This is a song Jamiroquai could have done,
but it isn't like Prince never did a song like this be4,even be4 Jay Kay!

It's gonna be a beautiful night,Sleep around,...

It's a great song,even after 1 listen.
And we all know we don't have 2 expect another Get Off or 319 these days

I totally hear a similarity. It was the first thing I thought of when I heard the song. I'm not saying it's the exact same bassline, just that it has the same sound.

IMO, I think it will sound better live, just like Get On The Boat.

i love this song!! it is sooo disco..looking forward to getting my groove on donna summer style to this.the female singer is fantastic!!

thats a million disco bass lines from the late 70's! Daft Punk was just being retro as well. They mixed it all electronic. Prince performed it all old school live sound. Like most of this album.

I'm just saying that it specifically reminds me of that particular song. No other disco songs come to mind when I hear it.

spelling edit

I forgot 2 mention that I'm surprised a lot of folks don't like the vocals, but that voice is perfect on this cut, and Prince's backgrounds R priceless... listen 4 the "might as well dance..." harmonies.

Song just KICKS. I love the slight reverb on the kick drum. It sounds like Prince on the drums 2 me... Only Sheila has that driving kick drum 4 on the floor thang, pushing the beat ever so slightly ahead. I think it's Prince.

ufoclub said:

I don't know...that clipped, almost ska-like guitar and those New Orleansish horn solos are not something I ever heard in disco.

The only thing I don't like is that weird, jumpy turnaround toward the end.

MendesCity said:

Yes, those elements are deviant from the smooth studio effected cushioned sound of most authentic disco, and that's why I am tagging it a strong "live" style arrangment.

Hmm, I CANNOT wait to here this one.

Slight similarity with the daft punk baseline but only slight

I love the ska guitar riff on this... id even go close to saying its genius.

got to dig out my specials albums

it's not that remarkable! Kind of like something he would go into live... no crazy studio tricks here.

Is this song like "Billy Jack Bitch"? Because, if not, it ain't that synth/organ-stank "PHONK" that I miss from him.

ufoclub said:

No problem with that. I'm pretty good at keeping my expectations reasonable anyway.

I'm just intrigued by the things that are said about the bass line, because it really seemed to have been ages since he wrote a song around a bass line. Also, the ska-like guitar, brass, all that.

MendesCity said:

Agreed. Prince has invented a new music genre - ska disco! This track is actually quite eccentric with its live drums and ska guitars with the rest disco.

Slight shame about the generic soul singer lead vox tho. P seems to have a thing for them, and other than Rosie Gaines, I've never dug them.

don't get too hyped up about it yet. people are making out like this
is prince's best and most funky song in a decade.

in fact, it's my least fav song on the album and i would gladly see
it replaced with anything else.

it's not even a prince song, it feels like a protege song patched on
to the album. kinda like "beautiful, loved and blessed", but worse..

i like all the other tracks on the album but this one, nope
there's something very forced and directed about it. if it were him
on vocals perhaps it would be less grating.

however, i still think i'd prefer glasscutter on the album since it
would fit the flow of the disc more.



all i'm saying is lower your expectations

IstenSzek said:

Nah, I don't believe you.

I mean, it must be better than Mr Goodnight and BLB. Although those are alright, too.

best song (haven't heard the whole album yet) but this is the best song

Really the only song off the CD I have on repeat except for maybe SwHOE. Love it, but no it's not the funkiest song Prince has did in awhile but it's something fun.

calldapplwondery83 said:

i love those two songs far, far more than chelsea rodgers



they are, incidentally, the two songs that improve the most when you
hear them on an actual authentic cd. the sounds on them come alive n
there is so much stuff going on in both compared to the 96kbps vers.

I like the song! Makes me

And yet still a pile of cack.

Thankfully I'd also included an audio rip of the SOTT DVD on my MuVo, so I could remind myself of what Prince is supposed to sound like (that killer "Forever In My Life/It" medley, for instance).

Crap songs, crap production, crap lyrics. Beyond self-parody.

Prince can throw Amy Winehouse's name around all he likes, but instead he'd better LISTEN to her album.

IstenSzek said:

still enjoying it

Not listened to any other CDs then.

Let's see: employs cult producer (I love it how Prince fams pretend that Jacques LuCont and Mirwais are hit producers), tours with a show that consists of 90% new music, has KILLER dancers. Remixers beg to do her tracks.

(Versus Prince: stuck in a rut for 10+ years, now performing bland jazzrockfunk jams for elite crowds, relies on dumb publicity stunts to get attention, remixers refuse to touch his shit.)

BartVanHemelen said:

You know, I mentioned before that I hoped Prince's music went in the Amy Winehouse direction. He was almost there with TRC/ONA, just had to take it more "old-school". Maybe on the next one!

BartVanHemelen said:

Amy Winehouse=junk

We get it man. You don't like Prince. Now go and have a long visit on an Amy Winehouse site.

Well, I think there's evidence to suggest he WAS a bit androgynous and the art of that period was distinctly more "realistic" so he was probably portrayed as he naturally was... rather than specifically asking to be portrayed as such.
