I think Prince righting skills have become rusty

You KNOW you think that when it's some hot dude sitting across from you. While he's eating his steak you wonder what his tube steak is like and how long do you have to work before you get the gravy.

i forgot about Future Baby Mama, thats my fave from Planet Earth.

great tune!

I think Here is one of the best tunes on either album.

NDRU said:

it feels the most genuine. had to warm up to the bopyness of the tune itself but it's the most sincere to me

NDRU said:

Absolutely. That song is amazing.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Not only are the lyrics decent, but it has a nice melody, and most of all it has that Prince sound. It feels like a minor step forward in the canon. Not When Doves Cry, but it's new Prince, singing a song that is not about "where the party's at" or preachy or a by the numbers love song.

Cue up "I love U but I dont trust you anymore" and tell me that is not heartfelt

Somewhere Here On Earth and Here also sound very "real" to me.

the one

these are some AWESOME, heartfelt ballads. i think 3121, musicology, and this new set are sorely lacking that emotion. therein lies the problem (imo) with most of this decade's work: lack of feeling, ballad or otherwise is the big problem.

a CLASSIC PERFECT POP SONG IS ALWAYS GREAT. 4EVER IS ONE OF THE BEST

Remember "Someone is watching you" with 1 good eye.

Personally I'm not a fan of the slow jams on MPLSound, but my friend finds them her favorite tracks. She's been listening to them over and over. That's the beauty of P's music. He's so diverse...there's generally something there for everyone. Drives me crazy when someone write Prince off with a simple, "I don't like Prince." My response is generally "Which Prince?".

I appreciate your opinion, although Bah Humbug comes to mind.

Well i disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion. Musicology had some good songs, especially Reflection. But Prince is an artist and can write many styles of music, I think he has plenty of heartfelt ballads as of lately. but it depends on your view of "heart felt". He can't please everyone, so i guess it looks like NO MORE CANDY FOR U son. LOL

I disagree. I don't know if you can consider Here a ballad but it's definitely emotionally felt. Also, as someone else stated, Reflection.

S.H.O.E. was a great ballad.

i'm not sure this thread was intended as an argument.

There's your problem right there.

Whereas "Condition of the Heart" ISN'T a sweet song.

many of prince's greatest songs are really fucked up.

I love 'U're Gonna C Me.' Which is not a new track.
