The album version sounds just as bad as the initial download version. Stare sounds way better She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

Very forgettable like Hardrock. I just don't NEED to hear it. still optimistic about new stuff. For all time I am with you, you are with me. | |

No chimp noises. It's an improvement from X's Face. I hate that song. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

This might be the first time I've seen Bart thrown under the bus on a thread before he has actually even made a comment. . I don't get it. Instead of intelligently critiquing the song, or even commenting on the Spotify exclusivity, the thread derails immediately against other orgers. . I'm still absorbing the song, but at first listen there are a few too many reference to the "past" from someone who claims to not look back. Musically, it's a direct cousin to The Work, Pt. 1 and Prettyman, neither of which are my favorites but I don't dislike them either. . Stare is OK, and it seems effortless for Prince. I say that as a bad thing. I don't want effortless. I was effortful (not really a word, but I'm using it). I want to hear a song that took a while to write, and took even longer to flesh out in the studio. . I'm intrigued by the use of Spotify and what that might mean for the future, but as a graphic designer I'm also intrigued by the over-use of Photoshop on the artwork. Maybe I am distracted by these things because I'm not entranced by the song itself? | |

I'm really liking this song but if I must find a fault with it (and I must) I'd say it's too short. I hope that there are longer versions of this and HARDROCKLOVER on the album. | |

Prince to me is referencing when he used to dance in underwear on stage on the Dirty Mind era (and later he would actually wear no underwear on the Purple Rain Tour ('does your man have an ass like mine?') but he's sick of all these people just STARING TAKING CELL PHONE FOOTAGE, he'd rather his fans be dancing or 'fiending for the funk until it hurts... You need to back up and let me show you how to dance'... instead of STARE...'we like it when you shake it...don't break it' meaning keep on dancing, right? When he saus 'I'd rather let the music talk while you and me walk into the past' I think he means WHEN HIS FANS USED TO DANCE INSTEAD OF STARE TAKING CELL PHONE FOOTAGE.
I LOVE THE PRODUCTION ON THIS SONG! The song is overwhelming so most people (including me!) are not going to be able to digest it on the first 10 listens. There's just so much going on!!!! On that note, it doesn't grab me as quick as HARDROCKLOVR, but it's still stupendous [Edited 7/30/15 15:03pm] | |

Other than the clunky line about everybody needing to "jam cuz this party's got a ham"? I assume this is a vague reference to "Starfish". lol, "gone 'ham". crazy, buck wild, etc | |

Funny how unsuccessful musicians always wanna attack the successful ones.
Back on topic now. Referring to someone else as an "unsuccessful musician" is a personal attack and uncalled for. Not if it is true. I often think that with the amount of bitching that goes on that many people are just Trools, no fans who do not have a life or musicians who are just jealous. I am not even going to go into the number of guys commenting on how old he looks or how much photoshopped has been used on pictures (wtf) | |

Since you have basically written the same review for almost two decades now, I'm not sure why some people give you some credibility as an ass-essor of his music.
Wouldn't you expect an intelligent observer to at least develop some nuance? More importantly, wouldn't you expect a perenially disappointed person to move on rather than stay on a site to lecture people that dare enjoy what your self-conceived superior judgement rules on and on.
I cordially invite you to start a thread called Why I Still Follow Prince.
Come on, you owe us that much.

On the right track but too restrained. Letitgo, Prince! "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

You are distracted because you have no life😏 You also realize that the retouching of photos occurs in almost all marketing materials in the entertainment field. Not sure why Prince would be different and why so much worry about it on this board. | |

AGREE ON THE HORNS! Who is Prince's horns on this track?? Very underwhelming, almost subtracts rather than adds funk to the bassline. | |

I'm sold on this one. A lot of fun! And a much more warm feel than AOA that came off tinny and thin to me. I'm not expecting the next Grand Progression - just something to enjoy. This fits the bill. Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ | |

I was going to make this a stand alone comment but when I read your post, it rather solidified where I was intending to go with this. So I just want you to know that what I'm about to say is not actually directed towards you. Please don't take it personally, if I offend. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

It's what Prince does, basically saying "I can do what the f**k what I want".
It's a dull track though. The best bit in it is the Kiss sample, and we all heard that first nearly 30 years ago. | |

Slowly but surely the funk is coming back. Me thinks Prince still has it... Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon. | |

7.5/10 I like it alot. Great bass, good horns, but the vocals are a bit dry. overall good funk tune. I like the direction he is going in | |

can't wait to see how he performs this live! Hopefully he's putting together some horns getting ready for a national stadium tour (wishful thinking never hurts!)!! | |

This ain't a funk song Hatrina! It's funky, but it's not a dancing funk song... it's a chill out with this song in the backround playing... reminds me of The Work, not 'New Position'. In concert is where this piece will me majestic [Edited 7/30/15 17:35pm] | |
