Jesus , so many people moaning, I dont know why you are on here

I will buy it on iTunes

At last Prince is doing something properly with some structure

yes i will buy it aswell. even thought i have an audio rip of it.

prince has a very fickle fanbase. but it's not them he needs to connect with.

I think structure is the problem. The more off-the-cuff he is, the better he is. He's best at long, rambling songs with unique instrumentation. He labors over his new material too much, making sure it's squeaky clean and overloaded with effects. I think it's because he's trying to make it back on radio and it's backfiring.

That's why his live albums and shows are so good, they don't sound confined by anything. He's still a musical genius, he just doesn't seem to want to be anymore, he just wants to be a pop singer.

--------- Co-sign the bitching is unreal. He needs to put some of this material on I-Tunes. The masses download their music from I-Tunes. Prince needs exposure and not from the 2,000 people on this board but everyone on this site claims to be a marketing genius.

I cant see why he cant release whatever he wants through the normal distributors

When I said structure I meant wih regards to exposure and not his actual tunes

Can someone please put that song on tumbler. I mean I think that's the only place Sexyman hasn't attacked yet. And that's how i found out about Breakfast can wait. I that song.

While I like this song, I can't stand the artwork for the song

I much prefer the art I made on photoshop

Now it's (apparently) delayed for released on iTunes. Typical. Any "announcements" made from a fan's website (who for some reason believe they have exclusivity) that don't come straight from P's mouth are as good as hearing it from a Unicorn you'd see running around in Atlantis!! It's like seeing Bigfoot chasing the Chupacabra! Doesn't exist...

The problem ain't with iTunes. Its with this awful track.

Purple people - why can't fans give an assessment (good or bad) without some folk either being accusing them of taking the "purple kool aid" or being labelled as negative and only interested if prince can recapture When Doves Cry or IIWYG ? I've been enjoying the recent tracks, with the exception of LOL, but this track is just a total mess ! It starts well with an interesting trippy vibe and cool vocals but at the 1 minute mark (when he sings " the most") it just goes pear shaped - where is the basic structure of verse n chorus ? He seems to take the vocals "up" as if going into a chorus when it isn't the chorus and the "tune" just isn't one!! It's bizarrely bad for any competent writer - let one a frickin genius !! The changes aren't quirky or interesting or experimental - it's just a mess ! I like a bit of sprawling sonic soundscape ( lovesexy and rainbow children are 2 of my very favourite albums) but this doesn't make audible sense or flow - it's clunky! It was painful to listen to - i was shuddering in parts - almost on a par with the dire Planet Earth (except SHOE = excellent song) which contains some of his worst songs and most certainly his worst vocals ever .. But that's a different point ! Also, less importantly, but why would you be "toast" in London but fair better in USA ?? Just about several million more guns in USA than UK - or have I missed something (was probably too baffled by the noise/ mess to focus on the lyrics).. Yet listening to Andy Allo's album - where he has most likely had a larger input than he's chosen to credit himself for - he clearly can still construct excellent songs that still surprise and intrigue. Baffled as to how P can select this to air on radio and make available for sale . No, I'm not looking for a WDC pt2 (despite the fact that it has to be one of the best songs by anyone ... ever) but I am lost as to how the same guy can produce the same 2 songs ! I love his diversity - but quality is quality and will shine through ( or not) regardless of what direction someone takes or how someone isn't 26 anymore. Hence being baffled! There are numerous examples of songs over the past 10-15 years that are great so let's not automatically put any negative comments down to old school fans looking for the next 80's linn drum classic- maybe some people just have discerning ears who can differentiate between brilliant, good, ok n bad! This is bad! Next!

must have gotten lost on that same truckload of funk that was coming several weeks back....

Dear Prince. If you want my money for your music, then put it on a CD or Vinyl. Thanks!

This may be my favorite Prince song I've ever heard. Really. No shit.

Is this your first Prince song?

imago said:

Guys, don't belive this nonsense.

The internet is over. iTunes won't pay Prince up front, so he won't sell stuff on them.
Prince also doesn't record music anymore. He's taking a break until the music

industry fixes its problems, pays him more money, and stops recording his songs.


All this talk about new music just makes no sense to me.

um...ok

but I don't see it on iTunes yet. Oh wait!!! Has anyone checked 20Pr1nc3.com yet?

so 8Up, you are joking right.

this crap song is better than even Kiss or When Doves Cry..?

nice answer, ludwig....

I'm gonna go old school and buy the album when it drops. It'll be the first I've bought since New Power Soul.

so, it's still not on iTunes...

not his best song. but hey, i got used to it in the last 15 years! but i like that he's steppin' into ROCK and more guitar driven songs again! for sure: there will be at least 1 or 2 blasters on the album... if it comes out!?!? AND that's fine with me.

O god here we go the moaners are out!

Don`t you have enough to complain?

This song is far better than many recent ones (prior 3rdeyegirl)...

I think it`s better than planet Earth, MPLS or 20ten altogether.

I`m quite excited by this Prince & 3rdeyegirl project (finally), I have been waiting for this since years!

I haven't moaned about it, I've just given my opinion. It's not your opinion, or his opinion, or her opinion. It's my opinion. It may be the wrong opinion but it's mine nontheless. And my opinion controls me to make purchases and act, speak, behave and so on. My opinion helped make Prince a millionaire, make him a celebrity and post the occasional link to my FB page. My opinion is valid whether or not it has commonalities with your opinion, his opinion or her opinion. And my opinion of this song is that it's not very enjoyable for me. My opinion is also that it is also not very good as a piece of music when compared to other pieces of music by either Prince or other artists, both past and present. I'm not asking that you agree or criticise my opinion. I welcome an intelligent discussion about why my opinion is such and also can appreciate that my opinion is not your opinion, his opinion or her opinion. But should I really have to suffer, tolerate or read that my opinion is without worth?

I dislike celery a great deal. I find it foul tasting, unpleasant in texture and without worth. Anybody care to bitch slap me for moaning about celery? Pathetic.

What's the big hatred of iTunes? The files are playable on almost anything these days (NOT just Apple products) and they don't have DRM anymore. Obviously YES I would like to support the artist directly through 3rdEyeGirl.com but he's all over the place with how he's releasing music. We take what we get.

Side note: I was suprised that R&RLA and Screwdriver are on Spotify.

you are entitled to your opinion. but what makes you redundant is the sheer number of negative posts you burden threads with.
