'heartless' is the second delectable taste of kanye wests' highly scruitinized new album '808's and heartbreak'. on 'heartless', kayne continues his use of auto-tune technology used on 'love lockdown', to produce singing vocals, rather than rap, and marks more forays by kanye into pop music. the single has a sad theme and a well tuned downbeat melody to match, as kayne tells 'the coldest story ever told' about his broken heart from 'a woman so heartless' and his resultant solitude despite the abundance of friends, singing 'but the end it's still so lonely', all of which leave a chillingly unhopeful feeling towards romance and the after-effects of a break-up, as highlighted by his prediction 'and we just gon' be enemies'.
