Colonized Mind and a Bria song "All This Love"


[Edited 1/15/09 23:47pm]

Too early to call. It could go either way. Hopefully it's more "Sex" than "Sexy Back". Not so fussed on the autotune, but I figure that's just something I'm going to have to get used to.

"All This Love" sounds good ... but again... that autotune

might be the song with Q-Tip.. i hear a sample of his voice at the very beginning.

Did u click on the ticket?

i like these recycled sounds. i am like an addict to them and i need moooore!

yeah.. had a price on it!

I hope this song is legit.. cause them drums sound good

So now the site has previews of:

Chocolate Box

All This Love - Bria

A Colonized Mind then comes up, but does not currently play. UPDATE it seems to be working now.

Yeah i noticed that.. That was the one I wanted to hear the most..

I am really diggin' "Chocolate Box". Great song from what I can hear of the

sample. Cannot wait to hear the whole thing. Like it better than

(There'll Never Be) Another Like Me.

I think it's in a better direction than that Another Like Me.. lots of energy in that small clip

Can't argue with you. Definately lots of energy. Had my toes tapping.

Always a good sign!

Yo, It aint auto tune on her its a vocal "effect" similar to the effect on Chocolate box. P likes to use vocal effects. Yall know whats up.

Tight music on both a these, specially "all this love" Drums and bass is bangin!! Chocolate box is funkay but way too short, come on Man!!! More please.

Yeah, I know that - at least he uses it as an effect and not to hide bad singing. It's just a bit overused I think. But hey, I'm still digging it.

There is a place to sign up on the ticket, just in case u missed it.

I dunno. It has potential, but it sounds more plastic than Prince music really should. I'll have to wait for the full song before passing final judgement.

Naw man theres a difference between auto tune sound and effects. Auto tune you can barely notice, listen to britney and JLO records. Effects got a flange and verb to it that is obvious to our ears.

If I was your girlfriend, effect pushed extra hard, nother example.

lol.. are you serious?

There is no doubt in my mind he is using auto tune on Chocolate Box.

wunderlandmine said:

No. "IIWYG" uses a sped up analogue tape.

Autotune is a digital effect, it just depends on how precise or subtle you want to make it. Like I said, it's good that he uses it as an effect, but it's not something that I particularly like (maybe I'll learn to like it?). Shit like Britney that tries to hide the fact they're using it is worse, of course... But it's the same effect, only with different degrees of digitised tuning.

But anyway, let's not go too far off topic here...

I think I know what you're saying. Sounds a little plastic. But it does

sound experimental and is very catchy. I'm still lovin' it.

I'm hoping the song takes a few corners and surprises us.

I also hope he continues to only put up samples of songs till the release.. I just think it is better that way.

Better in the long run, yeah, but at the moment, it's just such a tease

CB is definately not a minimalistic track to say the least.

So many different sounds in that snippet. I think it's great.

Have to say that I love the minimalistic tracks more and hope there are some

of those on the album. No indication of that from the two preview tracks or

from how MPLSound has been described thus far.

I really like the sound of Chocolate Box so far. Can't wait to hear more.

Yup Prince like to tease some folks I think chocolate box is part of the mplsound record. Plastic, yeah you right. Better than TBALM but that aint sayin much. Same kinda rap "got a box a chocolate that will knock the socks off any girl that wanna look my way". Who gon say that to a chick, "im gonna knock your socks off" Pass the pop CORN.

All this love got that live band feel im really diggin, he wrote some nice ones so far for her! Again, its way too short!
MORE MORE MORE Lotus flower

Is anyone got Colonized Mind working?

Yo i noticed that too. Maybe they still updatin the site. I hope they put that joint back up on there. Thats the jam.
