Kanye West – Flashing Lights

kanye-flashing-lights

You can’t keep Kanye out of the charts these days, can you? His latest, Flashing Lights, isn’t getting quite as much attention as his collaboration with Estelle, but it’s doing pretty well all the same.

Flashing Lights tackles the thorny issue of how famous folks manage to have affairs while they’re in the limelight. Basically, they can’t. And those flashing lights belong to the paparazzi that follow Kanye and his peers around everywhere.

It’s completely unlike anything Kanye’s released before. OK, it’s got a heavy electronic/synth sound that brings to mind a cross between Stronger and something Timbaland might cook up. That pulsing, insistent synth is fantastic.

The video’s a little bit on the disturbing side, I must warn you – a tied up Kanye gets minced up and buried by a girl with nothing but a bikini, a shovel and a psychotic attitude. Nice.
