Kanye West Gets Unexpected Album Input From Rilo Kiley
September 22nd, 2008 Author: Danielle Harling
Rapper Kanye West has turned to quite unconventional methods in choosing the tracks for his new album, including asking random people for feedback on potential tracks for his album 808's And Heartbreaks.
West recently approached Rilo Kiley actress/singer Jenny Lewis and asked for her opinion on a track.
"We missed our flight and had to wait a couple of hours in the lounge," Lewis told Entertainment Weekly. "I noticed Kanye West was waiting for the same flight. He looked over and said, 'Excuse me, would you mind listening to my new track?' And so he put his headphones on my head and I listened to two of his new songs. He had no idea who I was. I guess he was doing research."
Lewis appeared on television shows such as Roseanne, Growing Pains, and Mr. Belvedere. She is currently pursuing a career in music and is the lead singer of the band Rilo Kiley.
The expected release date for 808's And Heartbreak is December 16.

ObAma CAmpaiGn ENDorSES ComPilAtion CD
Obama Campaign Officially Endorses Compilation
It's no secret that many musicians have backed Senator Barack Obama in the race for The White House. Although many have already released songs in support of the Senator, plans are also set to release an entire album to show solidarity on the side of Obama.
Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement is the presumed title of the project, said to include artists including Kanye West, John Legend, Jill Scott, Will.i.am and others. It will be available for digital download at $24.99 and $30 for the actual CD through Hidden Beach Recordings. Proceeds will benefit the Obama campaign.
"We had conversations quite some time ago about how to harness what was happening really organically and naturally with so many artists," Steve McKeever, CEO of Hidden Beach Recordings told the Associated Press. "The whole concept (was) how do we translate that to inspire and invigorate and also give people a keepsake that they can own while at the same time providing some important capital needed for this campaign."
The Obama Campaign purchased the rights to the CD and they have it for sale on their site, http://www.barackobama.com/, along with a small statement.
"Through their musical contributions, the artists seek to mobilize voters in the final stretch before the November election. Many of the artists involved will also be volunteering their time to promote voter registration."
The site also allows for a free listening preview of the album. The tracklisting is below.
1. Eternity - Lionel Richie
2. Signed Sealed Delivered - Stevie Wonder
3. Waiting On The World To Change - John Mayer
4. American Prayer - Dave Stewart
5. Battle Cry - Shontelle
6. Make It Better - Los Lonely Boys
7. Pride In The Name Of Love - John Legend
8. I Have A Dream - BeBe Winans
9. Am I All Alone - Suai
10. One Is The Magic # - Jill Scott
11. Love & Hope - Ozomatli
12. Looking East - Jackson Browne
