Ya know, u gotta hand it to Prince for putting all he has into his music. Even when he doesn't have the most interesting idea, he stands behind it with conviction. That said, I think he spent way too much time on a pretty weak idea. Lyrically and musically. This track is kinda embarrassing and a total bastardization of his classic MPLS sound.

It is a juicy little track, and it seems like it was created in the same period of time as Brand New Orleans, but also has vocal traces from Acknowledgement (the patter in the chorus seems similar). Go figure him to stir the hornet's nest up like he did, only to turn around and go independent again (IMO, some of the strongest music he made in his career came from the 01-03 period).

However, what's with the "we both dimes, all the other pennies should scatter" lyric? Also, what's up with the vocal gimmick he's usin'?



I don't know, but that is funny...Somebody probably said 2 Prince...Why are men nickels? And Prince started thinkin'...I'm a dime lookin' 4 a dime... cool

This song absolutely stinks! prince is rapidly proving he cant wrie a decent song, how ever the previous 4 tracks previewed definately had a LOT more interest and far better production. BUT Controversy 2..... i dont think so.



You're entitled to your opinion of course and my comment won't go in this territory but you know what? Write your own songs instead of criticizing. Create and then you talk... wink

I agree with u Klaatu. I'm probably one of the most critical people you'll ever meet, but this song is 10x better than anything getting played on the radio. Much better than all of the "Prince-inspired" trax we're hearing on the radio now.

Over the years, I've figured out that there are 2 different kinds of Prince fans. The rock fans and the funk fans. The rock fans seem to ALWAYS despise the funk songs. The funk fans ALWAYS call his rock stuff "ok" or "lame". So, I guess they are one of the rock fans.

why does everyone keep saying that this or any of the other tracks
that were premiered yesterday are not controversy 2. like they are
critics with a degree in controversy song arrangement.

we can all hear they sound nothing like controversy but no one has
said they do or should.

all that was reported was that prince invited john to listen to an
ounce of new cuts which john described as sounding like an updated
controversy.

the man probably has 50 songs written and ready to go. so who knows
what he played and what he didn't play. simply because 5 songs show
up doesn't mean they are the ones john heard.

also, who said anything about this song being on the new album? or
for that matter, who said there is a completed album? prince played
"an album's worth" or material for the Sovel of which he gave him
4 tracks to play on the radio.

an album's worth of material does not constitute a completed album
even if prince has 10 songs on a particular cdr.

he's shopping ideas and atmospheres around and i think a definite
tracklist won't materialize for this "album" until about a week
before it's sent to the presses.


...and that's why I said that Prince has plenty more Funk up his sleeve, and not 2 worry.

Good point when U said, "who said anything about this song being on the new album?"

One would wonder why the publicized report of a track being as Funky as "Controversy", and 2 the point of saying it should be called "Controversy... Continues", then unleashing this track.

We can all at least "rest" assured that Prince DOES have a reason 4 everything he does. NO DOUBT.

Prince could be doing two distinctively things at once, and with ease...

He may be ready 2 release an album, AND startup a new music-based website.

He might just be tossing us this tune just 4 kicks.

He may, in fact, be ready 2 release a 2 part album... one with the stuff we heard on the radio, and more... and one more Funk/R&B based.

I'm not sure, myself, but one thing I am sure of...

He has PLENTY of material... This is not only assumed, but known.

Easy,

more JW inspired dry sounding, overconfident funklite... Put this one next to My Medalion and the rest of the amatuerish, immature nonsense Prince has prematurely unleashed on the fanbase.



Sure it's a little throw-away piece of quick fun. But so are dozens of the "legendary" beloved outtakes from back then.



Name the 'legendary' outtakes from the 80's that are this bad. I can't think of any.

OK, so everything I said in the original thread http://prince.org/msg/7/291927 was on point, then...

It's a nice, light, pop-like groove... I still say this can not possibly be what JB was talking about, when he used "Controversy" as a comparison. "Controversy" is hard, fat, throbbing FUNK... But don't worry folks...

Prince has PLENTY of Funk up his sleeve 2 come.

Meanwhile, I really dig the radio songs... "Colonized Mind" is the BOMB. LOVE his vocal in that one.

PEACE.
[Edited 12/19/08 6:44am]

'Colonized Mind' is hot. It's a step in the right direction. It's a well written, professional piece of music. The music touches you, the vocal line touches you, the lyrics are fresh and new. It could be a classic, I'm not sure yet. The thing that holds it back for me is that it should of been about a girl. You know how Prince did the 'Purple House' song on the Rave DVD? Give people sonething they can relate to, something they can cry too! That's what I want from Prince. Right now I can only appreciate CM intellectually. Maybe I need to play it a few more times. But still it's the best musical piece he has released in a long long time.

You can retrieve the song from the cache in your Mozilla/Firefox folder. Or just us RealPlayer or the full version to record the song through your stereo mixer.

I think it was named that because it was/is included on an album/cd project and it transitions from a different track with counting at the end. (I'm probably wrong though).

It was there 9:30am EST, because I listened to it, and I had a feeling it wasn't going to be there long. Lot of funk in that track too. I liked it.
