Interesting. Downloading the Flac files right now - before Prince serves papers.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I really dig the cover, but there's hardly anything interesting on the rest of the album.

"I Would Die 4 U" is a hard song to cover, but the arrangement here works nicely enough. The chorus could have been sung with a little bit more emotion though.

This Raheem must really like Prince, ´cause he´s also covered "Kiss" and "Adore" live.....

Anyone remember Space Cowboy's cover a few years ago? It's kind of a techno version. I think the arrangement is good, and should have had Prince's vocals over it. It would make for a great updated remix. Not the BEST remake of a Prince song, but it trumps a LOT of others, including that horrible album with Rebecca Romijn Stamos cover of "Darling Nikki" (Party O' The Times).

this is something Prince would dig. Sounds like they at the home studio or the garage just bangin' it out in between weed breaks! some covers are just pure shit but this is cool.

I remember it...would have been a UK number 1 but there was a mix up with some chart regulations. I thought it was SHIT. Prince song is a Prince song.

I think it sounds like how Prince would probably perform it today as far as the music.
