It's Saturday morning in my neck of the woods and I've got a playlist of all my 2000 era P cuts plus some select older gems on shuffle.

Love Like Jazz comes on and I didn't register the intro at first but it made me pause...it was just so ...'pleasantly sexy'. The verses had me thinkin of this one partner who was uniquely fun to 'improvise with' on a morning after kinda vibe. You know, when you've had the madsexy theatrics, roundtrip flights with multiple arrivals, been to sleep and now it's morning. Just the right kinda bright outside so that the curtains keep things nice... your already intertwined as you awaken and you stumble upon a new angle ...and another...and yeah..

Now I'm gonna go see how to interpret it on a stroll thru the park

"Hey baby what's your name? Do you want to play a game?"

And to think people say Prince can't write a lyric anymore.

..I LOVE THAT SONG..my favorite part is when prince says "eye wanna feel like eye've been hypnotized..if u think u can then let's go 4 a ride"..
..mzsexybaby'u served the cream..i drank ur coffee'

no need to put a target on you, Love Like Jazz is awesome

lol... the lyric rides the VIBE so well to me, I don't understand the criticism I've read so far. I could quote every part and go "see that right there?!?"

...i don't wanna know ahead of time
the note you play should be in reaction 2 mine
nothin planned or contrived...

co-sign!!!

thats one of my fav songs on the cd i dig it more and more everytime he not the only one who want a lover just like jazz

Who doesn't love this song.

is love like the jazz the one that starts out sounding like the theme song from "growing pains"? i know there's a song on the lotusflower disc that sounds like that theme song, i just can't remember which one.

Join the crowd! Love Like Jazz is too damn funky! I love it!

I like this song too, you can put the target away, it's not needed. I love how this song starts out. For some reason, it reminds me of a 60's song. It's got that same poppy, light-hearted feeling. Love it!

I would love to hear Prince perform this song live.

i dig it too, but i'm not sure it fits on this album. either of them, actually. even FB,FG,FW and $ sound less out of place on LF than Love Like Jazz.

How bout' let's play Hide-n-Seek in the basement while we listen to some old, "KISS," records.

I love this song 2

Indeed, it is a fantastic song!

I love this jam. its got a 60's vibe going on with it. Lotusflow3r in general feels very 1960's to me. I'm proud of Prince!

Okay, I gotta find the theme song to "Growing Pains" on Myspace, and make my own comparison.

"As long as we got each other...owah!"

I like the lyrical story that "Love Like Jazz" tells, but the music (in paticular the "Growing Pains"-esque riff) irks me for some reason...

I agree with everything u said here. I am so damn proud of this man until I continuously keep a smile on my face when listening 2 his new music

Its an awesome breezy riding in your car song. You can tell he is loving the west coast.

I do hear some similarities in the "Growing Pains" theme song and "Love Like Jazz". Makes you wonder if Prince wasn't watching reruns of this show and that's how the song came to be.

It's a great song. I think what I like about it is that it has a very clean sound w/ lots of intricate little sounds thrown in. The guitar is great in it, not rock but still some good licks & smooth too. The vocals do get a little old for me especially @ the end but that doesn't bother me as much.

It's a nice jam
