Why I Love You...

Sampling a sample which in itself is a sample, Jay Z's and Kanye West's trackl Why I Love You, featuring the scintilating vocals of Mr Hudson is a ground-breaking tune. With the smash-hit Otis, released last year, which has almost become a cult-classic, it would seem hard to top that but Why I Love You, arguably  manages just that.

It has an immensely powerful chorus, with Hudson singing the first line, with it then repeated in autotune, high-pitch giving it a stronger, compelling sound, it is undoubtedly very catchy. West raps no more than a few words, on this track, with his production the verses are left to Jay who pours limitless emotion into them. Describing the betrayals he has been subjected to, but then his strength in overcoming them, "So the love is gone, Til blood is drawn, So we no longer wear the same uniform." The production is stirring and powerful, acting as the perfect accompaniment for the full-blooded passion of the track.

The track is certainly lacking in Kanye as this sort of track would suit him probably more than Jay, still an almighty-anthem, be sure to check it out...
