All recorded on the same day it seems. They all have a similar vibe and sound and you can tell Prince was just in a certain mood that day... also all featuring Tamar and Bria Valente as background vocalists.


Anyone agree?

I'd be surprised all of them were recorded in ONE day, they are so carefully

crafted that I don't think it could happenthat fast, they do have a similar

vibe, I only heard the Morning After once, I kinda forgot what it was like,

I love the Lion of Judah and All the Midnights, I Love Planet Earth too

Of the three, The Morning After is the only one I like.

I love all of them, The Morning After definitely is the best.


Although Lion Of Judah was played more often since Lotusflow3r came out!

How can u not like Lion of Judah? the guitar playing is amazing! So Tamar sings on the Planet Earth album too? i havent heard her. I hear The Twinz and Wendy&Lisa.

Lion of Judah is a fantastic little song love the guitar in it, my fave off that album.

funny that. but i don't care too much for "the morning after"
yet "lion of judah" and "all the midnights in the world" are
my two favorit songs on the planet earth album.



they do sound similar, yes. and it wouldn't surprise me one
bit if they came from the same recording sessions. someone
said they doubt it since the songs seem so well crafted, it
would be hard to do in one day.

but don't forget that with people like michael b and sonny t,
prince just lets the tape roll and they jam on basic ideas or
create a dozen or so funky rhythm tracks which prince later
fleshes out.

the whole 3121/planet earth/lotusflower era stems from a few
monster sessions imo. and all those tracks are top notch. in
addition he's put other songs on them to make them a bit of
everything and it's those songs that fail most often imo.

stuff like "mr goodnight" or "incense and candles" etc. i'd
love love love to hear what else was recorded during those
michael b/sonny t sessions.

A good point about Micheal B and Sonny T, but I'm fairly sure they aren't on any of the tracks being discussed here.

Please, share some more of your insights!

I like these songs, I've never heard, "Morning After," I could never tell if the songs were recorded in the same day or not.

I agree, he must of cut Judah and Midnights first and then decided to do the morning after as an afterthought
