Nice to see that Eryn Allen Kane gets a lot of props on the Soundcloud page!

"As the song neared completion at Prince's behest Eryn Allen Kane graciously flew in on a moment's notice and graced the track with her angelic presence."

She has a beautiful voice, 'not being negative' but I don't think I would have liked it as much without a co-lead. His voice sounds nice along with the music on this

So...what to think of the last bit: "to bring you up to date on a developing situation in Los Angeles".

L.A. is next?!

"if there is not justice , then there aint no peace" ...

that line just bugs me ... cus my opinion is ... the officers

will be found NOT GUILTY ... at least some will ...

then what ? rioting again for weeks ?

So it was completely re recorded, with Prince playing all instruments, after the live recording that woman wrote about?

I'm not overtly impressed by the song (I like the guitar though), but I like having some information about how it was recorded.

What can one say but... Salieri.

All by design to bring in martial law. Militarize LE further. Federalize LE. Globalist agendas. The borders no longer exist either.. The politicians want people to riot as it will justify militarization and federalization of LE. Take a look at the move to take guns away from the people. All moves to control

Yeah, I heard they're getting ready to drop the Big One on LA, which will probably spell the end for NCIS: Los Angeles.

After a week long chemtrails-campaign, the signal will be: all radiostations playing Baltimore for a straight hour. You then have 20 minutes to get to the nearest fall-out shelter. Good luck over there!

i agree

i've made a thread about his voice sounding much weaker on record now and got a lot of flak for it.

Askani said:

Musically, it has a RRLA meets Money Don't Matter Tonight feel, it's performed with great panache, not sure about the chants that come in and out.

Sounds like it could be killer live

Haven't the people of Baltimore suffered enough!

its an embarrassment is Prince actually trying to start riots in LA now?

What's so awful about it?

its poo

BALTIMORE recorded at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, Minnesota onwww.myfoxtwincities.com/s...Jc.twitter. The original recording subsequently became a demo when Prince, that very same night - all alone in Studio A, played all the instruments on an entire new version of the song. The next morning Joshua Welton and Kirk Johnson transferred Prince's tracks in2 Studio B. and mixing began. As the song neared completion at Prince's behest Eryn Allen Kane graciously flew in on a moment's notice and graced the track with her angelic presence.

Speaking of presence. was not during Eryn's vocal sessions. After being given the greenlight by , being the studio intercom,Ms. Kane basically listened down 2 the track a few times & instinctively knew what was needed.

A powerhouse vocal arranger & producer in her own right. The song grew wings instantly Once her had been laid down.The only thing left 2 do now was 2 find an ACE mixing engineer who has a love 4 the smooth wave of analog but will still pack the punch the per4mances deserve. Dylan Dresdow was the 1st & only choice.

He instantly understood the importance of the song & did an Xcellent job of the delivery of this "baby".

.

Please know that ALL involved in this project never take advange of the privileges we have in this country. Let's all continue to fight the good fight and confront inhumanity on every level until the daythe day it is no longer...

love the vocals and the style and overall sound of the song.

the fatal flaw is the line "Let's take all the guns away" that is not going to fly...sorry. and it has no place in this song really... what he has done with that line (sang twice) and turned off many that have respect for the right to bear arms.

It is also flat out stupid: who is going to take the guns? Oh the Government! Okay... so they will still have them then? But this is about the government killing people (in this case with out a gun and in the other case the victim did try to take the gun from the cop.) So now ONLY cops have guns! That has to better.

and that silly "if there ain't no Justice..."

I do like the sound...the guitar is lacking but it kind of fits....I wish the bit at the end was a bit lower and more scratchy sounding

over all 3 out of 5

All by design to bring in martial law. Militarize LE further. Federalize LE. Globalist agendas. The borders no longer exist either.. The politicians want people to riot as it will justify militarization and federalization of LE. Take a look at the move to take guns away from the people. All moves to control. It is a cute little song but all this hoopla ain't gonna create jobs. Everyone is suspect, Bono of U2 had some charity that only gave 2% of proceeds back. All the rest going to inflated administrative costs to friends, family and fans that ran the charity. Baltimore will never turn around without jobs, real jobs. The truth is the truth.

What is LE?

that chant often means "we want a conviction and prison time no matter what the facts are"

I wouldn't call it awful, though I will never listen to it again. I would just call it 'not good'.

Starting with Rock & Roll Love Affair, Prince seems to have entered the anemic Christian phase of his career.
