n.e.w.s.

I played this c.d. for a friend of mine who just happens to love jazz & not really like Prince at all. Guess what? He loved it. It just goes to show you one man's wine is another man's poison. Have any other members ever turned someone on who thought they didn't like Prince's music?

I had a muso friend who was really into jazz and soul, so I gave him a copy of The Rainbow Children and he absolutely raved about it! He said he could hear so many influences in it, Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, lots of James Brown and Stevie Wonder, etc.

It's called S.N.O.O.Z.E. for a reason. Most boring major album Prince has ever released.

I love N.E.W.S. Now that I think about it I have never turned anyone onto P successfully. I think the people I know have already made up their minds.

N.E.W.S. was another hit for Prince IMHO. I'm also a jazz lover so that's probably why. I also think TRC is excellent as well.
Mark 12: 30-31: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as yourself

Diamonds and Pearls is well worth a listen , arent you aware of any of the singles , you probably already know a 3rd of the album if you know the single releases .

N.E.W.S = Nothing Ever Worse Sounding
Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

Thats just it, between The Hits set and a download of Insaitiable boxed
I feel like I have most of the best songs already. The rest of the album isnt too well recieved around here (Jughead, Daddypop, etc.)

But Im dying to hear Thunder so I'll probaly get it soon anyhow smile
If you will, so will I
