It really sounds like Prince playing those instruments. I know he wrote it

I LOVED this song back in the day! Wish I could find it on CD. I also like Cool Love and 101. The music does sound Prince-y, doesn't it?

Yes he played the instruments and sang back up on Sugar Walls

You can hear him clearly on the line "I feel so alive when I'm with you..."
PM me if you want the 12" version on cd...

Peace, Serveitupfrankie*

all it consisted of was a Linn drum, and synths..good song but thats all it was

I know it was pretty simple, but he made it sound so much fuller...that was the genius of Prince...

It was more than that - guitars as well(slightly distored playing a riff and solo later on). And there was a lot of layering of the sounds as well. Standard Prince formula. The dx7 bass sound stands out and has a slight modulaion on it (hear it better on the 12").

I think the chorus (vocal melody) is pretty weak and surprised it got high in the charts. The trademark Prince sound is there on the flanging hi hat sound at the start, but the guitar solo at the end just sounds aimless. I like 95% of the keyboard sounds prince chose in the 83-87 period.

Sugar Walls is one of the sexiest song ever I can make you never wanna fall in love again

Yeah,"Sugar Walls" is a very simple song,and it doesn't sound like Prince really spent alot of time on it.The lyrics are not some of his best...


"Blood races to your private spots
Let me know if there's a fire
You can't fight passion when passion is hot"


sounds like a rush job to me

One of my favorites from that era... so sensual, so funky, mmh... the extended version is so great... & i think the "sugar walls" idea made good lyrics.

Well...
