I dig this.

God damn ya'll.

He released it.

Of course it's not gonna sound identical to the original.

But he fucking released it.

It's still Extra Loveable.

It's NOT Extra Loveable it is something else

Please. How is it not Extra Loveable?

Maybe he should release a new version of "Old Friends 4 Sale," restoring the original lyrics and adding several additional verses to refer to other people who have (in his mind) betrayed him over the years. He could work Kevin Smith in there, for example, or talk about the 3121 perfume lawsuit.

It's just a totally different song with the same title

I like the 'remix' of In A Large Room With No Light, musically by it's just not the same song either

let that song inspire u and then take the music you want to Remix it as and make new lyrics

Haha!!!

Well Damn...lol

Ok, so I finally heard to full version and WOW! Wow for many reasons, but this sounds like something that did not make it to (20Ten) or even Planet Earth...lol

It can not be compared to the original because that is just timeless. Can't be touched by any effort. I appreciate Prince stepping out to visit his vault though, and while some would argue that he would do better leaving his vault material alone as it comes to remaking songs, this was not bad at all. Definitively something can make me dance, and groove. BUT

THE RAP....

It really reminded me of when Eve rapped on 'Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic' the remix of 'TGRES'. She sounds exactly like her, (the groove and rap does anyways.) I did not mind the rap, cause Andy's voice is sexy. Haha, and it would have been HORRIBLE if Prince did the rap himself like he did in Sticky Like Glue. But this was not bad at all. I dig it, although I wish he went into a SOARING guitar solo at the end, he would have sealed it with that!

I am prety happy he at least released this, it promises more music soon..Well to me. At the end it seemed as if it would fade into another song. Like he normally does, I am sure Andy will be on his new album! No doubt about that! Haha, this was above average but nothing extraordinary for me. It really does not need to be, I still have the original to jam to! Haha

BUT it was not THE WORST. I don't think he should feel embarrassed or bad. (Well a little, because he did not release it in the States..AGAIN! But I got my hands on it anyways...lol) When he chooses to release music just somewhere and not everywhere, all he is doing is promoting another way to get it. AND I sure as hell will go that way to listen to it...So thank you! LOL)

Seeing as I have formed a close relationship with the bootlegg and the rawness and passion the first one brought, this could not even match it. I don't think it suppose to! I mean we have the original one, so if anyone is not happy with this, just check out the original one. I think he did this to make the song sound more 'current' if you will? It's Prince he does stuff like this all the time...Like with 'In A Large Room With No Light' that was just great! It worked because that song was never really 'funky' to begin with but a fusion of Stevie Wonder, Prince, and the Revolution. IMO 'Extralovable' is originally funky, and when you remake a 'funky' song you better believe it should be RAW or even more off the edge as the original one, UNLESS you just want it to go with the flow. Haha..IDK?

SO FINALLY: This was not bad at all, the only major criticism and review is the RAP! Damn, listening to it now, made me just SMH. It's actually not that bad because her voice goes with it and I said her voice is sexy. It just sounds VERY happy, like a energy song you can jam at the gym, and not as raw and off the edge. But It's a groove!

Hahahhaah That was hilarious! haha

Just heard the full version!

Enough of this remake crap.....it can't compare...it's just dreadful...

I get the feeling some on here have never heard the original...to me this is butchery!!!

All we want is Crystal Ball II and to see Prince live....simple

Oh and a new album influenced by Fdeluxe and The Original 7.....they have set a new benchmark and would love to see Prince release something even as half as funky right now.....

I like it.

Love the synths, would have liked a guitar solo and the rap could go but on the whole it's good.

The original is one of the grea lost Prince songs and I did expect a remake to come close.

Those saying it isn't Extra loveable are just idiots, It has the same melody most of the lyrics are the same, it's a remake and it's cool.

great to have some new music at long last.

Whats up with calling people idiots, thats unnecessary it's got a groove of it's own, every song does. I thought it would come close to, consider it Extraloveable 2.0 .

Don't know how I feel about this..............

I was never that big a fan of the original (the rape part was just too much), and first couple listenings I was not all that impressed with this one, but its seriously growing on me. Gotta give it a chance y'all.

I'm going to put one of my favorite songs up here to you happy feelings Jericurl

I'm posting this much because I woke up way earlier than usual and im bored

It would be fun to listen to once.

I just noticed this... is he singing ''hell yeah'' in the beginning?

I like the new prince version but I prefer this cover.

hurry up orgers and start bitchin and moanin about it.

me?

i love it.

Of course you do.

Me, I don't hate it... but it's lacking energy and I really hate that he got rid of the awesome guitar AND some of the best lyrics of the song. Sorry, but the crap he replaced them with is just boring. Was shocked about the "dancing naked part" though.
