I know, I know.

Anyways, just wanted to put my piece in. It's such a happy and upbeat vibe. I'm lovin it!

Y'all are makin' me look bad.

Somebody say something!

I like Brand New Orleans.

Both those songs are good. Put 'em next to "Get on the Boat" and all three sound better.

I like this song so much, as well as Brand New Orleans.
together, they could have replaced "Incense & Candles"
on the new album imo.

Arent they the same song just split in 2....
Around the 2:40..part of SST....Is where BNO starts and then fades away
And on beginig of BNO...it sounds like the thunder & keys intro.were added in..
To what sounds like the fade in/out track of SST..
But yes i do like them....but i like SST Better

Edit 1 more thin either im slow or dont remember,but what does SST stand for

S.S.T. = Sade's Sweetest Taboo

"S.S.T." includes some preachy-type lyrics, fades out before it gets funky
"Brand New Orleans" doesn't, and it gets much funkier than "S.S.T."
yeah, they're pretty much the same song
but you'll find people around here who like one much better than the other

Snap said:

yeah but i just see them as 1 song. an extended version of SST
kinda like the "Girl" extended version

it's like calling it "Girl" and cutting it in half with the 2nd
half called "The Water in Ur Bath"

It remembers kinda like the old records by JBs 'Sex machine pt 1 and 2 (a and b-side), It's too funky in here (part 1 and 2) etc.
Every song which was too long, was split into 2 half when they went single.

I like that way.
It's like a reprise.
Funky (germish)

I'd call it "Your Ass Is So Tight."

Glad you like it. I love it, myself.

Thank y'all for takin' pity on me and keepin' my thread alive.

Feel free to discuss whatever else may be on your mind!

Snap said:

Herbie digs it 2.

The email that went out from NPGMC when the song was released mentioned that Prince was previously listening to Sweetest Taboo and thus inspired to record the new tune.

Love it, I like his sensible message songs.

Yeah. Walmart is the only retail store that I have seen carry it. Otherwise, it's available online at Amazon.com, etc.

Simply bought it at the recordstore (ok wreckastow) here in Holland (The Netherlands)
Strange that it's not available widely then in the US

Nice catchy song

I'm gonna get creamed. This is the first negative comment on this thread.

I have heard it twice. Once when it came out and last week.

I remembered why grande time had passed between listens.

It stinks. If it's suppossed to be inspiring - it's not.

Found it very boring.

I absolutly love Prince's extended jams and instrumentals. I could listen to him riff all day. Mind you I'm from New Orleans but "Brand N.O." was complete boredom. It reminded of the 21 minute version of America that just went on and on and on.....with barely any musical change. "2 Nigs United 4 West Compton" is a JAM!

All right, Everybody HOLLA!

Prince and Sade...my 2 favorite artist.

Haven't seen it on the UK... otherwise i would have bought it you understand...

pity

I really like this song,IMO I purchased this right after the hurricane! I think of him listening to Sade and writing this!

Dewrede said:

Yes. Yes, it is...
