KANYE WEST "Coldest Winter" Directed by: NABIL "ITUNES link below" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.
It's a pretty bland video with some aesthetically pleasing visuals and a vague storyline (i use that term loosely, the story isn't really there) that does tie up nicely at the end but really lacks the Kanye. I suppose it's smarter that way, though. He still probably isn't totally forgiven by the public for crushing babies kittens aka ruining T-Swift's VMA moments, but he's repented and hopefully will be the lovable douche bag we all wish would go back to making albums like Graduation soon!
Also, the song is nothing special but I have a feeling it is about his mother's death and think maybe somehow the video is dealing with it, too? Hm. Artsy kids trying to be artsy.

ooh this song makes me so sad when i listen to it on the album. it's most definitely bout his mothers death. first time seeing the video just now, i agree, i like the aesthetics but it is a bit bland, but i guess it makes sense if he's paying tribute to his mother in song that he's not in it.
i honestly haven't given 808's a solid listen, yet, so forming an opinion on the song is a little shaky for me. but i think it was wise to release a more sombre song and match it with a video like this.
