Its perfect..bare bones. Enough of the production fluff in the music and the presentation. "Climb in my fur." | |

well, w havent had to worry about good presentation in quite some time...lol. Having said that RnR has a nice feel to it...kinda dusty, gypsy like, shabby chic if u will. | |

It's a great track, I got into it fairly quickly, a lot sooner than RnR Love Affair. I love when Prince rocks out. Plus the innuendo of the chorus is just priceless | |

I do too. The lyrics are corny and the music is plain. Honestly, I can't remember a more uninspired song from him. | |

Well they didn't.
"'Screwdriver' appears to have been recorded with his new backing band, and leads and leads fans to a new website 20pr1nc3.com, which at the moment only features 'Screwdriver' and a-minute long video of Prince in concert.
Prince is scheduled to perform at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas in May.
The pop icon, who reached number one with hit song 'Purple Rain' in 1984, has been relatively quiet since his last album 20TEN was released in 2010.
The album was distributed for free with the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror in the UK, and he avoided digital sites like ITunes.
When it was released in the US the album debuted at number two on the Billboard Chart."
That's just terrible writing. Although it did help connect the dots for me regarding the Billboard Music Awards. I hope he's got another new song to promote by then, because I don't really want a performance of Screwdriver. | |

LA TIMES http://touch.latimes.com/...-74140654/ Add Prince to the growing group of veteran artists releasing new songs seemingly out of nowhere. Like David Bowie and Justin Timberlake before him, the Purple One sprang a new tune -- in this case, a tight little fuzz-rock delight titled "Screwdriver" -- on unsuspecting fans this week, and Pop & Hiss is pleased to report that it's definitely worth your bandwidth. (Watch a lyric video for the tune below.) Prince appears to have recorded the tune with his new backing band, which may or may not be called 3rdEyeGirl. That's the name attached to recently established Twitter and YouTube accounts distributing various bits of Prince ephemera, including concert clips and a mushy jam-like situation known as "Chapter & Verse." And in Billboard's current cover story on the musician (who's scheduled to perform at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 19), writer Gail Mitchell describes watching Prince rehearse with a female trio: guitarist Donna Grantis, bassist Ida Nielsen and drummer Hannah Ford Welton. Beyond reminding us that Prince can still work up a sweat, "Screwdriver" seems designed to attract fans to a new website, 20pr1nc3.com. So far, it features only the "Screwdriver" lyric video, a minute-long clip from what seems to be a forthcoming concert film and music by Prince's latest protégé, Andy Allo. (Her tune "People Pleaser" kind of rules, FYI.) But if that doesn't seem like much, consider that Prince has historically had as little as possible to do with the Internet. Perhaps the new site portends a busy 2013. Who knows what other surprises he might have in store? The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

I actually haven't listen that much 2 Screwdriver, I liked it a bit at first and the rehearsal version sounded promising but I actually don't like the studio version that much. The first half screwdriver sound's good hen he mess it up and the lyrics are really bad. RnR affair is much better and enjoyable in my opinion. Welcome 2 The Dawn | |

Prince Mixes One Killer Screwdriver! http://perezhilton.com/20...QKYTVy9K0c Prince may not be with The Revolution anymore, but he is in the middle of a renaissance! The legendary Purple Rain singer has been nothing but perfect over the past couple years, and his new track is proof positive! Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to hear Screwdriver and prepare to be pleased! The energy, the seksiness, the rhythm- tell us this song wasn't created by Prince traveling back in time to have a jam session with young Prince! Wait, Two Princes? That can't be right… The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Thanks for sharing Serpan
These cryptic posts by the old doc are tired and boring. The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

why is everyone so negative about the old doc? sure his posts are cryptic, but prince has always kept his news cryptic. that's nothing the doc makes up on his own. at least he's posting news. right?

On my 50th listen and i like it more and more and more everytime I hear it....
At first I couldn't help but feel it lacked substance, a bit like the COMMON PERCEPTION of chaos and disorder tracks, but like them I like this...
Got a great groove to it and can imagine this song is going to kick absolute arse live....
so um Prince....when you're ready *COUGH* UK

I was not sure about this track first. But it has grown on me big time. I love it now. Especially the clearer version heard on the radio that is much better than the on P's website. There is something I find irresistible about it now. | |

it keeps getting better for me with repeated listening yet i do find myself wishing for that Fox9 guitarsolo everytime.
that solo would lift the song a lot higher imo

I actually do think this could be a hit, but he needs to create some momentum soon... | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Momentum! This song has been put on every major website this week. say he is on his way to a major hit...His new manager with Prince's guidance is on it..... will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

What I mean is he needs to put it up for sale (itunes) and play it live in some big show. It may be on every major website, but I bet that the majority of the people who don't visit this website don't know about it... | |
