Prince's vocals on Elephants & Flowers

Have you ever heard Prince sing like this besides Elephants and Flowers? It is seemingly a different vocal delivery than usual.

Yea I noticed that when I heard it for the 1st time. Kinda scratchy, and a bit rough. The closest Ive heard to that sound is on Dreamer, towards the end.

Yeah, that's his "rock" voice. Elephants and Flowers does sound a bit more restrained version of it though.

The original demo version about "Coco" is even better vocally.

I've heard about an alternate version of "Elephants and Flowers". Is that what you're talking about? Is it just the lyrics that are different mainly?

Lion of Judah,maybe? His voice sounded a bit raspy there, too,but in a good way.
I like that song but the lyrics are not my cup of tea. Elephants and Flowers is better in the lyrics department.

His "Morris" voice sometimes approaches this, like in "Take this Beat"

That has never been one of my favorite songs, and that get up in GB was awful.

It's Michael Jackson-ish. I love the song and his vocal delivery.

Interesting. I never knew there was another version to this song but found the lyrics. Quite different.
