the overproduced 'lite FM' crap i thought he ultimately doomed himself to.

music history lesson 4 those that feel that stevie 'stole' from
george clinton (knee deep) or snoop dogg
stevie was the one of the first of not THE FIRST 2 use
a moog synth as a bass line..which influenced bernie worrell
2 use a moog synth on such p-funk hits as flashlight,one nation and
knee-deep..which sound was later lifted by..dr.dre..
so b4 u say stevie 'stole' check the original source
how soon we 4get

my opinion of the song is as funky as it's gonna get from
a man in his 50's whose still trying 2 put something out 'fresh'
so the 'kids of 2day' will like it and it will get airplay
just like prince, stevie will NEVER be stevie of days gone by
but damn...if this was andre 3000..this would b the second coming

challenge:name me one so-called great R&B/Soul artist/musician that brought it creatively
in their 50's and made it relevant

I just heard the song, and this big wide grin like smile will not leave my face.
This is fun ky. Now all the this will not be a hit and stevie can do better crap had better cease. This song is Kick n, I will have the CD the day that it comes out, This song is REal REal REal funk. Some of everything, George Clinton, Herbie Hancock, Roger Troutman, oh yeah, whatz his name. Oh yeah, PRINCE. if you don't like this song you need to go back and get your battery recharged cause you have lost your funk.

Peace

i like it. it sounds like a return to his funky 70s sound, and not like the overproduced 'lite FM' crap i thought he ultimately doomed himself to.

GTFOHWTBS !!!
and, don't make excuses for Stevie cause he's in his 50's
Don't sleep on Gino Vannelli's synth undertakings as well.
Gino's music was ALL SYNTHS

BERNIE WORRELL DOES NOT SOUND LIKE STEVIE !!
*mr.music history dood*

that's like saying Prince, Bruce sprinsteen & Keith Richards can't pick up a telecaster cause "Roy Buchanan" made it popular first ?!?

THE SONG IS GARBAGE ! IMVHO
it really hurt me to say ANYTHING bad about STEVELAND
but, if Stevie had some REAL people around him
that was honest with him when he (re)wrote that mess
he would have tried harder ?

Prince & Stevie as amazing as they can be
ARE STILL MORTAL HUMAN BEINGS!
and, without GOD's inspiration...NOT their own
They are just a blind man who plays music & another that wears alot of make-up

HOLLA !!!

The last time I listened to one song over and over like this was Billy Jack Bitch. I could not get enough of it! It was a perfect example of the Minneapolis Sound, and was just "funky for no reason". Some have said that Stevie's new jam is an "OK" song, or Prince was "under-utilized", but for me it's just perfect, and very necessary in this era of sex, rims, and hip-hop beef. It just makes me feel good when I hear it! Kill me for being corny, but the release of SWTF has made my week.

You're not corny at all.I feel the same way

At the beginning of Stevie Wonder's new song, "So What the Fuss", Stevie say's "Prince, pop it!" after a mic-check... The chicken grease continues throughout the song. It's pretty tight! I'm happy to see the old school representing again The link to the song is at the bottom of the article.

What's wrong EWM? Not enough rock oriented 4 U, too adult contemporary 4 U?..or not edgy enough?
