When Kanye’s critically acclaimed album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy dropped last month one of the most talked about tracks on the album was the guest filled “All of the Lights.” “Guest-filled” may actually be something of an understatement when talking about the track as it boasts no less than 11 featured musicians: Rihanna, Alicia Keys, John Legend, The-Dream, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Ryan Leslie, Charlie Wilson, Tony Williams, La Roux, & Elton John.
The track, a frantic story-song about an abusive, hedonist, has been steadily gaining airplay. In February it will be released as the fourth single from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and now it’s come out that the cut is set to receive the video treatment as well.
Gossip site www.Hollywood.tv has obtained some behind the scenes footage on the set of the new clip, including shots of West performing the song in a dark alley. There’s not much to go on right now but we can only hope that “All of the Lights” will go the “Monster” route and include cameos from all its guests.
all of the lights really only has 5 features, I dont know where the dream, john legend, ryan leslie, la roux, tony williams, or charlie wilson come in on the track?
They just phoned in and said we need exposure so Yeezy put them on a track all together
lmao @ anon- thats exactly what i was thinking. This is the only track on the album that needed to be at least 7 minutes long the other two did not
at the end, they sing in unison, i think La Roux is the one singing, “Fast Cars, Shooting stars”/”Until it’s vegas everywhere we are”.
doesn’t john legend sing towards the end of the song? ..and i think thats the dream humming in the beginning of the song..as per the rest i think their voices are sped up on the beat or something..regardles i dont know how any of those would be considered features.
The-Dream is audible near the end part with Alicia and Elton. You can hear him sing “You know what I mean, want you to see everything.”
I love this track.
lol you mad dude?
he rite
i love this song, i was hoping he was going to make a video for it, i hope it starts with the minute interlude and has all of the cameos.
You must be listening to te wrong version. They are all on the track. Some parts have to people singing with one panned extreme left and one panned extreme left. Maybe you have mono speakers that can’t even capture the magic of this track. Or maybe you just have no ear for music and can’t tell the difference between two black female voices or two male voices
