so i recently heard the n.e.w.s. album for the first time and i really like it. it is so different from the typical prince music. i also heard s.s.t./brand new orleans and i really like this too! the instrumental stuff is so real and raw. i was impressed to hear that he recorded n.e.w.s. only in one day.

side note-i also recently discovered elephants and flowers after seeing graffiti bridge. i LOVE this song! it is so cool how prince's music can be mainstream and catchy yet spiritual at the same time.

thanks for replying

what does everyone else think about n.e.w.s.? i know it wasn't as well received as the other albums, but i think it really shows amazing musicianship.

Ive gotton ever album as they come out (DIEHARD) fam

I like N.E.W.S. and I will listen to it occasioanally when I'm not in the mood to hear lyrics and sing along....I find that the music is really enjoyable to have going in the house when I am pre-occupied with something.

N.E.W.S. is... interesting.
