So I gotta decide if I buy the CD for my collection because of my addiction to having every official release with Prince that I can get my hands on or.... simply downloading the one song, 'cuz I KNOW I won't be liking anything else on the disc.

No way JW sits this one out. It's got to be a JW beat with Prince lyrics, bass and guitar. They are joined at the hip. They are Tricky and Christopher running through chicks on the Riviera, only it's pop starlets and tracks. Seriously, I think Prince is determined to get JW some credibility. This could be good.

We don't know how much input the kid had on AOA, I don't want to pin that crappy production on him without the inside scoop. I love that Prince helps young talent. As bad as the production on AOA is, Prince is ultimately responsible for it. And honestly it sounds so stale, old, cobwebby and tired that I can't see how a young person could be completely responsible for that. And I still think Prince is losing his hearing for AOA to sound so thin and tinny and still think it's ok to send it out the door. [Edited 2/23/15 21:26pm]

Only on the org do people think that JW is more talented than Prince.

Get it. Give it a try, you never know. Rihanna has recorded some cracking songs, OK they might not be lyrically deep and sure she's just an average singer but she has good producers and songwriters.

I never find her stuff offensive to the ear.

Was it written specifically for her?

Maybe a demo of the track went out to the big labels, and was probably taken by the highest bidder?

Either way she can be hit or miss, hopefully he will have some involvement in the final product.

I haven't heard the song, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the track was bad and Rhianna wanted it anyway just because Prince's name is attatched. Prince could write a song for almost anybody and they would include it on the album, just because he is a legend. It's surprising that no music came out of the Beyonce/Prince friendship a few years ago. Hopefully it's a good song though and the beginning of better things for Prince.

It has been highly speculated, that Beyonce used an unreleased track 4 one of her commercials. It undeniably had his intricate sound. But strangely was never released.

sometimes things just dont work and.or match the particular sound and or theme of rest of songs on cd...So, to speaculate that no music came is pure conjecture..

Wow..... I can't even believe some of you actually likes the junk-music by Rihanna..

That's "pseudo music" from a pseudo-artist.... yuck... its not exactly "real music by real musicians" like Prince used to preach a lot... it's what makes polution on the modern radio...


Oh dear..... so low.....

It's called choice. There's plenty of music of all different types and levels of perceived credibility out there.

I agree with you... it's so ironic isn't it...
