 Grammy Award winner Kanye West returns to the UK with his Glow In The Dark Tour starting at London 02 on Wednesday 12th November and ends on Monday 17th November at Manchester MEN Arena. After releasing Graduation, his 3rd album last September he has had none stop success with a string of singles including #1 single “Stronger”.
On Graduation, West continues to break rules and obliterate boundaries, pushing the music and the genre forward as only he can. Heavy synth patches surface throughout, as the influence of global pop culture and a retro-future aesthetic seeps into Kanye’s signature, soulful, sample-laden sound. Lyrically, West vacillates between the contemplative and the irreverent.
On “Good Life”, Graduation’s third single, Kanye and T-Pain encourage us to, “throw ya hands up in the sky” over a lazy, irresistible, PYT-sampled beat. On “Homecoming”, a sparse, piano-and-drum driven track co-written by and featuring Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Kanye continues to pay homage to his native Chicago as Martin asks, “Do you think about me now and then? Well, I’m comin’ home again… maybe we can start again”.
Kanye West’s last two albums, ‘College Dropout’ and ‘Late Registration’ have sold over 8 million albums worldwide to date. ‘Graduation’ launched Kanye West further into the stratosphere of greatness he currently resides.
