"The Breakdown"

I just heard this song live on-line..
i think it's one of his better songs in years..
plus has those classic trademark screams towards the
End of the song..Do u think it will ever
See the light of day on any album?

I know 3rdeye performed on the us your last year so it'll either be on Plectrum Rectum or a solo Prince album which I think we'll see later in the year smile

It's an absolutely fantastic song. He performed it live when I saw the Live Out Loud tour in Las Vegas to open the show and it was breathtaking. I can't wait to hear the full, finished studio version.

Most fans would agree that it's probably the strongest song out of what we've heard in the last couple of years.

I'm now torn between The Breakdown and The Unexpected (with Prince's vocals)

it's slow

he sings "down, down, down" way too early on it

and ends with him screaming or something

maybe when it is finished it will get released but I bet it won't be as good as "The Dance" from 3121

but for now it is just 'meh'

Breakdown is nice. Folks keep saying 'best song in years' and all this mess..but how many years? Cuz..Sticky Like Glue, lavaux, Black Sweat, Guitar, Chelsea, Dance 4 Me..were classic tunes imo

The Dance is one of the few re-worked (or "finished" as he would say) songs that made seriously huge improvements over the previous versions.

Never heard the Breakdown. I guess it must be that good if so many keep talking about it.
