Finally the video is here!
I've been waiting for this video for a while. Announced before the 'Monster' video made its brief appearance online, 'All of the Lights' is now ours. I always have been a fan of Kanye, regardless of how some of his off stage antics my have made you feel, no one can take away from the fact that he is a truly talented individual. Lets face it, we're all human, none of us are flawless, in his case, constantly being in the public eye has made his flaws and poor decision making more visible than most. Nonetheless, he [as an artist] has been amazing since the time he was a little-known Chi-town producer, way before his rocafella chain, before the Louis Vuitton bags and before the VMA incident.
As a fan, I was promoting how great Kanye was going to be back when he was known by most as "Kane" the producer. Thus explaining my enthusiasm for this particular release. This song has everything to be an instant [classic]hit, an intro filled with classical instruments and contemporary sounds. An energetic beat spiced with old school drum-set Kanye magic. A dizzying list of featurings which include stars such as Rihanna, Kid Cudi, Alicia Keys, Fergie and even Elton John [to mention a few]. Finally a video directed by the infamous Hype Williams, who through out the years has so eloquently made the words of our favorite songs come to life! Flashing lights was my favorite track off of Graduation in 2007 and now 'All of the Lights' takes the trophy for his latest master piece, it is as if the prophecy was coming true, the star seems to truly shine under the [spot]light!
