West (N.E.W.S)

When I first got N.E.W.S some years ago I liked the other three tracks, but West was immediately my favorite razz I love it-I could listen to it over and over again and never tire of it music OMG!! Prince's guitar playing in here is to die 4 lol I remember sitting in the coliseum in Oklahoma City waiting for Prince on the Musicology tour and hearing West playing over the sound system-just beautiful worship

I'll have to refresh myself with N.E.W.S, it's been about 5 months since listening...

I favored South, although maybe it was because it held the whole thing.

I like the three uptempo tracks, but West is just so smooth you gotta heart it

The guitar solo in it is beautiful and chilling. That alone is enough to grant N.E.W.S. its whole one star out of five rating.

Well, I don't remember what kind of ratings N.E.W.S got, but your right that solo is CHILLING. I can't remember if this cd won a Grammy for best instrumental-that song alone makes it worthy of one wink

Love that track.
Dunno why, but when i hear it, the earlier part of it has a vibe to it like a more mellow version of Call My Name - i almost expect to hear him sing "i just can't stop writing songs about you, i love you so much".
Following Call My Name with West just seems to fit

the rhythm section is very, very similar to Call My Name's. Especially the bassline.

I think News is like 2 stars out of 5. Not very good. The songs are too long, the parts within a song often comes across as too unrelated with each other, and the few good parts don't outweigh the mediocre ones.

I love this album, and appreciate that he gave it to us at all, when he had to know that it would be generally dismissed.

"West" is a fabulous track on a flawless album which serves to demonstrate the true genius of his royal badness!
