A great, great song with a Northern Soul vibe. Prince rocks it well and slips a few quid Alice's way. Job's a goodun'.

Strongly disagree. Alice's original remains the definitive. IMO - 3EG's doesn't have much character.

Yes. Similarly not to credit Donna properly for PLECTRUMELECTRUM the track - its her's from 2011 - she called it Elektra.

He didn't give credit to the writers of Miriam Makeba's "Quit it", from which he "borrowed" heavily for "Colonized Mind". Just like with "My Medallion", which was heavily "inspired" by "Spill the Wine" from Eric Burdon & War. And so on, and so on.

yes it is.

Its written plain as day in the notes. I know...my brother felt compelled to read me every word and attempt to describe every image in a very annoying phone call where all I wanted to know was how he felt about the tunes.
What leads u to believe its not there antonb?

I actually think I like Elektra better, but they're both nice. I like hearing Prince jam to it! He should give credit where credit's due though.

.

As for Another Love, I'm just trying to like the song. I love the guitar & the music. I just don't like the chorus, it really bothers me, as with most of the chorus on this album.

I haven't got the physical album but I read credits online which credited PE to Donna.

I strongly disagree with you, I'm not a fan of the original. 3rdEyegirl much version better imho. Original sounds bland to me and I don't like her voice.

This song is my favorite from both albums. Killed it! A little like Joy In Repetition from One Nite Alone. Amazing song.

I'm sure I'll be listening to Alice Smith a bit as well. New music!

I disagree. Alice Smith's version is not bland. It's piano and strings heavy and its beautiful, whereas Prince's version has the guitar and gives it a different sound. I like em both.
