Kanye West: 10 Best Songs You Haven't Heard

1. Say You Will

The opener for 808s & Heartbreak initially got criticised for its heavy use of autotune. However, much like the album itself, the song has proven influential to R&B artists like The Weeknd and Frank Ocean. This 6-minute track is an excellent representation of that ground-breaking influence the album has. The song also gave long term Kanye fans reason to relax over the worry that he was pandering to the mainstream with his use of autotune.

The track has been remastered a couple of times by Kanye. One featured the incredible vocal performance of Caroline Shaw, which was uploaded to SoundCloud 4 years ago. Caroline Shaw is one of the greatest vocal manipulators in today's music landscape, and she elevates an already great song to even dizzier heights. More recently, his Sunday Service choir have reworked the song, making the electric choir in the original feel more lifelike than ever.
