Mayte 'Children of the Sun'

I've just recently rediscovered Mayte's album from 1995 and I forgot how good it is. Can't get it off the car stereo!

Generally I find a lot of people think the album is weak, as Mayte could use some vocal polishing... but I appreciated how Prince executed it. It comes across as a little forced & mainstream, but tracks like In Your Gracious Name & that guitar riff from Ain't No Place Like You save it for me yes. It would have been interesting to hear some of those songs live, but I am not sure that was ever possible, Prince might have had to carry the vocals... razz
"All the world is faith, trust and pixie dust...''

rose Love gets in my eyes, yet I can see clearer than I've ever seen yes

I prefer Mayte's version of 'If I Luv U 2Nite' over Mica Paris' version.

I thought it was among the stronger of his protegee's releases, honestly.

I didn't mind it, is it better than Jill Jones or Sheila E debut?, er no lol but she has presence and great partner for Prince's shows and videos, and she is another reason why prince is one of my fav Prince albums of the 90s

Keep Calm & Listen To Prince

I can play this album all the way through without getting bored. In fact I should give it another spin, it's been ages.
