I always used to skip this song, but now I love it. I think it's one of prince's best, honestly.

I'm not crazy about 3121 but I love this song. Anyone else like this song?


...

one of my favorite prince songs but to me he should have just gave it to Tamar her voice was more fitting for the song to me

I LOATHE that song.

it's alright. nothing special. but it's a pleasant enough entry into the I'm-going-to-do-a-contemporary-r&b-ballad section of his catalog.

i like the short version

Love it. But Tamar never plays it. I'm going to ask her why next time I see her.

tamar still sings?

I've loved this song since first listening...welcome aboard!

I love it, nice lyrics and I love her voice...so strong

Anyone remember That Peter Kay Thing where one half of Coffee & Cream end up singing 'Don't go Breaking Me Heart' on their own? I've tried to find a vid of it to post, but it's elluding me.

I think that woule perfectly answer why Tamar doesn't sing the song anymore

Could have been netter if Prince did it alone. Prince has several better tunes though

Yes.

CRAP song - in the same genre as Wedding Feast + Purple & Gold:

terrible music.

Hi Zaza, do you really like this song..??

Brofie said:

I think you're right; the song would still have been UTTER SHIT, but it may have not made my ears bleed with Prince alone on the track.

That song gave me a cavity.

This is actually one of the few songs on 3121 I liked at the time.

NouveauDance said:

we all make mistakes hehe

actually I don't mind the song the song... Not great but ok

NouveauDance said:

same. it's catchy at least. and that soul-sucking overproduction doesn't harm it as much as the rest.

Really? It's really sappy and annoying to me. I'm a sucker for 3121, but that's the album's weak link. The overall sound seems pretty forced and the music is cheery and cornball enough to make Lovesexy cringe.

RodeoSchro said:

I've "heard" or it has been "discussed" that FURY was about Tamar.

& I love the song too (B,L & B) ...

I totally dig this song. The vocals are very nice and I love the drumwork. It's a wonderful song.

How can Fury be about Tamar when she was still part of the act several months after the song was released?

Genesia said:

as I said G, I had "heard" it was about her or was it Manuela?

thedance said:

Hey, thedance It's not that bad as Wedding Feast. It's just a normal modern R&B song, 3121 is not my favourite album, but this song is catchy. Not great, but not bad either I'd rate it 7/10.

But I prefer live version of that song he performed on SNL.

i don't like the song.

Alguy said:

Agreed 10000%. It should have been left for her album. Really had no place on 3121 but he was doing her a favor I guess...

Live I actually kinda got into it. Kinda like the live version of Lovesign he did on the Today Show... When he plays these R&B songs live they take on a more enjoyable quality to me, but otherwise I wouldn't play these more than once a year (or 2 years).
