First, I FKUCING love this track Sorry, but sometimes profanity is called for Second, this has got to be the first Pop Rock track in years that Prince hasn't messed up or dumbed down in the studio. This is the real deal. When you think about some of the great tracks P has killed in the studio ( Endorphine Machine, Fury, Chaos and DIsorder, and on and on) it's a miricale that this track got released in such a wonderful state. I'm very grateful and hope Prince releases more songs in this production style.

It's good and I agree. It's not watered down, which makes it great. But he's had a few. Crimson & Clover, Dreamer, Colonized Mind....

That guitar solo is spectacular!!

It's musical moments like this that keep me coming back!

It is EPIC... especially at the "...but I'm the greatest soul you'll ever know..." climax. This is one of my top cuts from both albums.

Amazing guitar on the track,



I love the song...

Awesome cover
freaking love it

That Prince version of 'Another Love', is a cover of Alice Smith's song 'Another Love' from her 'She' album.

Prince added one verse,so he cowritten the lyrics ,changed the vocal melody

and harmony of the song i would say that Princes versiojn is a new song

inspired and featuring some lyrics from Alices song

Wasn't there more than one verse added? The lines that begin with "You used to think I was so much fun, now I'm just the guilty one..." aren't on the Alice Smith song, are they?

One of the best cover versions he´s ever done. It would´ve been nice though if he´d mentioned Alice Smith in the liner notes. He´s the one who constantly complains about other people covering his songs, so it´s only fair to at least mention that it´s someone else´s song.

I like the original version, too, but Prince´s version is musically like a whole different song. The lyrics seem to hint at Andy Allo (that same clothes, same hair lyric, etc.).

This is a great song

Cant even call it a cover as it's so far removed from the original!

Did you somehow miss the part in my post where I said 'Prince's version' of Alice's song, meaning his version of her song? So yes of course, there were changes. It's a nice song, but for me, I like Alice's better, but doesn't mean I dislike his version. Different strokes, for different folks is all.

I love both versions and Alice Smith is beyond amazing!

I love this track. It's a reminder how Prince can really slay you with his vocals. The way his delivery drags the beat makes you feel the emotion he's portraying. What a pro.

Just listened to this track several times, because it is that good. The guitar playing is amazing. I can't get any work done listening to this track. It's that good. Nice, slowed-down version. This track and Plectrum Electrum is the best on the PE album. I'm surprised he didn't put Another Love on the AOA cd though.

Of all the output of songs from 2013 - 2014 Another Love is without a doubt my favorite song.

Agreed. But the fact that it's a cover is a little telling/sad.

Probably because most fans are used to Prince doing originals, yet he's recently done covers of other artists' songs, like 'Crimson and Clover', and others. The thing with this cover, is that it is slowed-down version, and the guitar solo in it, is a major difference from Alice's original. If anyone is not aware of Alice's original, then they more than likely wouldn't have issue with Prince's version. I listen to Prince's version more than Alice's original, and I'm a big fan of Alice's music. I like both versions. If find it to be the best track on PE, other than the single Plectrumelectrum. I could see version played on various radio stations for its funk-rock flavored vibe. That guitar solo in that track is awesome.

Love Alice, would love to hear her belt it in Prince's style while he just played guitar..on SNL of course.

he would do justice playing this on tv..

Outstanding song!

that guitar solo is BONKERS!

instant top 5! might be just behind PR & LGC!
