Internet Leaks
Most of the songs on 808's & Heartbreak had been leaked onto the internet several months prior to their official release. The leaked songs include "Coldest Winter," "Robocop," "Anyway," "Streetlights" and "Heartless."Review Excerpts
- "“Heartless” is everything “Love Lockdown” isn’t. This song leaves Kanye’s autotune satisfied, controlling the hook-laden chorus — and the verses are strickly no-studio effect zones". - Pretty Much Amazing!
- "“Coldest Winter,” which is about the rapper’s late mother, Donda West. “Her love’s a thousand miles away,” ‘Ye sings." - Rap-Up
- "Mechanical beats and modular synths give "Anyway" that now familiar eighties vibe, with a throbbing intro that recalls Missing Persons' "Words." This time there's a Kid Cudi chorus helping Kanye get his love out of lockdown". - Stereogum
