeknd’s song, “Tell Your Friends,” from his new album “Beauty Behind the Madness,” according to the RTT newswire.
