Just heard it. Not bad, not bad at all. Sounds like something from one of my Prince bootleg tapes, one of those sweet ballads from the late 70's/early 80's that was never released. Or a ballad that would work on the "Prince" album. Not my kind of song, but romantic and well done nonetheless. Sounds old school to me, but with great vocals like Soul Sanctuary or Love They Will B Done.

it reminds me of "what do u want me 2 do" but that's probably just
the linn drum.

although the tempo is slower and the drum programming is much more
reminiscent of the purple rain era whereas "what do u want me 2 do"
was more contemporary despite the use of the linn drum.

i like it, i like it a lot.

BuyPolarBear said:

Sorry.

yes the linn drum that's what i meant to say.

Big up to Miss Lothan! thanks for the heads up.

Sorry to post again so quick but that was my first complete hearing -- and this is, to me, CLASSIC PRINCE!!!

I loved everything about it: his voice, the linn drum programming, the arrangement...just stellar.

Thanks Lothan for starting this thread.

PurpleCharm said:

You're welcome. I'm glad y'all got to hear it.

Indeed. Thanks Lothan!

I was just told that 102.3 in ATL is playing it every 30 minutes.

On the version I heard a female caller called in and said "I like that fruture baby mama" (yes, fruture, it was very sweet) with a southern voice that was really really cute sounding.

Great great song and sound/feel/vibe to this.

Well, I'm kinda drunk right now, just heard it, but I don't really remember it being like Call My Name at all.

Crap, can't them MFs play it again!?

Only if you put some coffee it that MF system of yours.

Damn it! The live stream keeps cutting out every few seconds and "re" buffering. I can't hear more than 5 seconds of music at a time and so far nothing that I can tell is Prince. Has anyone heard it on a NYC radio station (so I can turn on my radio)?

Although, reading all the songs it's being compared to, I doubt I'll like it. I'm one of those Prince fans who doesn't really like when Prince does ballads/slow songs.

Moonbeam said:

It doesn't remind me of Call My Name. It's soulful with plenty of Prince's sexy crooning throughout. ME LIKES IT A LOT!!! LOL

Thanks for the link Naujiar! Got to listen to it after listening for a few minutes. I likey.

That hook reminds me of something...a showtune maybe???

It's funny that you said Man O War because strangely enough I've been singing that song all day and just sat here thinking how FBM reminds me a little of Man O War.

Tha's some sexy shit, right dere.

Deep down, I know what you want. You want your girlfriends to hate you.

WOW!!!

airbak said:

Wow what? The ambivalence towards Prince's slow jams? (Don't even get me started on Adore... ) It was the funky stuff that got me into Prince. Come to think of it, I don't really like slow jams by anyone (that I can think of offhand anyway--ooh except Sam Cooke.). Slow jams are just.....too slow.

"how bout dis brootiful dress?"

mmm! i like it! so glad it's not another satisfied/on the couch.

MarcelJ said:

Raze said:

i don't get it ... why don't u like satisfied nor on the couch. I really loved those two! and ur not the first i hear it from. what is it u don't like?

Revolution said:

it reminds me a tiny bit of a Gwen Stefani beat.

Shhh747 said:

i like each of then just fine. but 2 nearly identical songs on back-to-back albums makes me glad that we're not going for the hat trick with that particular song.
