Kanye's singing on this track short of reminds me of Justin Vernon.  Anyone else see this?  Was Kanye influenced after working with him?

 

[dabigs11]

I could kind of see this.
But those Vernon vocals >>>>>>>

 

[0000000]

I remember in an interview i forget when, but Kanye was talking about how he hates how all vocals are so clean and how he hates that.  I think it was when he was talking about the end of the power he like grunts.

It sounded shitty on Lift Off. What he did on Runaway was amazing.

 

[Variable Change]

[crymz]

[blev42]

i like the idea of lyrics that are hard to hear. but i dont think he did it well here.

[GRAD-BEAR]

i think he sent the unfinished version to the label by accident

I was like, this song is kinda good but when Ye started singing I was like It would've worked better as a song on Beyonce's album by herself imo

Please, don't compare Kanye's singing on Lift Off to any of Thom Yorke's songs. Even when Thom's words are unintelligible, his voice sounds great. The same can't be said for Kanye.

kanye himself referenced thom yorke as someone who he tries to emulate..i didnt pick him out of the air.

 

[Soso]

Reminds me of his vocoder part in Runaway

I know that Thom is one of Kanye's inspirations, but his singing doesn't come close to Thom's.

this tbh... the vocals dont have to be clean but audible words would be nice
