MUSIC | Kanye West x Bon Iver
Looks like Kanye West read my mind. In my very first blog post last January, I explained that Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver's Woods was the best use of auto-tune I've heard in a long time. I was infatuated with the song.
Naturally, word eventually made it to Kanye and he decided to make it his own. The product isn't bad either. It starts off true to the original, though he derails the emotional connection at the end with a preachy monologue that starts strong but rambles unnecessarily. You be the judge!
