Keane working with Kanye
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 July 2009
Kanye West is making a bit of a name for himself taking artists and making them cooler and putting them in front of a wider audience (see Mr Hudson), but surely he’s going to have his work cut out making Keane look interesting. Actually, ‘Spiralling’ is a great song, I always forget that. And apparently that’s what brought them to West’s attention, they say he became “obsessed” with the song when it came out last year.
Keane frontman Tom Chaplin told The Daily Star: “We worked very briefly with Kanye and we’re looking to carry on that process really soon. Kanye’s a far-out character – very confident – but he also has an undercurrent of being a very sensitive soul. You can tell that from his latest release”.
He also told the NME: “We’re hoping to get some more stuff done with Kanye in the next few weeks. We’ve discovered from our last album that you can really push it and be experimental”.
Yeah, he’s right, that album was so out there and experimental, like the massively experimental second half of Moby’s ‘Play’ album.
