I'm not trying to give you a hard time here, but you didn't get my point and clearly don't understand what I was saying.

All those different Prince voices, where he is doing multi-part harmonizing with himself are multiple tracks. He sang each of them. Then there's the parts where he's doing call and response with himself, like vocal counterpoint, which is also multi-tracked. Getting all of that right, so that it sounds that good, takes an enormous amount of time and talent.

Regarding the drums, are you serious? It sounds like a Prince drum track. He's been doing drum tracks like that since the late SEVENTIES!

After all these years of doing this I don't think it takes him that much of time. It's a matter of routine, if there's a melody to begin with.

BTW: Never ever liked his over the top wall of voices (e.g. Thunder or 7). Voices of different persons always sound much better and more alive.

Not the side of Prince that I'm really into, but I suppose it's not bad for what it is.

Could it be from an earlier era though? The drum sounds and the crude pitch shift effect suggests 05-06(?).

No, that would not be a very classy drawing.

And btw he's having breakfast with George the Cat, not with a nasty puss....

You know, George doesn't roll like that.

oooh, a quickie. she gotta go to work. the "actual" breakfast convo. i'm sure she's great, princey. need some scrambled eggs in my life right about now (not a double entendre). why he gotta be black all the time? organs are universal. ok, it's a nice song.

Looks to me like the dog is trying to get some.

And Prince should never be seen obscurely hanging about a table with short legs.

Didn't like it all the much at first but now I love it. It grew on me. The voice at the end still sucks, but upon listening to it a few times Ive come to ignore it.

I love it when he multi tracks his voice.

Me too...He is a master @ doing it...No one else does it as well. Besides Chaka(who inspired him to do it) & D'angelo(who Prince inspired to do it)

The more I listen to it, the more I enjoy it. I even got accustomed to the final chipmunk entry, even if it still sounds too much like one of my kids coming in my room in the wrong moment...

Still this tought makes my laugh every time I listen to it silly me

Amazing track, straight up r&b classic. He sounds hot on it to.

I love it. Makes me happy!

so if this is a 'recent' song of his does this means Prince is married?

Dr. Funkenberry had photos of him

and this individual in a private moment on the beach, who is she?

It seems like that was brushed under the rug unless it was just part of 'the game'.

Who is it that Prince wants soul food instead???

Does it matter anymore in Prince's world?

Actions speaks louder than words........

remember Dr. FnB saying that!!!! mayb in luv now!!!!!

One of the most gifted musicians to ever walk the planet, releases another by-the-numbers, uninspired track.

Not digging this Prince at all, although I respect his talent.

This human being has the ability to conjure so many tones, sounds, rhythms...like no one else that I've seen. And yet, he chooses, yet again, to latch onto young female pop musicians. Which is fine.

I almost fel guilty.who am I to judge someone elses art? If I and others don't like his recent output, we are free to make our own music, or find other music to listen too, right? Right!

I display my 'disapointment', only because somehow I've made Prince 'the musical standard' that I judge all others by...musically, vocally, and otherwise. And when I hear another set of releases with mediocre cuts like RNR Affair, Screwdriver, and now BCW, I shake my head, and think to myself, "the competition has caught and surpassed my favorite artist."

I will never totally give up on Prince. I would be happy if he only made solo albums for the rest of his career....my favorites seem to be the cuts where personal struggle, insight, and revelation intertwine to produce a sonic treat: 'The Holy River' is the 1st song that comes to mind, in that vein.

Thanks for reading....end of rant!

Fair enough. It's a well-spoken, fair rant at least.

I hear you and know what you mean. It's just that I'm not too strict with Prince (yet), maybe because I didn't grow up with him being in his "prime". Sure, of course I agree that most of his 80s output has far superior quality in song-writing, more interesting production, more daring imagery and quirkiness, better lyrics etc etc, but I like the newer stuff too. I may not listen to it as often as I listen to Parade or TGE, but I'm still happy he's dropping new tunes.

I remember when the Gold Experience was the new kid in town...

Loved "Breakfast Can Wait"!

I like this.

love it. only prince could make a helium voice seem sexy

sounds like something that was done during the -High- album era. not a big fan of this.

though the bass line is smackin'. But it might grow on me.
