After listening to the song numerous times....taking in the adoration that Prince and Bria have 4 each other(Tavis's interview confirmed this), imo this song was written 4 Bria long time ago...she was 17 when she met Prince...I do think Prince met her first...afterall he has known Morris Hayes 4 a long time...which means?

Which means she was young when she met Prince. The end.

ernestsewell said:

yes she was young...however u don't get the point....listen 2 her entire cd...fast forward 2 their interview with tavis.

I'm quoting myself

You know Prince likes them young. Mayte was 16. Anna (Garcia) Fantastic was 16 and Bria was 17. Apparently Tamar was young too. Supposedly he waits until they're 18 before he does the Nasty.

Neither. Just because they recorded it doesn't mean Prince wrote it for one of them.

he already recorded that duet with tamar called "on your own"
way back in 1993.

but there's a difference between "knowing" and "knowing". he
was married twice in the meantime and dated various women as
the years went by.

he might have walked into the both of them a long time ago
but he didn't get to know them until he started working with
them.

in that respect he's "known" tamar the longest i guess.

4bjb said:

Then what's the point?

The thing with that is, that Bria is only 22...so they've only known eachother 5 years.

this is my least favorite track on elixer. I always skip this one. just not feelin it i guess.

So what has happened to the Tamar album.... is it never going to see the light?

pplrain said:

It was released, however not under "Milk and Honey"...let's just say that it was released under another "Prince" compilation.....12 tracks.

pplrain said:

Released as a bootleg... which is a shame - it's actually good! Tamar is a very skilled singer. I would love to hear more of what kind of music she has to offer, beyond a Prince collaboration/influence...

geo4you said:

might as well accept the fact, tamar is finished...her album never was released and her music does not have adequate backing.

4bjb said:

she had a listening party for her new album (some tracks are on her myspace)
just a week ago or something. iirc this album is certain to be released, and
it has no prince involvement.

IstenSzek said:

who's backing her/ what label is she with? she won't get far.

4bjb said:

Define 'far' - Singing for Prince and sharing stage with him is taking it pretty far in my opinion. If I was ever to reach that level as a professional singer, I would have accomplished A LOT!

geo4you said:

let the cd be the judge....maybe half a star?

Jamzone333 said:

Yeah I quite liked Tamars vocals on 3121..its a shame really..infact i didnt even know she had an album and i hope people dont get offened by my next comment...but ofcourse Tamr can sing better shes black...and they got Soul! and we white folks cannot buy that! ...oh wish i could sing like that

The vocalist he needs for a song is under his nose. That's Liv Warfield. I hope he works with her more she is incredible. Tamar and Bria are both good artist and they have there own style but listening to her album and watching her perform she's a quiet storm.

No offense taken. Us black folk can also play the bass better (stereotype). But... ummm.... Isn't Bria black? What the hell is she? Butterscotch?

Liz is from my hometown. A friend of mine does jazz gigs with her from time to time - what a talent!

Amen...Some of us just wanted to be roadies.

Some of us wanted to be groupies and suck off the band


so to speak

Meh....while Tamar is a good singer..I think her vocals are too high for Prince's mood music. She sings higher than beyonce....while I did like Redhead Stepchild and Milk & Honey and 2 more songs..the album was bland Im sorry. Bria's album is much more romantic and indulgind. I feel like I'm on a beach or a sandy beach at night when i hear her album. I think Bria's voice fitted perfectly with the album Prince indeed wanted to make.

The lyrics of this song always baffles me.... I can't imagine singing them .... whatever dude...
