Rapper Kanye West has turned to quite unconventional methods in choosing the tracks for his new album, including asking random people for feedback on potential tracks for his album 808’s And Heartbreaks.
West recently approached Rilo Kiley actress/singer Jenny Lewis and asked for her opinion on a track.
“We missed our flight and had to wait a couple of hours in the lounge,” Lewis told Entertainment Weekly. “I noticed Kanye West was waiting for the same flight. He looked over and said, ‘Excuse me, would you mind listening to my new track?’ And so he put his headphones on my head and I listened to two of his new songs. He had no idea who I was. I guess he was doing research.”

Lewis appeared on television shows such as Roseanne, Growing Pains, and Mr. Belvedere. She is currently pursuing a career in music and is the lead singer of the band Rilo Kiley.
The expected release date for 808’s And Heartbreak is December 16.
