can't find it anywhere (yet). I guess it will show up on my Spotify at midnight for new release friday?

just set my vpn to australia where it's already the 24th and it shows up on youtube
just by searching "prince silver tongue".

new version indeed. with bass and drums added. and a new vocal.

sounds pretty great on first listen. much more interesting than the bare bones demo.

hmm, I'm going to add this straight to my playlists, love this little 'new' gem.

never cared to much for the demo since it's just too bare bones for my taste,
despite the ONA piano album being a favorite of mine.

The Nikka Costa song?

Were the rereleased versions of Magnificent and United States of Division different as well?

Youtube has it on the Prince channel but with a message “This video is not available”. I guess that means not yet, give it a few hours…looking forward to it.

I thought it was just me, good to know.

Wow, this is great! The demo didn't do nothing for me - but this is really something else!

wow, this is a little surprise

A brand new version, obviously, not a "slightly different mix". This can't be a mistake, this time, right?

I've listened to it more times than the 'original' since yesterday already

Lovely new version of the song.

That's a beautiful finished version with a lovely jazzy flavour.

The question is: who plays drums and bass? and WHEN?

Is it John Blackwell and Rhonda Smith?

indeed people want to know, but once again no official info.

it would be nice if they could communicate a bit more about these 'b-side reissues'.

a part of me STILL thinks there might be a Musicology SDE coming

I hate myself for being suckerd into it again but what are we supposed to think
when they don't tell us anything?

According to Prince Vault it's a new mix by Chris James. I don't know what their source is.

perhaps the estate has communicated something on X or somewhere else?

this is a gripe I have not just with the estate but with streaming in general.

where are the credits? what an amazing time to be a sessions musician, no
one ever gets acknowledged anymore by way of the big audience.

Nice, but the vocal hasn't got the same power as the original/demo.

Wonderful

"Somewhere Here On Earth" could've been the A-side to this B-side.
