Kanye West. He’s made a bit of a fool out of himself in the odd year or so hasn’t he? He’s created quite the stir on twitter by following a boy from coventry (who is friends with my housemate ricky. I know, small world!), ruined the best moment of Taylor Swift’s life, even the president has called him a “jackass.” It seems only fitting that he should make such a startling comeback. The lead single of his latest album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”, “Power” is a definite tongue in cheek look back at this turbulent time in his life. It’s this period through Kanye’s own, rose tinted geek glasses point of view. The talent that Kanye has shown so many times throughout his glittering musical career is very prominent here. His witty lyrics are at their best with so many wonderful one liners throughout, my personal favourite “They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation/Well that’s a pretty bad way to start a conversation." Take that world! On top of this he’s created a bridge between his old hip hop roots and his new electro direction of recent so effortlessly where others have struggled so badly. Yes he’s a prick, but with this song there’s no doubting the man’s talent and after the breakdown of sorts he’s had this year, he’s made one hell of a good comeback. Not bad for a gay fish.
