No, it sounds like a Prince song. People spend WAY too much THINKING and not enjoying. That is a damn funky ass track...live it's going to be SICK then all the nay sayers will be singing it's praises.

crazymf said:

I can't call it..."Fury" as an album cut is pretty good and the live version with the harder guitar work is even better....BUT, This is not the right single for 3121...As is, "Fury" will not attract the rock crowd or the R&B crowd (maybe if the guitar was more prominent in the mix, it would get some love from the rock formats); The right single choice would have been "Lolita"...It's an infectious pop track...nothing more nothing less; and it stands a chance of being embraced by the pop radio formats...I hope this is a curveball...

Could this new teaser on NPGMC, be a sweaty remix of black sweat or Fury?

AndreC said:

Yep, now it's changed a little again. Obviously, it is Fury! So now we know what the new single is. Ain't no fury like a woman scorned!

I think it says:

New single in
FEBRUARY

Coming soon

more like FURBY!!!

purplecam said:

True...true..

VenusBlingBling said:

It seems like a bigger guitar is in the middle and separates the word 'FURY' in two parts.
But I could be wrong.

Anyway, I like it... it's quite psychedelic!

The single will only work (no matter what it is) if there is an alternate version on it, a remix or an additional track we havent heard... Thats it.

If its like BS and exactly the same as the album version with no extra, who is gonna buy it? I wont be... It can be the greatest song he has ever written, it will sink like a lead balloon unless he gives his fans an incentive to buy it and get it noticed by everyone else...

metalorange said:

yeah, maybe "FURRY"?

charlottegelin said:

Yeah, FURRY - it's a brand new song from 3122, the follow-up to 3121. This is the album he was born to make, also containing the hit songs Black Sweater and Get On The Goat.

Rebeljuice said:

Who's gonna buy it? Who buys singles nowadays anyways?

booyah said:

With the b side "Grass Cutter"?

skywalker said:

You would be hard pressed to find someone on the Org, for example, who wouldnt buy a new single with a [wicked] additional track not found on the album or a different version to the album track...

lets say half the people who sent the album to no1 in the first week went out and bought such an enhanced single, how many copies would that mean? Enough to get the single in the top 5? Enough to get it noticed and played by radio, chart shows etc etc? I think so.

>>Fury has been confirmed to be the next single. It's suppose to be released 5/22...read it on HQ.<<


5/22 ???

6 weeks?...the album will be dead in the water by then.

Hopefully will be pushed to radio before then. But Fury should have been ready to go a week or two after 3121's release, esp when it became obvious Black Sweat wasnt doing anything.

Fury wont get airplay. Song strictly for hardcores who understand.

CherrieMoonKisses said:

Exactly ...

No infectious hook for Pop radio .

Too rock for R&B

Good song but its just not a single. I think Prince got caught up in all the praise he got from it on SNL

Fury remix? I hope so.....20 minute version.

If fury is the next single its gonna bomb ! his only hope is with love...or lolita

u r correct can not wait 2 see this one! 'there's no fury like a womman scorned "

prettymansson said:

I expect Fury will bomb, but more because it will unlikely get any more promotion or aiplay than Black Sweat got. It kind of seems there aren't many rock fans on this site, this is far more a rock song than anything else. However, it certainly isn't representative of the album as a whole, any rock fans who buy this album on the strength of Fury will surely be disappointed there are no other rock tracks.

I don't really think any song on 3121 could be a hit without some deal to guarantee radio airplay. I like Love, but it is not much different to Black Sweat in genre and sound. Lolita is catchy, but it also has questionable lyrics, in that some lyrics are just plain bad while overall the subject matter of the song is dodgy, about whether or not to sleep with a very young girl. I reckon in the UK at least, DJs would have a field day ripping the shit out of that song if it was released, especially with all the tabloid stories about child pornography and internet grooming, etc.

metalorange said:

I sort of understand what you are saying but.....I am a bit confused. If damn ass songs like "My Humps", "laffy taffy", and others can be "hits", why can't a Prince song? This is discounting the payolo factor of course.

Best choice for a single.

SquirrelMeat said:

at all the 3122 tracks...

Graycap23 said:

I've argued this at length on other threads. Bottomline, DJs play what is 'in'. Prince is not 'in' anymore, respected, yes, but not 'in'. He's seen as someone who has their best days behind them and they're not interested in the effort it takes to revive interest in him. Heck, even having the number one album didn't create a surge of interest in DJs playing Black Sweat and therefore going up in the US airplay charts.

6 weeks is a long time seeing as the image will reveal itself way before then.

rbrpm said:

there's no fury like a woman's corn!

metalorange said:

I dig. If your logic is true, (and I believe that it is) why would Prince release any singles?

That cover looks hot. And Fury has the potential to be a great hit ..if he does a lot of live performances to back it and ..the single should have an alternate live version.

This song is awesome. The delivery ...the lyrics, the energy, the guitar.

"One man's blues is another man's glory. Sun to a shadow, rose to a thorn -- there ain't no fury like a woman scorned. Oh no!"
