Seems like this forum is all about killing Prince for all he does wrong but no love for what he gets right. Getting behind Judith Hill is all kinds of right and she had a show out performance on Steven Colbert! Along with a great write up n the NY Times as well as Apple Music doing promo tweets for her debut album which is on NPG Records. Let's support this wonderful artist who is the first artist in a long time to get this kind of push from our guy Prince.

Here's some links to check out if you haven't had the chance yet;

Only on itunes? Is that all?

iTunes and TIDAL is selling the lossless FLAC version of the album on their site like they did for HitNRun.

This is Chaka Kahn meets Adele in a time machine while checking out a Sly Stone concert. This is also Prince's musical genius finding someone who has already written several terrific songs by herself who appears to share a similar musical background at the foot of her youthful keyboard. Having lived with this record for a few months now I can say with much more confidence that — besides 10 or 15 Prince solo records which rank him as one of the greatest musical artists to ever hit record — this is my current favorite and maybe my all-time favorite that Prince produced for another (yes, including Sheila E.'s first, Jill Jones' only, and perhaps even The Time's first two). Don't leave Judith at the altar due to that rather colorless, humdrum found on the opening of Prince's latest. This is the "Million $ Show". --- [Edited 10/23/15 20:49pm]

I agree. The albums Prince has produced for Tamar Davis (Milk And Honey), Andy Allo (Superconductor), Liv Warfield (The Unexpected) and now Judith Hill (Back In Time) are better produced than most of Prince's albums since 2006. I don't understand why Prince doesn't put the same attention to detail and at least to my ears, passion, into his own albums. But back to Judith. Judith Hill has the talent, chops and songwriting to reap the commercial success and critical acclaim she surely deserves. Prince so far has helped release her debut album and maybe it won't top the charts or even win awards, but Judith Hill has established herself as a serious musician that can have legs to stand on with or without Prince's involvement after she parts ways with Prince at some point.

I just dont see anything extraordinary about Hill. THe fact that MJ and Prince wanted her is still the biggest mystery in music to me.
