Kanye played part of this on his Ustream today. It's potentially the second single from his upcoming album. Sounds HOT, especially when the drums kick in. Of course, he turns it off at that part. LOL. I think Dwele is on this song too. Go to :50 to listen.

It would be foolish to base all of the expectations for the new era solely on "Power" alone. "Power" is pretty hot but it's not a big bang first single, he will come harder than that.

West wouldn't comment on the fate of his other G.O.O.D. tracks, but considering Fantasy also includes a song called "All the Lights" — which features John Legend, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, La Roux's Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Rihanna and Elton John — it's entirely possible there's no room for any additional guest stars on the album.

This should have been performed at the Grammys (or the Brit Awards).

I'm surprised this hasn't blown up a lot more than it has. It seems really popular.

Kanye just seems so over. I don't think he's over but I know what you mean still. He seems over as a singles artist... but it seems to be by his own choice. The songs on his latest album aren't really designed for radio-friendliness. He didn't make any paint-by-numbers hits this time, but going by how strong his album sales are, he can get back on radio with ease if he went back to that route with his next album. |

Kanye just seems so over. In the pop/urban world maybe. But this album has gotten accolades like no other in the indie world. I much prefer new Kanye, MBDTF is by far his best work. |

I think this and "Runaway Love" were as radio friendly as some of his other singles, i'm just not sure why they didn't receive the same airplay. Kanye has never been a huge singles artist anyway, but the singles from this album do seem to have underperformed.

Kanye usually comes out with a very radio-friendly first or second single but he didn't this time. They should have released this and "Runaway" around the same time frame.

He's nowhere near over, and I don't think he was focused on creating radio-friendly songs for the album. He's hardly even promoting it. He literally had two performances and that's it. The singles from this album have definitely underperformed, but I don't think he or Def Jam cares considering that it's sold just as much as his last. And that had two big hits attached to it.

I think "Runaway" did not sound radio friendly at all and I knew it would never get much airplay.
However "AOTL" sounds fine for radio and I figured it would be the song from this era that radio would pick up as their token.
I really do hope he makes more straight-forward commercial stuff in the future though. He needs to find the balance- which is why his first album was so great!

I didnt say I think he IS over but he seems over. LIke he just isnt around, isnt doin much promo or even trying to be in the spotlight like he used to. Seems like he is just dropping alums and singles for fun at this point.

Yeah, I can see that.
Damn I just want a NORMAL new Kanye album. Feels like we haven't had one since 2007.

I can guarantee now, that Kanye's next album will have another crossover smash. Regardless of what he can say, I'm sure he's dying to have a radio hit. He's definitely not over (in terms of radio hits).
