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.


On Your Own is a great outtake. I've always liked it. So Tamar is Ashley Davis? Didn't know that.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

The "Milk and Honey" CD is good. I just feel disappointed in Prince. I mean, yeah, he gave her a shot, but he should have released Tamar's CD and not just "allow" the music to be released via a boot. I'm praying that he doesn't diss Shelby like Tamar. Nothing against Bria, but Tamar's vocals are stronger and if the full truth be told, Shelby can blow both Tamar and Bria's vocals out of the water. Sorry, but Prince played favorites with Bria over Tamar and Shelby and I am pissed to the height of pissivity with this move. Elixer is good, but Milk and Honey is a little bit better. Nuff said. mad



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.


i agree. Prince made it quite clear on the tavis show that Bria's voice/music soothes him...i think this is the direction he is going with his music today...a quiet storm "romantic feel" ...Prince feels that...he wants something we are not hearing today. The soulful sound is everyday all day i.e shelby and tamar.

The melody of this song reminds me of the Neil Young penned "Lotta Love",made popular by Nicolette Larson in 1978.

Tamar got co-writing credits for the song (if memory serves me right), so the song was written WITH Tamar.

What about Incense and Candles? Tamar and Prince's vocals were just like Elixer. However, in Elixer, Prince matched his vocals with Bria's vocals to build a foundation in the song. He didn't have to do that with Tamar.
