My ranking and reviews of the new tracks. How do you rate them?
Here's my ranking: 1. RNR Love Affair At first all I could hear was Take Me With U, but with repeated listens it forged its own identity. The song is insanely catchy, particularly the bridge ("This kind of love don't come from a prayer..."). Definitely the best of the recent tracks. 9/10 2. Screwdriver I'm a sucker for these kind of pop/rock ditties and nobody really does them these days except for Prince. It sounds less polished than his other recent rock tracks, more raw and spontaneous, which is a welcome change. I particularly like the Let's Go Crazy-esque guitar playing at the end. 8/10 3. Boyfriend Much of Prince's recent attempts at R&B make me cringe, but this is sweet. Love the horns and the chorus gets stuck in your head. Funky little R&B number that doesn't overstay its welcome. 7/10 4. Groovy Potential Chilled out, breezy little number. Strangely catchy considering its lack of any real chorus. Great use of horns and some nice guitar licks throughout. I particularly love the breakdown at the end which takes the song to a whole other level. 7/10 5. That Girl Thang Love Prince's acoustic tracks. This is very hypnotic and really works. I'd take this over ballads like Satisfied or Sea of Everything any day. 7/10 6. Live Out Loud I find it hard to be interested in his newer protégés (I couldn't even sit through one listen of Bria's album), but this song is decent. Quite an anthemic chorus, nothing spectacular but it gets stuck in your head. 6/10 7. Fixurlifeup A decent enough track, a few clunky lyrics but it kind of works. After the second verse the song seems to lose its steam. Guitar solo is a mess. 6/10 8. Breakfast Can Wait A very strange choice of single, just doesn't really go anywhere or offer anything particularly interesting to say, musically or otherwise. Not terrible, but definitely not single worthy material. 5/10 [Edited 9/9/13 3:45am] | |

What about Extralovable Reloaded? I love it, way better than the last one with the Andy Allo rap. Would still love Same Page Different Book and Laydown extended in proper quality. [Edited 9/9/13 4:43am] She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

U forgot The Breakdown- even if I've heared only half of it, it's easily the best of all of these. So that's half a good Prince song in 8 months. I really cannot say that "2013 is going to be big".

My favorite songs.
The Breakdown. I love this song. Very curious how it sounds like when it's officially a song.
Breakfast can wait. One of my favorites.
Groovy Potential.
R&R affair. Again, a personal favorite. I really dig the song. And I really like the video.
I like this song. Makes me laugh and it works good live. I'm not fond of the video. I think a video of a life performance would be much better. I like the coloring and other techniques, but the way it is now, it's somewhat silly.
Boyfriend. Like it. It's not on the top of my list, but it's a nice song. I like the lyrics. Yes, I'm a dreamy girl.
Extralovable Smooth song. But it's too smooth for my taste. Can't get into it. I get bored, don't even listen to the whole song. It's a no for me. I like Shelby on this song. I really apreciate the most lyrics in this song. However what I don't like is the line about Galations. I guess its shows that I'm not JW.
Liveoutloud No. I don't know, it's just not appealing to me. Despite the lyrics. It's not a sticky one for me.
No. Not my thing.
Menstrual cycle. Love it.
Big city

I just can't handle this kind of simplicity. But, maybe it works for others. I'm not the golden standard when it comes to music
