Love should have been the 3rd single..

I was playin' LOVE for the 100th time on my IPOD speaker's today.. and my boiee turned to me and said

"this is the best song on the cd"..,

and I have to agree..

Don't get me wrong, FURY is pure genius and I'm glad that is a single but i was so lookin 4ward to hearin' LOVE on the radio'.. hittin those top ten songs during rush hour.....

Let's not give up hope. Hopefully Prince will have some sense and Love will be the next single after Fury. I'm really hoping Prince does the right thing.

I totally agree. Love is a stronger track than Fury and possibly the strongest track on the album, as you say. The synth work is fantastic and that breakdown at the end makes me want to shake my white arse black.

Prince thinks its cool to put radio friendly songs as the b-side! Maybe that way the radio dj's feel cool when they play something they're not supposed to... wait... there are no dj's anymore, its just cylon centurians running things... sad

Yep, so irritating. That double chorus at the end is the highlight of 3121.

my comments about Love from another thread:

ya know..i just hate the verse..its very lazy..the lyrics are lazy....but the music and the arrangment kick arse.....and the chorus wouldnt be that bad if he didnt resort to the "sameness" style chorus multi-layered vocals that he has been stuck with using the past few years...its as stale as the NPG moniker..papa needs a brand new bag because the verse and the layered chorus betray him.

Listen, if we're really considering "Fury" to be the third single from an album that was released, what, a month ago... Fine.

But that just means this album has enough steam to last it to 5 singles.

If "Te Amo Corazon" was supposed to DO ANYTHING on the charts, then I seriously laugh at both Universal and Prince.

"Black Sweat" was a fucking smart choice for a single. It's poppin' in Atlanta. And I just moved from there to San Francisco and it's poppin' here too.

If you ask me, "Black Sweat" is the first single. "Fury" is the second. "Love" should, without a doubt, be the third - with a big video, big push for promotion and adds, and just all-around a big PUSH for all the exposure it can handle.

Lawd knows he's accustomed to releasing an album every 2-3 years now, like regular folk. Let's give 3121 the staying power it deserves.

To this day, I still can't understand why the FUCK TAC was chosen as a lead-off single.

Seriously, it's like Prince takes bets on how badly he can screw up the promotion of an album.

As if there's going to be a point to release a 3rd single, let alone the Usher/Britney inspired 'Love.'
No hard feelings.

love as the b-side, what an IDIOT!

just like housequake as a b-side, and hot thing as a b-side...
ridiculous, those were both singles on their own.....

the concept of a double a-sided single exists only in prince's head...

a real b-side is god, 17 days, she's always in my hair, how come u dont call me, erotic city, etc..
i miss those days....!

It's a crime that Love is a B-side! Prince must be on drugs or something...

I agree, but because of the rest of the song I still think it's one of the strongest tracks on the album; better than fury.

like many musicians Prince was in love with one song: TAC
And then he wanted to release it as a teaser with a nice video.
The first real single is BS.
Now Fury...next Lolita perhaps...
I think Fury had to be released as a single..it`s too good
Love as a b side is not so bad...radio dj will check it out and give it some spins
But why no remixes or outtakes??

if u ask me prince never picks the right singles for release(well i shouldnt say never)but lolita should be the next single with a dance remix.same thing for 3121.black ssweat should have a dance remix(s).the song is basically begging for a house remix .he needs to get back to the clubs.madonna has had too long a run at the top of the dance charts(although i do love her)
