  • "Homecoming" is a song by American hip-hop recording artist Kanye West. It was included as the twelfth song on his third studio album Graduation (2007). The track was produced by West with Warryn Campbell and features a guest appearance from Chris Martin, lead vocalist of the British alternative rock band Coldplay. Martin sings the song's chorus and outro and provides a piano-driven motif. The song is a hip hop beat with pop-oriented refrains while also integrating elements of post-punk and new wave with arena rock sensibilities. "Homecoming" is written as a tribute dedicated to West's hometown of Chicago, Illinois. His conceptual lyricism expresses an extended metaphor where he personifies Chicago as a childhood sweetheart to convey his relationship with the city. A reworking of a track entitled "Home (Windy)," the song first originated from a 2001 demo tape. While the lyrical content of the verses largely remain the same, the lyrics of the chorus for the original incarnation of "Homecoming" are different and were sung by singer John Legend. In addition, this recording had exhibited West's once trademark soulful vocal sample production style. "Homecoming" came about when West met Martin for the first time by chance at the famed Abbey Road Studios in London in February 2006. Afterwards, the two held an impromptu jam session and recorded the track, with Martin requesting that West alter the tone of his approach to the songwriting and production. Although it was intended be the lead single of Graduation, the song was released as the fifth and final single from the album on February 18, 2008. The single was met with moderate commercial success in the United States and Canada. It was more successful overseas, peaking in the top twenty on European charts and reaching the top-ten positions in Ireland and the United Kingdom. "Homecoming" has since been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Upon its release, "Homecoming" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. Though West was complimented for his introspective lyricism and storytelling abilities, Martin's contribution was met with polarizing reactions, with many criticizing his appearance due to him not being from Chicago. An accompanying music video for the single was directed by Hype Williams and filmed in Chicago. Shot entirely in black-and-white, the video features a montage of West traversing the streets of Chicago and showcases its landmarks, monuments and people. The music video was very well-received and praised for the way West's hometown is visually paid homage. It was nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. (en)

  • "Homecoming" é uma canção do artista americano de hip hop Kanye West. Foi lançado como último single do seu terceiro álbum de estúdio Graduation. Foi lançado no Reino Unido como dowload digital e deveria ter sido lançada como um single físico em 4 de fevereiro de 2008. No entanto, o CD single foi cancelado devido aos downloads começarem a diminuir antes do lançamento. Foi, então, lançado em vinil, em 18 de fevereiro. "Homecoming" alcançou a posição de número 9 na UK Singles Chart em vendas de downloads. A canção também possui vocais do vocalista Chris Martin do Coldplay. Ele e Kanye se conheçeram durante uma gravação improvisada no Abbey Road Studios em 2006. A canção serve como um tributo à cidade natal de West, Chicago usando uma metáfora que descreve a cidade como uma jovem garota chamada Wendy. O nome de Wendy se assemelha ao vento da palavra, que é uma referência a "The Windy City" de Chicago. Suas linhas de abertura liricamente dão referências a "I Used to Love H.E.R.", uma canção da mesma forma metafórica de hip hop feito por um amigo próximo a West e labelmate comum, que apareceu no vídeo da canção. A canção também é usado como a música tema em Rick Reilly Homecoming. A letra da canção foi gravada originalmente por West com John Legend canta um gancho diferente com a canção chamada "Home" (que foi apresentado no mixtape Freshmen Adjustment). No entanto, a versão de Legend foi cortada a favor de Martin, que ele e West trabalharam juntos na Abbey Road Studios em 2006. (pt)
  • «Homecoming» — пятый сингл с третьего студийного альбома Graduation американского хип-хоп артиста Канье Уэста. Трек занял 9 место по количеству скачиваний в UK Singles Chart. Песня была записана вместе с Крисом Мартином из группы Coldplay, которому принадлежит вокал в припеве. Также в песне используется имя Уэнди (англ. Wendy), что является отсылкой к прозвищу города Чикаго — «Город Ветров» (англ. The Windy City). Песня была раскритикована из-за участия в записи Криса Мартина, поскольку тот не имеет отношения к Чикаго. (ru)

dbp:description
  • A 20-second sample of West rapping nostalgic lyrics about his Chicago upbringing. West utilises an extended metaphor that personifies the city as a long lost childhood sweetheart. The composition is laced with reggae-tinged rhythmic grooves built from its heavy yet buoyant drum beat and gospel-inflected piano riff. The noise of a cheering crowd is inexplicably heard in the background. (en)
