Alicia Keyes new song

Not the first song released "No One" but the other song "Hold Me" I think is the name of it. That has to be a Purple Rain sample right?

It's not a sample of PR. But the chord progressions are very similar.

People on here say that it has the same melody in the chorus to Purple Rain but to me, not really. Sometimes on here folks give Prince too much credit for things.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

There is an obvious similarity between the end of Purple Rain and "Like You'll Never See Me Again" But that's not necessarilly a bad thing. It's a good song.
"What kind of fuck ending is that?"

I have u 2 know that The New York Times stated the song was "distant cousin" of Purple Rain....so what does that say for Like I'll Never See You Again. It's very clear there was a Prince influence/connection. It's no secret that Prince and Alicia admire one another and their music. IMO is a good thing.I am hoping for a collaboration some day.
