Hannah singing the second verse....

That's where I stopped listening to the stream, her voice is annoying when she talks but even more when she's singing. Why oh why can't she stick to playing drums...or simply disappear. Sigh. neutral

Instantly catchy... incredible take on the original.

Perhaps he's given up on his typical protogé model and decided he can draw just as much attention to young/lesser known artists by covering them.

Awesome song... so presumably not available anywhere?

I t hought it was pretty good.. Altho I would of MUCH rather heard Prince sing the WHOLE song.. Not a fan of the drummers voice.. BUT the guitar in it ROCKED!!!

Decent song over all...

look shes a lovely girl and all, but the song just dropped when prince stopped being the lead vocal. When is he going to get this? But i like it more than i thought. Hopefully live, this will be great with just prince on vocals. Just a little disappointing to think that its not his song, and is doing covers.

Now they're playing One of Us.. cool.

Very cool even! cool

Compare that performance with "What if" and know why P & #3 shouldn't even have bothered to record another song/cover about God...imho.

I agree.. NOT really sure exactly what he see's in this girl band really.

I mean the are OK... but he is SO much stronger with a full sized band with Hornz and the whole deal.. These girls are like a "club band"..

Not really some one a great artist like Prince should be around all the time..

I had really HOPED the entire song was gonna be HIM with just her on the chorus.. HE sounded amazing!

Very strong sounding song. Personally my two favorite songs so far happen to be covers.

AnotherLove and What If.

And that's very sad, isn't it? Prince's strongest recent songs are cover versions.

I disagree, Hannah sounds great. I''m somewhat reluctant to compare her to Shirley Manson but I think I'm going to...

Damn color me impressed! Exceeded my expectations for sure....

Thanks P for new music.
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

All of it. Everything. Is U.

I just wanna hear Prince sing for God's sake! Surely to God Prince knows she can't sing right? Why does he let her sing?

Edit: It's annoying because I actually liked the song when P was singing sad

Makes sense. I was thinking "What If (God Was One Of Us) Pt. 2" as I was listening to the new song, so... cool

It was good. Not great, but not at all bad. Glad Prince sang on it, too. Guitar was great!

Thanks for the track Prince & 3rd Eye Girl, I'm looking forward to Saturday night!!

caught a little bit more of it the second time around. It's better than the original for sure, but i dunno, i still feel like there's only so much you can do with that song

i don't mind the band, but the vocal and enjoyment of the song drops alot when she takes over the song. I'm sure its princes idea, so i am not blaming hannah or having a go at her, but the quality of the song dives when she takes over the lead vocals.

The song will be played on a Kentucky radio station which can be streamed HERE

The radio station have said:

"In honor of the upcoming Hit and Run shows this weekend, we'll be debuting a brand new Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL song, "WHAT IF," tomorrow on WFPK. It features Prince and 3RDEYEGIRL drummer and Louisville native Hannah Welton on vocals."



Discuss! smile

LMFAO!!!

Maybe Prince's hearing is going a bit in his old age. (wink) But no.. all joking aside.. it wasn't "that" bad.. Guiar was tight.. HE sounded great.. Would of been EXCELLENT if he sang it all... but considering the song as a whole.. good.
