'Baltimore' now out on iTunes .
* MODERATOR'S NOTE * . This song has many different directions & subjects that can be discussed minimally. Guns, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown etc. Please try to keep these to minimun and as focused on Prince and the song as possible. Discuss the song, the creation, the writing, the music. . If you want to discuss guns, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown etc. to a further degree, please do take it to the Politics & Religion forum. Be civilized Don't create offensive, vulgar, obscene, threatening, abusive or excessively profane posts.A good general rule: "criticize ideas,not people." ----- They've released Baltimore on iTunes. It's a different version from the one we had heard, I think (can't really tell, I've listened to it only in my ipad, and I hadn't listened to the other one many times to be fair). . | |

Rimshottbob said: Just for the record, doesn't look like it's on the UK iTunes at this point. It is: https://itunes.apple.com/...=998315949 As Papaj said, it now includes horns and strings. I'll listen to it properly at some point, but I think I would prefer to have the live recording the journalist talked about some weeks back. Also, I find the timing for the release a bit bizarre. It may make sense in a prince world, in the real world it would have made more sense to release it at the time of the rally for peace. Anyway, enjoy it if you like it, pass if you don't  | |

Cool rework of this jam and nice use of strings The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

I actually like it. The "absence of war" part gets stuck in my head for a long while after I hear it. I'll wait on the iTunes, though, as maybe 3rdeyetunes will have a wav?

It's not available on Amazon yet but they now have t-shirts with the Prince Baltimore design 4 sale. Amazon music usually gets the singles a day or 2 later than itunes. | |

I really like this version.

Did he write better lyrics to go with the new orchestration? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

good luck trying to find any information on this..............so far, the only thing I could find was that Beyonce and Jay Z bailed out some of the Ferguson/Baltimore looters........and Jay Z gave a thousand dollars to Open Society Institute in Baltimore which created the Baltimore Justice Fund (the charity started after the Freddie Gray case and the one that you could donate during the Prince livestream on Tidal)...........can't find much about Prince still | |

Had an issue downloading, but was worth it. Good on you Prince "So fierce U look 2night, the brightest star pales 2 Ur sex..." | |

I like it. The interplay between the strings and guitar remind me of what he did on Kate Bush's "Why Should I Love You." | |

I love the song in general. But, I like the soundcloud version a bit better. The strings in the itunes version at the end don't move me like his guitar does on the soundcloud version. | |

I can't figure out which I like better. I like the former for the reasons you mentioned, but I think the interplay with the strings, guitar, and horns, in the middle section of the new one, is unbelievable, and is a great build up to the eventual breakdown. The no justice no peace chant on the new one seems a bit tacked on, though. I guess I'll have to keep both. "That's when stars collide.
