Kanye West has headed back to the mixing desk after a leaked version of his new track 'Love Lockdown' was criticised by fans.

Fans who downloaded the track were apparently aggrieved at what they considered "below average" production.

Kanye West broke the news on his personal blog, according to Yahoo Music.

"Your prayers have been answered! There's a new version of 'Love Lockdown' coming. We used new Taiko drums and I re-sung it - it's being mastered now," he wrote.

West's new album, tentatively titled '808s And Heartbreak', is due for release this December.
