Ultimamente nonostante una fase iniziale un po' fredda mi sono avvicinato ad uno degli ultimi singoli del rapper americano. "Love lockdown" (ascolta) è davvero un singolo fuori dal comune anche se in piena linea con lo spirito intraprendente di Kanye e la sua voglia di creare sempre qualcosa di nuovo. Dopo un altro singolo molto apprezzato come "Stronger" (in cui veniva campionata "Harder, better, faster, stronger" del duo parigino Daft Punk) e "Flashing lights" anche "Love lockdown" fa largo uso di elementi derivati dal mondo dell'elettronica in questo caso si parla di auto tune, strumento in grado di modificare la voce come si può notare nel brano e in tutte le canzoni dell'album.La struttura della canzone è piuttosto semplice, percussioni, piano e pochi altri strumenti minori che fanno da sottofondo all'elemento fondamentale della canzone ovvero la voce opportunamente modificata ad arte.
Un prodotto interessante, un ottimo esercizio di stile che sicuramente non è immediato da capire ed apprezzare ma che merita qualche attenzione se si è interessati ad ascoltare qualcosa di diverso dal solito, sicuramente una delle tracce interessante dell'album "808s & Heartbreak".

Testo | Lyrics
I'm not lovin you, way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
So ya never know, never, never know
Never know enough, til it's over love
Til we lose control, system overload
Screamin no, no, no, no, no
I'm not lovin you, way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but can't escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don't have to know
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now You keep ya love locked down, you lose
I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got somethin' to lose, so I gotta move
I can't keep myself, and still keep you too
So I keep in mind, when I'm on my own
Somewhere far from home, In the danger zone
How many times did I take fo' it finally got through
you lose, you lose
I'm not lovin you, way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to move
No more wastin' time, you can't wait for life
We're just racin' time, where's the finish line
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now You keep ya love locked down, you lose
I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to
I met no one new, I got no one new
I know I said I'm through, but got love for you
But I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it goin, keep the lovin gone
Keep it on a roll, only god knows
If I be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose
I'm not lovin you, way I wanted to
When I wanna go, I dont need you
I been down this road, too many times before
I'm not lovin you, way I wanted to
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, you lose, you lose, you lose
