  • 808s & Heartbreak is the fourth studio album by American hip hop artist Kanye West, released November 24, 2008 on Roc-A-Fella Records in the United States. Recording sessions for the album took place over a period of approximately three weeks during September and October 2008 at Glenwood Studios in Burbank, California and at Avex Recording Studio in Honolulu, Hawaii. The album was primarily produced by West, No I.D. , Jeff Bhasker and Mr Hudson, and it features guest contributions from hip hop artists including Kid Cudi, Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne. The album's cover artwork was designed by artist KAWS. Classified by West as a pop album, 808s & Heartbreak incorporates elements of synthpop, electronica, R&B and electropop. It also contains a predominant use of the Roland TR-808 drum machine and the Auto-Tune voice processor, the latter of which West was coached on by R&B artist T-Pain. The sounds created by the 808 were utilized and manipulated by West to produce a distorted, electronic sound, an effect he referred to as "heartbreak". Approaching the album's production in a minimalist fashion, West intended to go against the typical sound of hip hop beat, in terms of musical direction, and instead evoke the presence of tribal drums. In contrast to his previous work, the songs on 808s & Heartbreak are primarily sung rather than rapped and focus on lyrical themes such as love, loneliness and heartache. Conceived in the wake of multiple events that impacted and distressed him the previous year, 808s & Heartbreak marked a major musical departure for Kanye West lyrically, vocally, and production-wise. Although the initial reaction to the stylistic change was mixed, with negative criticism towards West's singing, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics upon release. It was also met by considerable commercial success and served as West's third album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. 808s & Heartbreak became his fourth album to sell one million copies in the United States, and on January 27, 2009, it was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

  • 808s & Heartbreak es el cuarto álbum de estudio del artista hip hop estadounidense Kanye West. Éste fue lanzado el 24 de noviembre de 2008 en los Estados Unidos por el sello Roc-A-Fella Records. 808s & Heartbreak fue el resultado de varios acontecimientos que, en el último año, impactaron la vida de Kanye West. Tras éstos, el artista construyó a través del álbum un nuevo inicio en términos líricos, vocales y de producción en su carrera musical, distanciándose del producto de sus tres primeros álbumes de estudio. Aunque la reacción inicial por parte de los críticos frente al cambio de estilo de Kanye West fue mixta, 808s & Heartbreak tuvo, en términos generales, un buen recibimiento por parte de los críticos y fue acogido como un éxito comercial en los Estados Unidos, donde debutó en la posición número uno del Billboard 200 y registró ventas que rápidamente fueron certificadas de Platino por la RIAA. De acuerdo a la IFPI, en menos de dos meses 808s & Heartbreak se convirtió en el trigésimo primer álbum más vendido alrededor del mundo en el año 2008. De acuerdo a Nielsen SoundScan, las ventas registradas por 808s & Heartbreak sólo en los Estados Unidos, ascienden a más de 1.483.000 copias, las cuales, pese a ser elevadas, le convierten en el álbum de estudio de menor éxito comercial de Kanye West en el país.
  • 808s & Heartbreak on rap-artisti Kanye Westin neljäs studioalbumi. Se julkaistiin 24. marraskuuta 2008 Yhdysvalloissa ja Suomessa päivää myöhemmin. Albumin piti alunperin ilmestyä 16. joulukuuta 2008, mutta sen julkaisu päivää siirrettiin edemmäksi, jotta se menisi hyvin kaupaksi joulumarkkinoilla. Kanye West käyttää jokaisessa kappaleessa autotune-efektiä, eikä räppää levyllä laisinkaan. Albumi on Kanye Westin ensimmäinen levy, joka ei sisällä Parental Advisory -merkkiä. Albumia on myyty noin 593.000 kappaletta ja se nousi Billboard 200 -listan ykkössijalle.

  • 808s & Heartbreak é o quarto álbum de estúdio do rapper norte-americano Kanye West. O álbum seria lançado no dia 16 de Dezembro, mas com as palavras de Kanye West no blog dele, já deu a entender o que o astro do Hip Hop quer: Eu mudei a data do lançamento do meu álbum para perto de Novembro, porque eu estou finalizando o álbum e sinto que tem que ser assim. Eu quero também que todos escutem o quanto antes possível. O álbum foi lançado no dia 24 de Novembro. A recepção da crítica foi moderada. A revista Rolling Stone dos EUA deu três estrelas e meia para o álbum. O primeiro single do álbum foi "Love Lockdown", e o segundo, "Heartless". Assim como estas duas músicas, todo o álbum contém o efeito Auto-Tune na voz de West. Segundo ele, essa tecnologia é "a coisa mais legal de se usar", e comparou essa situação com uma de quando ele era criança e achava a cor rosa legal, até que alguém o disse que "aquilo era cooisa de gay". West classificou o álbum como pop, e disse: "As pessoas acham o pop ruim, mas o Michael Jackson era pop, e ninguém se compara a ele".
