I knew the “mastered/final” version of “Love LockDown” wasn’t official. It was just something about it that sounded incomplete. The buzz for this single is undeniable. First it the anticipation of the performance at the VMA’s, then the studio version had everyone checking for it daily, now we have yet another version of it to look forward to. This quote is directly from Kanye’s Blog:

” Your prayers have been answered!! There’s a new version of love Love Lockdown coming. We used new taiko drums and I re-sung it… it’s being Mastered now….

Sidebar… if you don’t like autotune… too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!!!”

Kanye also uploaded the newer artwork (as shown above) with “perfected type 4 all design snobs lol…”. I’m thinking it’ll drop sometime this week.
