After Kanye West hijacked Taylor Swift's acceptance speech with his own declaration of Beyonce's superiority, he became the butt of jokes for anyone with a picture and something funny to say like immaletyoufinish.com.
Taylor Swift even jumped in on it during her hosting of Saturday Night Live. It appears while West did apologize for his actions, he was brooding... about as much as one can brood in Hawaii. And of course, no matter how secluded an artist keeps their music, something is usually leaked to the internet. This song is called "Power."
It has a great beat with all the Kanye West classics including sampling, piano, a little vintage sound from a synthesizer and no auto-tune this time. It also features Dwele. Kanye talks about how "No one man should have all that power." It goes from there to a jab at SNL and then on to letting everything go and jumping out the window. The beat keeps you but around the 3rd or 4th listen, you pay attention to the lyrics more. Destined for radio? I believe so. I'd listen to it again.
Kanye, thanks for doing irrational things that made us laugh. Glad to have you back.
