"Compassion" reminds me of "Cybersingle" - Uptempo songs with very little substance

I guess Prince was trying hard to succeed with an uptempo song as opener for 20Ten:



"Compassion".

But this song is a fail, like "Cybersingle" with very little substance.

Don't you agree.. question

IF you like "Compassion" please tell me why.. wink

Compassion is great. Cybersingle needs to grow on me.

They don't remind me of one another.

A lot of Prince's newer songs are nice for the first few seconds, but quickly fall apart because they have no substance and are boring. Whenever I hear a new Prince song, I can't help but think of 80's Prince and turn it off.

Maybe a little harsh, but yeah, both of them are definitely the bottom of the barrel for me.

So, the reason why those songs remind you of each other is because they are both relatively fast and suck.

Okay.

"Compassion" is a throwback to a 70's musical style to my ears, with the token claps thrown in to appease "Prince" fans. I actually like it a lot. That song melody and pace would not be out of place in a musical like "Hair" or even something crazier like "Rocky Horror -"

Compassion is great, far better than cybersingle.

I'm still loving 20ten.

I think Compassion is a very good song. It's catchy, it has meaningful lyrics and the music is good throughout the song but especially towards the end.

I like Cybersingle too but definitely prefer Compassion.
