The unstoppable Kanye West is poised to release a brand new single entitled ‘Stronger’, out August 13th. Taken from his highly anticipated new album, ‘Graduation’ out September 10th.‘Stronger’ features a sample from Daft Punk’s classic, ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’, and is the first track to showcase the futuristic theme that will be present throughout ‘Graduation’. Rumour has it that Kanye enlisted the help of no less than Eight world class studio engineers to work on the track simultaneously in order to fine tune the epic sound .The video for ‘Stronger’ was directed by Hype Williams. It took the pair three months to complete the video, from start to finish. The making of the video was part intricate planning, part run-and-gun, guerrilla style shooting. Challenges included rounding up a genuine Japanese motorcycle gang, filming the video around a half written song (Kanye hadn’t written the second verse when filming began), and seeking out the right shades to wear. Kanye wanted to wear something that you couldn’t get in stores. The now famous white shutter sunglasses were found in Paris. Prince William and Harry were recently photographed trying them on after the Concert For Diana.
Kanye performed a storming, headline grabbing set at the event, which took place at Wembley Stadium earlier this month.
Kanye West’s last two albums, ‘College Dropout’ and ‘Late Registration’ have sold over 8 Million albums worldwide to date. ‘Graduation’ is set to launch Kanye West further into the stratosphere of greatness he currently resides. This musical mastermind, visionary and global phenomenon has raised the game once again!
