There's nothing revolutionary about "Te Amo Corazon," but something about its simple familiarity -- the fulsome Prince production, the lounge-y atmosphere, his abrupt swings into falsetto -- will make you want to sink right into it like a favorite armchair. (A sexy armchair, mind you.) Sade, move over: Prince has mastered island-breeze lounge-pop.

nice to hear they dont dislike it.

am sorry am going to keep it real here but am not feeling the new prince single is boring as hell, it almost damn near putted me to sleep and when i listen to prince's music i dont want to go to sleep i want to party damn it.

I agree...But...Im trying to be not so judgemental...when i first heard it i was actually PISSED off...Im so tired of hearing crap from a one time genius,

From a one-time genius? I can't believe you found the audacity to let that roll off your finger tips. You folks are funny.

So he's not producing what you like anymore. Go out and find something or someone that does. Life's too short to spend griping...get out there and get with the things that you do enjoy.

I hear u...BUT i mean exactly what i wrote...genius does not have to mean ONLY as a musician/artist...it could be a marketing genius...or several other kinds...I think he once was a GENIUS at being ahead of the curve and at throwing his fans curve balls that wound up being So amazing/innovative that they become the new standard...ALA...kiss/when doves cry with no bassline yet still funky as hell...I think that is long gone...so yes...ONE TIME GENIUS !

Well, you can always have a favourite colour, say, 'pink', and still appreciate other ion compressions such as, say, 'blue', 'red' and 'indigo'. But none of them actually exist at a molecular level. Much like music genres. They don't exist - it's just notes. Personally, I think Tibo Ma Cobothorn or whatever it calls itself fucking rawks like a motherfucker.

I can tell by your signiture you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Reading your writing is like watching a newborn giraffe trying to gain its balance, dude.

prettymansson said:

He aint no one-time genius! He's a genius for always. Just because he's not putting out anything you like don't mean shit. He told everybody a long time ago that he is not one to go back in the past so give off that shit on him not sounding or being what he used to be. He had the top selling tour last year and was inducted into the Hall of Fame so screw what chu got to say. Take your haterade and shut up!

prettymansson said:

SO YES SHUT UP!

Have you considered switching to decafe?

MickG said:

No, but I'll consider it if you consider knowing what a real genius and if you consider listening to somebody else if Prince ain't doing it for you no more.
Prince could beat the shit out of these no-talents that are out right now anyday. He's a GENIUS FOR ALWAYS. Ain't no one time.

Anyone else notice a glitche in the editing of the end of the download?

A very small sidenote to this deep conversation, I know, but, didja notice???

Anyways, with all that platform space, I agree that Prince shoulda come harder with a chance like that. "Te' Amo Corazo'n" is a weak effort for that kind of exposure.

You people are all hypocritical and ungrateful. You've spent the last year and a half talking and pleading non-stop for new Prince material, and when he finally gives it 2 u y'all thro back at his face.

"Te Amo Corazon" is a good song. I agree that it's no "When Doves Cry" or "Sign 'O' The Times" but it's probably one of his best songs in over a decade.

U can't just expect Prince to be releasing the same ol' songs like "Kiss" etc.

U gotta let him spread his tallent, give the song a break, its F***in AMAZING!!!!!

welcome to the underbelly of fandom. dunno why you've just now opened your eyes to it, but here it is.

I'm surprised it's getting 4 out of 5 stars rating?? Even as a Prince fan, I can admit the song sux...

Sade music is boring puts you to sleep, in a coma, tell me some good news.

am sorry if i started something but it use to be a time when after i got finished listening to prince's songs that i needed a cold shower. but now after listening to te amo carazon i need a hot cup of coffee to keep me from falling asleep i mean what is going on Prince man?? u got to come back to ur funk roots dude.

some of you REALLY need to relax. EVERY song that prince does is not going to be up tempo funk and the funny thing about it is that you ALL should know this by now. Prince said himself that this song is not indicative to the overall flow of the forthcomming album. in the words of the great Stevie' "so whats the fuss?" TAC is a very nice song and nice little curve ball from the man. very well done. and for all you know, this could be the equivilant to "take me with you" on PR. or it may not, one things 4 sure, we'll see soon enough. I myself can't wait!

Oh how i wish this was the equivilant of "TAKE ME WITH YOU" thats one of my favorite tunes of all time....its more the equivilant of reflection or the one...both boring ass tunes IMO

Is that a good thing?

glamslam2themax said:

The best thing that's been said on this tread. Now I see why Prince was puttin' out stuff that turned some fans off and I see why he didn't perform alot of his old stuff on the ONA shows. You damned if you do, you damned if you don't

As far as Te Amo Corazon not sounding like When Doves Cry or any of his old classics Prince is never going back to like he was. Didn't you just hear him say on Jay Leno that he wants to make room for new music? How are you gonna grow as an artist if you still doin' the same old stuff. If he was doin' the same old thing for the past 25 years you'd be bitchin' about that.

TurnItUp said:

Yup
Same old, same old.
That's the point of the argument, my friend.
He's capable of making so much more than mainstream.
It frustrates the purple people, see?
He needs to get out further than Canada and hole himself up in an igloo with just a rubber band and a 4-track.
Only then, will we see Prince return to some sort of creativity.

's for everyone!
It's the weekend!!!

sade's got a better voice
the timbre of it, i mean

bsmooth732001 said:

Where did Stevie say that? I wanna read!
I like this song, although I sometimes think it´s too much Sade...but I am sure there will be other funky stuff on the album. Every Prince album has a ballad...

"So what's the fuss?" is a track from Stevie's new album "A Time to Love."
