Kanye West has confirmed that his third single from his upcoming LP 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' will be titled 'All of the Lights'. It will feature Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Fergie, La Roux, Elton John, John Legend, The-Dream, Charlie Wilson, Kid Cudi, Tony Williams and Ryan Leslie.

This will definitely be interesting...I don't think I've seen so many guest artists on one song.

Sounds like it'll certainly be a cacophony if nothing else.

I really hope it's good, the first two singles off his new album have been great.

I just mean by looking at the number of collaborators featured on this, it sounds to me like a train wreck already. I don't remember the last time I heard a song with so many collaborators that was any good.

Kanye West made 'Monster' work with him, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj, and the other guy featuring.
Infact, it was one of Nicki's best rap EVER

Well, if you're ever worried about your music career do silly things on stage, release a controversial album cover and feature a few big names. Win win...

If this is true, it's very interesting.

Also, I thought La Roux hated urban music! But good for her that she's made it big enough to be listed amongst all those famous musicians!

This makes Gettin' Over You look like quite a small gathering of people. XD

I hope it's new material from each artist and not just sampling

It depends though. The song might be better with sampling, and some of those artists have made classic songs, so I wouldn't mind hearing them used as a beat, or whatever, again.

I mis-read that as 90's pop types and now presenters of popular science shows D-ream.

Everything after I realised it was in fact not them was a let down. I love the idea of Kanye hanging out with that lad off Bang goes the theory.

You sure its not a charity single
Imagine if in the good old days before someone changed "and" to "ft" (Elton John AND Kiki Dee rather than Elton John FT Kiki Dee as it would be now) They did it for Band Aid...........
Bob Geldof Ft Boy George, George Micheal, Simon le Bon.............Doesnt roll of the tounge

Yeah, and is usually a duet in which both artists have equal parts in the song.

Ft, is usually an artist and then another artist adding a bit to the song, e.g singing hooks on rap songs.

Yeah right! So "And" is 2 people on a track and "ft" is 2 people on a track Completely different. I'm sure someone counts how many words they sing/rap to decide if its an and or a ft
