New Kanye West Music Video- “Welcome To Heartbreak”

Make sure to download the newest episode of the pmaCAST: Looking Better, Shining Brighter Than You Do, featuring Four Tet, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The xx, Yeasayer, Department of Eagles, Hot Chip and more.

Not quite sure what I think of this  (intentionally) distorted, pixelated video. It goes with the depressed, low-fi song and all, but it isn’t too enjoyable to watch. Your thoughts? Thanks to Stereogum.

  1. I think that the video being intentionally pixelated goes with what the song is about. The whole heartbreak situation isn’t pretty and neither should the video.

  2. Looks like Kanye’s certainly enjoying himself.

  3. tigerbeat

    groundbreaking, as usual.

    the first thing that popped into my head was, Kanye sure looks like Bill Cosby in that sweater…I mean..seriously. Other than that the video was cool

    i like, i think it’s different
    but it definatley works

    i liked it. but let´s face it, it is w-e-i-r-d. but pretty cool.

  7. I read this wasn’t being released because another artist was using the same concept (I’d love to see that video, too), so he’s scrapping it and releasing “Amazing” instead, I think.

    But I think this is an amazing video. I’ve had to watch it a few times to really watch everything that’s going on. Kind of reminds me of the Windows Media Player/iTunes visual equalizer in video form. Would love to see it in High Def.

  8. Well, I think the video is definitely being released but that “Amazing,” and not this song, will be the next single.

    Awesome.

  10. Beautiful.

  11. The new chairlift vid directed by ray tintori looks very similar (released more than a week ago!). you can see it here: http://www.court13.com/Chairlift-EvidentUtensil.mov
    i’m not crazy about the pixelation… some transitions work better than others but overall it’s not as pretty too look at as it seems like it should be. cool concepts for both though.

    I like it. It’ s art by an artist. He’s obviously not doing the /mainstream/ thing that it works for him.

  13. I came up with an opinion- this video is amazing.
