Apparently a new version of Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown” has been released. Other than the mp3 being of higher quality, I don’t really hear a difference. People tell me the chorus has changed also? I don’t know. You be the judge.

Thanks for the track! Let’s hope Kanye deflates his head long enough to make a great record come Nov/Dec.
version 1 was pretty raw, its more obvious that he used the increasingly-popular-amongst-rappers vocal changer on this version.
and at 0:34 his vox get fuzzed up, which sounds pretty cool, but the effect is never used again in the song. i don’t know how i noticed that, it only last like 2 seconds.
i personally like the original version better, its more un-edited, which gives the song more emotion, in my opinion.
thanks for the track, can’t wait for the cd!
Dude, the drums during the chorus totally give the song a whole new sound. It is more polished, I think it sounds magnificent!
i still like the VMAs version better. But this version compared to the first is a much different sound. I think it sounds great.
This is version 2 of 35, trust me. Much better then the first one though, I’m curious to see what the finished product is going to be.
There is a defintie difference.
- The drums knock differently.
- His vocals aren’t as muddy
- He sings the song slightly differently
Everything about this new version is much more polished. I liked the original version as it was, but love this one even more. I thought Kanye was going to make more changes and go overboard, but I’m glad he didn’t – because the simplicity of the song is what makes it work for me. That and the fact it’s different from everything that’s out right now and anything he’s done before.
this is definetly a sharper sounding song. But the original is has more of a deep personal sound to it. Don’t get me wrong it’s still banging thou!!!!!
The bass just drops in a system.
