The 'grown n sexy' ELoveable is akin to Darling Nikki lyrics changed to:

I knew a girl named Nikki

I guess you could say she was n danger of std's

It's not the same at all, because the original Extraloveable was never released.

Ooooooo, good one. Make that 11-0. I'd rather have my own mind and know what TRUE funk is than run around here and spit out that it's just amazing he's "doing ALL of this" at the age of 50-something, as if that's the prerequisite to getting the keys to the kingdom. Or better yet, he's ultra genius level because of this song and because it's just SOOOO hard to redo a song nowadays and make it sound a sooo different (and shitty, might I add).

Continue to rack up all the points you desire. This isn't a ridiculously scored game to me, nor was it ever. It's just a simple matter of you "fams" kissin' his ass and loving damn NEAR everything the man does (and tries to see the positive in ANY of Prince's situations where there is NO positive to begin with), like a CD of him taking a shit, or "Extralovable 2011" as it's known by you fams as.

I'm just glad I have the one TRUE version of this track. The original.

So now we don't have minds of our own because we like the new version. GOTCHA!

Just so you know, I don't like everything he does. I didn't like Cause & Effect, Hot Summer, MPLSound, and I found Rich Friends quite mediocre. You don't even acknowledge other people's posts in context but instead jump to your ridiculous conclusions that we kiss Prince's ass because we like a song that you don't like.

I have always liked the original version but prefer the new one - it has a nice flow to it

I'll take any new music to add to the vast colleciton & wish he would rerecord more of the vault and release it - he knows we all have that old stuff anyway so it is refreshing to put a new spin on them like he also did with 'in a large room with no light'

Better be careful with opinions like that, somebody might say you aren't a true fan, or you're drinking the purple kool aid.

Ok I gave it a second listen and its not that bad. I think because I was so in love with the original the remake shocked me a little. I think the problem with this song is the over autotuned part on the chorus which i was not prepared for. I've always loved the way Prince harmonizes his own voice on choruses so this is something new. if that part was cleaner it was a good song. I could see this rocking out live. Nothing will take away the stripped down rawness of the original but this one is much better than the horrificness of the 1999 remake i also think that group that remixed that other version was better.

There is no auto-tune on that song! What you hear is a dense vocal recording, especially because some voc tracks were doubled (which makes it sound even more dense and strong, because of the tiny imperfections in timing and frequency). It's what you hear during the verses too, only with 4 different tracks all at once.

oh i see, well whatever he did on the chorus i'm not too into, but i like it overall. can't wait to hear it live!

It's not so much that I disagree with you that I agree with his point. Like i've said before, either you like a song or you don't. it doesn't make anything wrong with a person if they don't like something. A few people here take things way too far.

it's funny though, some people do the same with the associated artists music, like with Gaslight. They diss Prince's music but as soon as anyone says anything bad about FDeluxe or O7 or any associated artist music, its like omg, how could you! you haven't listened to it right or enough times!

Oh no doubt..the same folks who are always complaining about Prince are quick to suck the cock and eat the pussy of all the other associated artists....without checking for std status or anything ..they are the Prince hypocrites

Right, right

Opinions about the song aside, does anyone know whether this is from a forthcoming Prince album, or is it a one-off release like "Hot Summer", "Cause and Effect", etc.?

The new Extraloveable ends abrupt like it's supposed to segue into another song.

Also, just to stir the pot some, remember on the supposed "Crystal Ball II" cd, the song Extraloveable was spelled Xtraloveable?

Nobody knows yet. Drfunkenberry said this though;

''This is part of it yes. People have been wanting new music from Prince and also vault material....''

Hopefully this counts as the former, not the latter, as this along with the recent(ish) version of IALRWNL, We Can Funk and the live All Day, All Night could possibly form a disturbing trend (even though I like Large Room 2009).

I have listen 2 the song now and I like it, yes I heard the original and its also good, but I rather hear a new released version of the song than an old boot that everyone owns and we already heard millions of times. "Prince is not as good as he used 2 be" I read all the time, hehe neater are u in bed (joke) but the thing is u dont apreciate what he does, u want 2 control him, hes fan base are his new "warner bros"

3 versions announced, not sure if he means the 1982 version, this version and the live one or 3 new studio versions.

Maybe an extended version, it does sound if it could go on longer.

I like the new despite the rap but would love another version with some more guitar.

Exactly, get a grip folks. Good lawd Qwit the beetchin' for cripes sake.

Please keep this thread on topic. It was going so well

Keep it up folks. Keep it up.

He was going to release some hot new music, but keep it up and all you're getting is "Hot Summer" and "Purple & Gold" remixes.

I'm betting on three different versions of the 2011 version.

I wonder if the reason he only released it on iTunes Canada is to lower expectations in terms of sales. Otherwise, the promotion doesn't make much sense. The money all goes to Apple regardless of where it's sold, right? If he wanted us to buy it from a Canadian company to promote an alternative to iTunes, that might make more sense.

Or maybe he was concerned about the dozen cities in the U.S. that wouldn't allow it.

I believe in constructive criticism, but some of you supposedly Prince fans are just plain rude and mean spirited. Do I like every song he has ever made? Nope, but I don't beat him down 4 it. Is all the nastiness really necessary? Geesh!!!! Extraloveable 2011 is fresh! I'd take anything from Prince over listening to the stuff thats currently being played radio stations.

And Prince keep doing what you love to do and however you want to do it, you have earned that right!

Slightly off topic, but is there any reason this song's release didn't make the front page news on this site? I didn't know about it until two days after this was posted because I seldom check the Prince section, assuming anything significant will pop up on the main page.

Also, bought the song, listened to it, not bad. I'll probably get tired of it pretty quickly though. The groove at the end starts to get a little tedious. Still, I am always okay with more music.

It sounds like Dr. Conrad Murray gave the original a shot of propofal.

This comment is hilarious! Rest your nuts, it was NOT that bad. It actually flows after a couple of listens!

I think it's funky. It gives me hope Prince is thinking about his legacy whilst trying to encourage new fans. I played this song to a whole heap of non-Prince fans who really like this.

did u play the original to them as well?

define hate

Hate is telling orgers they're 'dumb fans' and 'drinking purple kool-aid' in every other thread. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and shouldn't be belittled or chastised for it.

and the same goes 4 the ones that love everything he does but then belitted others that dont' like everything and can speak upon it without being called a hater right?

It's up on Canadian iTunes first to promote the gigs, nothing more to it than that.

People DON'T "have" the version they like better in the crystal clear quality that this remake was released in. So no, it's not like all things are even here.
