New York’s Power 105 debuted another song from Kanye’s 808s And Heartbreak last night: “Coldest Winter,” which is pretty much Kanye singing his own version of Tears For Fears’ “Memories Fade.” over some big, booming drums and his heart being split right in two. (No, really, you can hear it.) Since the only version of the song making the rounds is a radio rip, the fidelity is a bit questionable (even allowing for computer-speaker limitations), but I’ve listened to it about five times this morning already, and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon.

This one provokes an even more strongly “Want to make it disco” reaction than the other two.
I also think it’s my favorite of three. I was interested, but not very excited, by this album… But now I think I’m starting to get a little excited.
@BigRicks: Thanks! The YouTube one got pulled again.
I really like this one. I’ll probably like it even better when a better-quality version shows up (as it will).
just updated the youtube link (11:18 a.m. ET)
@Maura Johnston: Again!

You might want to give up on the youtube route. Someone on Kanye’s label has been on a tear about claiming copyright infringement on like everything.
