I like it, it's not a brilliant song, but it's got an edge, something that's been missing in Prince's music for a while. I hope that continues.

On another note, I wonder what 'hard-rock' Prince listens to?

I don't really post on here anymore, but made an exception for this track.

If this song had been released as part of "old" Prince's catalogue, everyone would hail it as a classic now.

It's very very very good.

I liked it off the bat, but like it a bit more with each listen.

Obviously in the minority here but the track does nothing for me. Sounds like Prince trying to sound like someone else.

Loving it more and more, and excited about the alleged forthcoming album. While the guitar and vocals are what grabbed me first, I'm appreciating the bass now, too. I'm assuming it's all Prince? I'm curious about credits...

Deceptively simple on first listen but you hear something new every time you play it.

I agree and came back to say just this. I've listened to the song dozens of times in the last day, and I'm still hearing elements I hadn't noticed before.

It seems like the digital kaleidoscope of AOA and the creamy fuzz of PE are having a child

Perfect description. This song combines the best of the two albums, imo.

actually you are a famz like everyone here. or a man with problem typing link in browser.

Note that I used the plural "famz", the singular is "fam".

No, I'm not a fam. I'm not someone who desperately tries to convince himself that Prince's output of the past 20 years is just as good as his 1980s classics. I'm not someone who proclaims Prince's latest brainfart "fantastic" or a "masterpiece", only to rescind such proclamations six months later. It was really funny to see a lot of famz declare AOA "his best in years", "his best since TGE" or even "his best since D&P" while dismissing Prince's output of the past years.

Oh noyou're not that kind of "fam" but you're the exact opposite as you have a desperate need to convince others that Prince's output of the past 20 years is flat out horrible in every way imaginable, which makes you just as robotically reactive as the "famz" you condemn.

AOA is a great album, too bad your automatic dislike of anything post-1995 meansyou disliked the album six months before it came out -- just like the next one that has yet to come out.

As for this new song, you already rushed and listened to it before most "famz" could or cared to do so, it's not like just because I liked AOA I immediately drop whatever I'm doing to listen to his latest track 12 times in a row ready to declare it a masterpiece, like your caricatural notions suggest a "fam" does. I don't even know if I like it or not yet and won't be shy about not liking it if I don't so stay tuned -- I know you're dying to know what I think

I hope it's just me, but the guitar riff kinda sounds like Florida State's annoying 'tomahawk chop.' Now I can't unhear it.

The vibe. The angry sounding guitar. The edginess. The build. You don't hear it?

Maybe I should listen to both songs back to back and see if I hear what you hear. I like When I Lay... a lot, so it's worth a try.

When Eye Lay My Hands On U is much better !!

But I do like this song.

The first time I heard the song, I got the feeling that he's holding back in the screams and the guitarplaying

LOL. It's most definitely not you. I played the song for my boyfriend last night and the first time the guitar riff kicked in, he immediately said that it reminded him of something. I sang the "Tomahawk Chop" and he was like, "Yes, that's it!!"

There's definitely a resemblance, especially the first few times, but it deviates a bit towards the end.

BTW, all those folks who wanted P to work with outside prducers on their best day couldnt do a song like this..?love, Pharrell etc

[Edited 7/3/15 11:09am]

Love the song, love the lyrics, love the attitude! Classic P. Whomever said this sounds like him trying to sound like somebody else....really! To many tracks in his repertoire that shows he's capable of this himself, but it doesn't feel derivative to me. Just a dude loving his guitar and a reflecting on a real or imagined encounter with a chick who likes it HARD! It ain't the drummer, its the guitar player!

those bongos/percussion buried in the mix esp at the end though

Lol...what a relief! I'll look past it as long as he sneaks my favorite team's fight song into his next track!

i want to be able to buy a version of this with an extra minute of guitar at the end.

i'd pay for it, gladly. throw in an extended version of X's Face and it's all good for

me. cannot wait for this album.

oh good lord, YES!! this is shaping up to be a very nice album.
although, i doubt that X's Face will be on there since we got it
a while back already. but you never know these days, since he

put Breakfast Can Wait on AOA after all that time.
