I like Andy but I have to agree this video could have and should have been much better. He also could have showcased her more instead of the band. I love the intro and I agree that's probably the best part of the video. The dancing is horrendous and the sad part is she used to be a dancer and choreographer in Sac. I also makeup (too dark) and the clothes. I know she's going for a funk look but you can still be feminine or where cuter clothes. It would've been nice to have P in the video too since we know that's him on guitar. I'm starting to dislike how much he's changed her. I liked the indie vibe and how she was herself before. Sigh. I do like the songs I've heard so far though.

I think this is just sad. Her other album had more of a coffee house feel to it. She has clearly allowed herself to be "transformed" into a Prince girl - only to lose herself in the process. It is such a sad pattern that he continues to perpetuate.....hey if they are happy who is to judge, but the music just doesn't do it!

Can't get Brain Stew (by Green Day) out of my head every time I hear the riff.

Obviously the song is totally different.

But, eh, yeah, it's a total protege song, she looks and acts like how Prince acts and looks these days. It's good enough.

I can't get Jeff Lorber's "Rain Dance" out of my head when I hear People Pleaser.

well now listen to that!

This video showcased Princey's new NPG band line up perfectly. More so than any of his videos. Its a good introduction to them & works perfectly with promotion of his new projects..

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

Another one of those songs you need to hear live. You can hear Maceo on sax, but he's not in the video!?!? confuse

The horn section reminds me of Tower of Power.

It's nice, nothing groundbreaking but funky and that's okay.

i still don't like the song. it's too much of a 'stutter, stop, start' song for my taste.

it's conducted (lol) great and all the instrumentation is on point.

it's just the actual composition that does very little for me.

nice video though. good to see a band featured in a video so prominently instead

of just showing tits and ass.

i had to laugh though, seeing the npgmusicclub carpet on the floor lol

still very curious to hear the prince penned tracks from this project. so when is it

going to be released again? the 20th?

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I like the energy of the horns in the song, and the bass. Both brings a lot of life to the track and the energy of the song is appealing to various age groups. I'm not going to lie, I have caught myself singing the first two lines of that song, several times. lol

I like the song, but don't care for the video. It looks like a cheap late-90s Hype Williams wannabe.

The songs that Prince gave Andy are just hot. I wish he would have kept them for himself. But it shows he has some gems left in his vault...

It was great to finally see the video, I really liked it! Just can't get enough of them horns!! They're soo funky! John Blackwell & Ida bring that NPG funk no doubt & Andy is beautiful, fresh & so cool in it! I love her image cool As others have said, I would have liked the camera to linger & stay on Andy a bit more, showcasing her as a performer & seeing her move. I feel we only got to see glimpses of her here & there.

People Pleaser is very funky, but oh how I wish the tempo of this song was just a teeny tiny bit faster!! Tried to dance to it & all is great when the whole band & horns are on it, but in the verses when it's only Andy's voice & the drum beat & bass, it kinda loses me I'm afraid! My hips & feet are searching for some extra percussion sound in there to carry them & there's just no rhythm to move to in those little rhythmless silences. Furthermore, Andy's vocals somehow slow the verses down even more but perhaps that was the intention?

If it was just a tad faster, it would blend a bit better & these funky feet wouldn't be left stranded waiting for the beat to pick up again. With that slow-mo part, it makes People Pleaser more of a song to bob ur head to, or strut to. But hey, it's only my opinion & I know absolutely hee-haw about music! Haha lol Maybe it's exactly meant to have that really laid back funk sound, I don't know. But, with all said & done, I love it and I know I will Simply adore Superconductor. Heard a few snippets on Soundcloud from Andy's listening party & I'm hooked already. music Looks like there are some really beautiful songs on there!

I googled this and ended up finding a few videos and um, wow they must have had a shortage on rhythmic talent in Sacramento. Andy's white girl is showing fa sho! falloff falloff I would sue whoever published this on youtube if I was her. lol

Meh, when is the new Prince album available?

And as far as Andy is concerned, she needs a reality check. I don't think she has any sense of self-assesment of what she can, capability etc. Nobody is getting famous or achieving stardom just by sleeping with famous people, only bimbos do. I bet nobody told her!

Prince I will always miss and love U.

Ditto all the comments that (1) she looks like a guest in her own video (Ida and the horns look like they own this more than her), (2) that the styling doesn't suit her (maybe something like Alicia Keys' outfit in Woman's Worth video, more natural not so heavy but still funky and cool), and (3) that her "dance" movements (arms at the beginning, especially) don't look crisp like a dancer, or even like Prince back in the day.

Also, LOL at the "dance" video posted by goldenparachute - but Golden, that's not her "white girl" showing, that's just being a lame dancer. I'm reminded that Mayte was the best dancer P ever had on stage with him - way way better than Damaris who is black, and supposedly learned dance at a performing arts school. And besides Mayte (I dont know if you consider a puerto rican "white"), there are countless badass white dancers who dance "street" styles amazingly well.

AA is simply not top-notch at anything that she supposedly does. Except maybe she's quite good at modeling for ads, but not high fashion modeling.

If you think Mayte's the best dancer ever on stage with P obviously you're not familiar with his guest dancer Misty Copeland. Mayte is adorable and I loved their chemistry together but I never consider her a good dancer - hell even Diamond & Pearl were better than her.

Cat's cool in my book as well. I wish Prince could get rid of all his lousy dancers for good and actually hire professional, great dancers and spend more time improving the visual part of the show. I mean come on, if some fans think Mayte is the most decent dancer P's ever had what does that say about Prince as a director/creator of his own shows lol?

Oh, I'm very familiar with Misty Copeland, even before she ever danced with P! I just wasn't thinking of her though, because I was thinking of the typical backup style dancing, the style like in that YT video or in the People Pleaser video, not ballet, because golden said AA was dancing like a "white girl."
Anyway, however you rank Mayte, my point was that she's white (or, not black) and still dances this style better than Andy.

I feel Prince doesn't need dancers & all the extra stuff that other artist need to distract their lack of talent & showmanship. Prince is a gifted performer & just can sit at a piano like Little Richard & entertain the crowd just as well, or play acoustic guitar. He is a brilliant showman....
