Album review: MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY (Kanye West)



The introduction to the album, Dark Fantasy, unsettles you right from the off, with an opening monologue delivered in what sounds like a bizarre, exaggerated imitation of a British accent. Then there’s some soaring, gospel-like singing, building the tension until the 1-minute-19-second mark: there he is! He immediately shows off his expansive range of high school Spanish: “How you say broke in Spanish? Me no hablo”, and the chorus of “Oh, oh, oh” is masterfully orchestrated.
