What: Winter tour featuring an original set plus a full-album performance of Kanye West's "808s and Heartbreak" That's a part of me, so I should be trusted for that dynamic taste." Remember Jones "Yes, I love the Joe Cocker stuff, but then I'm going to '808s and Heartbreak.' That's just been my life, always.I'm such a huge '90s-era hip-hop and R&B kid. I could sing you (TLC's) 'Crazysexycool' from start to finish, you know what I mean? But then I'm putting on (Meat Loaf's) 'Bat Out of Hell' or I'm putting on something else. It's to be a little bit more relevant and to tap a different demographic that I know is a part of me. And maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm doing this record, too. and he doesn't care what people are saying, as long as they're talking about him. "It's not about him, this is about this particular work of art," said Jones. "The man's got to stay relevant. "And I feel that all over it, and that is the thing that I think, for me, drives it as an actor. It allows me to escape my normal stuff and say, 'I'm going to put myself in this head, in this place.'" "It was like his first 'I don't give a (expletive deleted)' album, you know what I mean?" Jones said. West's original is a landmark work of pain and grief, released a year after the death of the rapper and producer's mother, Donda.īut unlike other watershed moments of grief - be it Bob Dylan's cutting "Blood on the Tracks" (1975), John Lennon's open wound of "Plastic Ono Band" (1970) or Beck's hushed and lush "Sea Change" (2002) - "808s and Heartbreak" is largely ice cold, one man's clinical examination of his own shattered self seen through a singular, idiosyncratic world view. Jones' exploration of "808s and Heartbreak," which he debuted in 2018, is an insightful reinterpretation of a modern masterpiece. "And I'm not really doing this because of him, I'm doing this album because of me. I'm doing because of my connection with it and my feeling with it and hope everybody takes my interpretation of that and runs with that."
