ALBUM INFO
Breaking away from his more soulful and lyrical beginnings, Graduation seems to take on a more electronic nature and focus on creating a grander presence. West’s inspiration to this larger sound came from the likes of U2 who’s music filled stadiums and arenas with a harmonious force. This inspiration can clearly be seen as the album is filled with anthemic rap songs such as his hit “Stronger” and “Flashing Lights”.
