New Kanye West Video – “Welcome To Heartbreak”

The other day Ray Tintori introduced the world to an advance in the realm of visual mind-fuckery with his missing keyframe-simulating, pixel-morphing video for Chairlift's "Evident Utensil." Now just imagine how enraged blogger Kanye was when everybody sent him that link, knowing he was sitting on this Nabil-directed clip. More like "Welcome To Getting Pwned By Chairliftbreak," right? (No.) Although, as commenter Jonze had wished, it appears Nabil was more interested than Tintori in exploring some of this new technology's choreographic and conceptual possibility.

Pretty rad. But not FIRST!!1! And that's what the internet cares about. Well Kanye addresses that on kanYe West: Blog:

This is not the next single, "Amazing" is the next single.

This is the video we've been working on for the last month.

We know there is another video out there using the same technique so we were forced to drop it now.

It's OK, Kanye. Yours is the the most gayest.

UPDATE: Now what if I tell you that isn't even the original video, and the original video is even more mind-blowing (sorry Nabil). Whoops I just told you all that. Believe it:
