Yep--you two just get into a studio where you're all mic'ed up nice, and set your instruments up right, and get this thing all polished up.

Seriously, this needs to be recorded right and finished quickly and it needs to be simple (PLEASE--SIMPLE!!).

Otherwise, I'll keep listening to it cuz it's pretty and I just know it could be beautiful (even though the way it sounds right now is sort of painful).

I really hope there's a finished version coming soon--and that it's not somehow messed up when it comes.

Sweet. Thanks.

I know it's all been free, BUT, why the hell can't all this stuff be in one place?!?

It's ridiculous the lengths one must go through to get to it all.

Thankfully we have the org, the one place to hear about all of it...

This version irritates me. It's not bad, not at all, I like it.

But I have already listened at the full blown, raw and extremely cocky live version he's doing for quite some time now, for example at the Sziget Festival in Hungary 2011.

This is one of my favorites from the last years, and now it comes with a totally different arrangement that gives the song a total new vibe.

This isn't a bad thing, just irritating. I'll probably get used to it.

How many melodies does he have in him? Each is unique in its own way, and yet indelibly Prince. Thank you again and again and again and again and again and again

Loving this actually!

I love when Prince lays his vocals in this fashion! It's purely lovely! Prince is just doing his thing here, and Andy sounds wonderful too! I love when music is like this, it carries such a timeless flow to it! smile

I'm a bit underwhelmed. It may be a bit too sweet or too monotonous for me. Maybe a crisp studio version would change my mind. Out of all the "new" songs I've heard, I probably like "Screwdriver" the most.

I am pleasantly surprised both in terms of his vocal delivery and how well Prince and Andy blend together on this track. I've long missed Prince doing a track in an effortless falsetto like on his first albums... On the couple of last records he mostly avoided his higher register. U Will B works very nicely, and it does have some similarities to MJ's material without sounding like a rip off.

What a really pretty melody! Very beautiful indeed.

Took me a couple of listens as the new tune threw me for the lyrics. I still can't make some of them out at all. Has anyone worked out the lyrics cuz there seems to be a new verse added? Or am I just totally deef? lol

Really geat stuff Andy, thanks! Keep sharing please biggrin

Exactly what I thought! Hearing this song after his recent new ones (RNR Affair, Screwdriver) shows once again how incredibly versatile Prince is - both as a songwriter and singer. Someone who does not know him would never ever believe those three songs are by the same artist. His voice is just ... wow. Can't find the words to express how in awe I am once again with our purple genius.

Regarding lyrics, I can only say that these lines really touch me:

Andy: "The world keeps calling, what can I do ... they want what they want (?), Baby I want u" ..

Prince: "I know they claim u, but I do too .... maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow, one day this will be true ..." heart

What a beautiful love song. For me up there with the best of his ballads. Touched me at first listen. An instant favorite for me! And - I don't think I have ever heard Prince in a ballad duet before ... I mean, other than live on stage. His and Andy's voice harmonize perfectly. It can't be any better!!

^^^ same for me. At first I really thought it was a black female voice. Never had a problem recognizing Prince's voice before, but this one threw me off! He sounds so perfectly clear and ... angel-like. Especially when they sing together ... his voice is just incredible!!! I really can't find the words to describe it.

This is the first Prince song I have heard in a long time that I have loved from the very first listen. I hope it makes it on to an album and I hope that when it does it's not overly produced. No need for a guitar solo on this one.

I really cant make anything of this song maybe my equipment(ears or media) are not up to it. Very thankful for these releases and when finally Prince gets around to finishing this and providing lossless digital download for purchase on the website it will probably scrub up pretty well.

I'm in no hurry, we've had some much shared for free in the last month.

Whether it's days, weeks, months till the site is finally up, is pretty minor in the context that there has been no online presence for quite a long period.

Hopefully the new site will take care of that.... I like many don't have the time to follow all this, but there are 4 or 5 aggregators of repute(...and I doubt that someone who has 1642 posts on the org doesnt know what I'm talking about innocent ) that have been doing this for years, putting all this material in one place on alternate media in case those cease and desist letters start up again. Occasionally the odd item that has fallen off the back of a truck also makes it's way there foodnow

Definatly not recorded off the desk

This might imply that the recording is unauthorized.

That means that on this site you cannot post any reference to such materials.

At least, that is the vagueness they pushed onto us.

Thanks for all the suggestions the lyrics make more sense now!!

Lyrics?

I know they love u,
I think thats cool..
Doing time in the back of the line
I dont mind playing the fool... (no)
Stay in touch forever,
They heard me pray (yes they did)
We will b together, Angel told me today..
What u say?

U Will B, U Will B, U Will B With Me...

Hear me talking
What can u do?
Many men wanna walk without gettin pair of courtin shoes.
U cant b new to this,
(no)
But u know im smart
(too smart)
A wish is just a wish, unless its a work of art.


U Will B, U Will B, U Will B With Me...

Taste of u with someone else
Chocolate cake with no milk
U and I in a brand new bed, purple sheets of silk
Coming close together, just like the sun and moon
Ur star is rising (u know what) mine will b to
Say with me now


U Will B, U Will B, U Will B With Me...

U know its cool u
(theres no time)
And no doubt its true
(oh ooh oh ooh)
A thousands books couldnt teach the [thayangs(things)] that i wana do with u

Ur right I aint new to this (no)
I know ur smart
(way to smart)
Got to find the perfect bliss?
I know my life is ready baby for...


U Will B, U Will B, U Will B With Me...

The world keeps calling
(i know i know)
What can i do... ?
They want what they want,
But baby baby i want u
I know they claim u, but I do too...
Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow,
One day this will b true..

U Will B, U Will B, U Will B With Me...
(Dont believe it say it again)
U Will B, U Will B, U Will B With Me...
(Sho Nuff Sho Nuff)

But yes, you are very right.

(unless there's materials that were not really fully authorised to be leaked... in those cases I do like the nonstandard outlets)

Poor quality?

Can't you discern that the song is played on a HiFi system but recorded in a largish room with perhaps a handheld type device with internal mics?

In the old days bootleggars added cassette generations when leaking songs so that later they could release better sounding versions.

And now you complain when there's just a bit of air between the master of that demo and your mp4 file.

Beautiful.

Prince's opening vocals are particularly stunning.

Would like to see this fully produced and getting a proper release. It would be much deserved.

Yes, Prince's vocals here are truly breathtaking. The wider-public needs to hear him singing like this, and we need a copy in high quality.

I hope the vocals don't lose any of their quality in post-production though. They are far too pure and beautiful to be stifled or over-layered.
