So as we all know Kanye West premiered his newest track “Love Lockdown” back on September 7th on the MTV VMAs, then on Monday (8 days later) he announced via his blog, Kanyeunivercity.com, that he was in the works of re-recording the track with taiko drums and he also re-sung the vocals. Which brings us to today, well actually yesterday, the newest version of the track was leaked and we got it here for your ears. Also the cover artwork above is the latest version as Kanye had his artists re-work it slightly, well the font from the looks of it. This track is set to appear on Kanye’s upcoming album 808’s & Heartbreak, which has been said to be released in December of this year.

I have to say I quite like this track, but if Kanye is going to sing throughout the whole album, then I’m not so sure, but thumbs up so far on the change.
