The strongest song on the album. Sounds like it could be on the Rainbow Children. Great sound. Great lyrics. The song builds and gets better with each layer.


Agree with all of this! headbang

The official release of that should be on Phase III. I loved the redid version almost as much as the original.

Change it one more time..

Yes. I am not the only one to recognise the "Last December" music in Black Muse.

Co-sign and the part I love most of both songs. thumbs up!

It definitely has a similar vibe, and would fit perfectly on TRC

You are correct sir. I've just read on Prince vault the last 3 mins of Black Muse is a song called 1000 Light Years Away, which featured Andy. I've also just listened again and you can clearly hear her near the end, as you say.

Yes! They really do. You can tell they were good for each other's creativity. There voices are great together and he still seems sprung haha

This song is fantastic. It couldn't possibly sound more like classic Stevie. You could drop this shit right onto Talking Book or SITKOL.

(Of course, Prince will get kudos for openly embracing his musical idols but D'Angelo gets dogged for doing so.)

Anyway, this is one of my favorites on an album full of favorites. Great stuff.

I thought the exact same thing. It totally reminds me of one of those epic SITKOL tracks.

Best track for me. Quintisential Prince. Everyone around me who hears this, loves it.

My only hope is Prince gives phase 2 decent promotion. This album deserves to be widely heard and not just a release us hardcore fans get to hear

A great great song. Great drums. Great piano. I put this in the Crystal Ball quality level.

How does this compare to the live version that was played (once?) on the Welcome 2 America tour?

Slightly slower tempo, the song is longer and has Prince joining the ladies on lead vocal. Other than that, very similiar. I LOVE that live version and I've been waiting for a legit release of this for a long time.

Listen to me on The House of Pop Culture podcast on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/u...d438631917

Black Muse
can I share with you
just came this morning
and it's mighty good news
they tipped the hour glass
now everything is past
it's true...

they gave the world back to u and me
the faces on the mountains
and the dirty sea
a trillion dollar bill
and no currency
still will we believe

powerful; love the way he put this. The lyrics, on top of the very uplifting music, makes this my top song of the bunch. It makes me feel hopeful.

Good track but I liked that Latin break better when he did it in Last December

Just read the new EBONY article and Prince said BLACK MUSE is the oldes recorded song on Phase 2, he was just saving it...

So it seems Black Muse is an "old track" he recorded a while ago...
