This kind of sucks. Cage to my dove? I don't want my love songs conjuring up images of birdshit.

Also, this song is about a meme. It makes me sad to even say that. Will the next song be a song about writing a song about a meme? A 20 minute funk work out based on a funny thumbnail pic? Bad ideas like this really cheapen his song-writing gifts.

That's not saying that he can't still execute the shit out of a bad idea because a man with that kind of talent most certainly can. But just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. And after the 49th layer of vocals don't you realize that maybe it was a shitty idea to begin with? Or maybe you've put in so much work that you fool yourself into liking it instead of admitting that you've wasted your time.

We've all heard this song before done much more effectively. In a purple cage match, This Could B Us wouldn't stand a chance against a Pink Cashmere. Pink Cashmere would headbutt the shit out of this tripe. And then smack Prince for diluting his legacy, while Underneath The Cream points and laughs.

And yet here he is, trying to create buzz for his half-decade-in-the-making new album by shining a light on his own bald spot. Where's the growth? He's been at it for years! Maybe this is why Warner won't take his calls.

A truly smart person who has nothing to say will STFU. Maybe it's time.

PS-I wish there was someone in his camp whom he respected that loved him enough to tell him what's what.

I don't know how to feel about it. It's 36 seconds! I can't tell, if it's good or bad. We'll hear the full song, eventually.

No, but maybe it'll grow on me. This first taste went down like ipecac, though.

Shame he has stepped back from the progression with 3EG. This sounds ok, but more like an Emancipation outtake than 2014.

Maybe. It's less annoying with repeated listening. I love the single set of snaps toward the end. Effective placement. smile

Sounds like a semi-grand climax to what started as a simple ballad. The vox r energized and somewhat lively and confident; like he feels he's back in the game.



But I'm probably reading WAAAAY to much into that thirty second snippit.

In saw the 8.6 mb and thought it'd be longer...but its a WAV file so it all makes sense. 8.6 to thirty seconds set me up for a disappointmemt

Can I just get the damn album already.

If I saw Prince in the street. I'd wave all nice and approach him nicely...say hello and shake his had...then rob him quickly and harmlessly for copy he had in his pocket and bounce with a swiftness.


I just need the damn record already bruh!

I dont think he has stepped back from 3EG, He's been playing people tracks from both albums, and last night the Twitter account tweeted "PLECTRUMELECTRUMLISTENINGPARTYTHISWEEKEND?" He's just seperating the styles.

LOL. The part where P says, " Honey, Honey, Honey" makes me think that he was inspired by this viral vid, http://www.youtube.com/wa...P8RB7UZHKI

Yup. It's like he cannot help himself and just keeps rehashing the same handful of ideas.



Very similar to you then.

What? The five "members" of the "PrinceArmy"? Pffft.

Also, why the minuscule font?

You will never get this album. This album (whatever it's called) will never be released. Not now not ever. Me thinks he sent it to Warners and they said a huge NO. He then decided to show a few others (john etc) because obviously WB must be up to their old tricks and stopping his albums from coming out. Problem is he got a luke warm response from John too. So having no validation he has dropped it to get some from the fans. Again, epic fail! No validation there either. Even fans think its rubbish. You excluded of course.

That's fair enough, but alot talk like he should be making tracks to their taste, and put a dampner on people who might like it lol If everyone liked the same stuff the world would be a very boring place smile

My thoughts after 1 listen...It's okay....not really the kind of stuff I prefer but fairly standard Prince fare... but honestly, 36 seconds is not really enough for me sad
