Kanye West hosted a listening party for his new album, 808's & Heartbreak in Los Angeles on October 14, 2008. Italian artist Vanessa Beecroft created a living art installation for the event that consisted of 40 nude female models.
According to The Fader, "yes, it's almost entirely sung by West, aside from one verse by Young Jeezy on "Amazing" and a duet with Lil Wayne; yes, it is sung almost entirely through Auto-Tune." At the end of the evening, West announced he will have another album coming in June.The Fader: Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak Listening Event (October 15, 2008)l>
