Associated artist song of the day: A Million Miles by Appollonia 6

Love the drumming, love the beat. Still not crazy about Brenda's vocalizing, but an awesome song.

"Somebody Clap Your Hands" cool

Brenda shoulda went solo! That girl carried Vanity and Apples!! She was Vanity 6, imo.

She should have went solo, but her voice is gruff and she needed to seriously learn how to control it cause it gets away from her. I would say she more or less Appollonia 6. Vanity 6 I felt had V's presence all over it, but Apples didn't have the charisma to carry a group.

U hit it dead on the head. It's because Brenda wasn't interested in P that way either. Not only because she was married. P only did albums for girls he slept with.

Yeah, and that's something I never respected him for. I can't blame him for sleeping with Vanity or Apollonia, but the music's meant to be something sacred, man. He should've been using his power to bring talented people out, not bimbos who couldn't even carry a tune. confused

How could I illustrate the way you make me feel
if I walked through fire,would you say my love is real
You got me crazy,I'd do most anything
If you got in trouble,I'd sell my diamond ring


This song was a nice surprise,totally unexpected.The music on this song is amazing.....great drumming by Sheila E! I dig the melody too.And you can hear Prince all over this song.

Her vocals on "Blue Limousine" are very impressive.I was shocked when I first heard that song.I couldn't believe it was her.

Love this song! Brenda had some funny-as-hell one liners in it:

"Would you eat a poison apple"...um no.
