The Life Of Pablo is a bit of a mixed bag – it’s difficult to find any coherence and the majority of the production would be described generously as rough. I’m hoping eventually he’ll recall the Tidal version and proclaim that was a bit of an early preview, but we’ll see.  That’s not to say it isn’t without its good points though, Real Friends, Wolves, 30 Hours (that Arthur Russell sample<\/em>), and I Love Kanye are all fairly solid efforts.<\/em--><\/p>\n

\"Kanye<\/a>

Kanye West “The Life of Pablo”<\/p><\/div>\n

My favourite at the moment is the weird and wonderful house track that closes the album called Fade. Fade is getting a lot of heat at the moment, and is being proclaimed as Kanye’s Worst Track\u2122. Now I’m a contrarian at the best of times, but Kanye West “Fade” is a fucking solid piece of house music. In fact I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to call it the best house track I’ve heard in the past five years or so. What it’s doing on a hiphop album released in 2015<\/span> 2016 I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Fade has a very steady 4\/4 beat, plodding along for a mere three minutes, and underpinned by the least ‘hiphop’ synth bass. I would never have guessed this was a Yeezy track, but that’s no bad thing. There’s a very poorly time stretched vocal sample (your love is fade \/ I feel it fade<\/em>) that is used as the main hook, layered against Kanye’s heavily autotuned vocal (when no one ain’t around, I think I think too much<\/em>).  I chopped female vocal stab is then layered against some soul backing vocals and lots of digital delay giving it a 90’s house vibe.<\/p>\n

I think it’s really interesting that Fade was included on The Life Of Pablo, but it’s such a lovely little track that I guess Ye thought it was too good not to use. That could be the case for the majority of the efforts on TLOP.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
