I think it is, Prince embracing modern R&B-hip/hop but still sounding like Prince, dark and sensual, self-councious lyrics about his whole mid-'90s situation

Do do do what I do, and
Bang bang bang on the drummer
And love so-and-so"

the remixes were fab!!

not the best of the 90's

ever hear I Hate U or Nothing Compares 2 U or Last Heart

I like it.

.

I don't think I can't say which one is the P's best 1 of the 90's but "Letitgo" is surely in my Top20.

.

'Nothing Compares 2 U' is from 1985, and 'Last Heart' from 1986.

That aside, 'Letitgo' is great.

My personal favorite from the mid '90s/the whole '90s is 'Hide The Bone'.

"Space" beats it out for me, off the same album and with a better maxi single, too.

Ugh. Letitgo is dreadful, the worst song on Come (and I'm including Orgasm in this). It's so dated and tacky. Horrible song.

Its a cool tune but hardly the best. I think it was placed perfectly on Come, a downtempo funky singalong style closer.

It's not even the best off Come, which is not the best album of the 90s. So, I would say no.

Having said that, it's an OK song. It's a bit too mid-tempo for me though, I much prefer Loose! although I'm not claiming it's a better song.

Love 2 The 9's

And God Created Woman

Sweet Baby

Letitgo

LeGrind

Diamonds & Pearls

Elephants and Flowers

..any of the above songs could compete for best Prince song of the 90s

Letitgo is fantastic.. I agree.

Ps RJOrion... Le Grind is from 1987..

Letitgo is a great song that I listen to often...just to remind myself to do just what it says.

my bad on Legrind..i was going by the 1994 official release date...not the actual '87 date.....

O f course not, it's a great 90's sounding song, very good lyrics.

I think I like it more now than I did then, but I didn't like it at all in 94, so from a 1 to 4 I guess (out of 10). So no, I think it's far from his best 90s song.

Definately agree about Sweet Baby. One of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote with harmonies and vocal arrangements to die for.

Letitgo (On The Cool-Out Tip Radio Edit) is my favorite version.

I paused whatever I'm doing and sing along at the 2:22 mark.

where do you even start, Prince's best era hands down. Felt so fresh, funky, inspired, and so much great music in just a few years!

"Best era", that's a little too much credit, but yeah, you're naming some great songs/jams there! [Edited 9/23/15 15:02pm]

I've always been more into the 90's stuff then the 80's stuff. For me, my top era's go 93-96, then 2002-2004 (the ONA band)

We should say the last best era...

I loved Letitgo from the first time I heard it. It was out of date even then, but still. I doubt Prince could sing the chorus with that much air anymore. To me Billie Jack Bitch is the best Prince song of the mid 90's.
