Horrible. Absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, IMHO. Now, someone please tell me how to erase this from my mind.

I consider this a new track, since it's a remix that we haven't heard before. I appreciate that Prince put this out. Some people can/will never be satisfied, it seems. No surprise that Joshua detractors hate this, because it has his trademark SFX on it. The track is short and sweet, though, so the whooshes and slowdowns don't get annoying (personally, I've never been bothered by them, but I can see why some people would be).

"So, so, so much fun...WOOO!!!"

At the very least, we are back on the right track, it's a Prince song, and a remix we have not heard before.

I do like that it's a Prince song even though it is too short, and could have been remixed/reimagined a la This Could Be Us. My favorite so far has been Free Urself, I like that it was available to buy very soon afterwards. Keep bringing the music Prince 😊 🎼🎵🎶

Definitely an edit, I bet this is the Kendric Lamar rap version but just cut short.

Absolutely agree. This is an abomination. I didnt think anything could be worse than FIL2N but fuck me, those goal posts have moved. Anyway, that is five long minutes (including download time) of my life that I wont be getting back. I might have to listen to Purple & Gold just to remind myself that Prince's standards are not always this bad.

He has so many tracks to choose from and he gave us this piece of dog poop?

I don't know what benefit this track serves except to stroke Josh's ego about his mixing skills or whatever. It's like he's deliberately putting two fingers up to Tidal or, even worse, doesn't want to give us anything of value.

Well, something is better than nothing, I will glady take Pretzelbodylogic Reloaded and add it to the collection. But you are correct, he could be dropping some really great stuff, but for whatever reason, ego, control, he simply does not. He knows exactly what the fans want, why he doesn't deliver is a mystery to me.

I certainly wasn't expecting any gems to be released vie the purple pick. I'm fine with the remix, what else are we to expect for something which is a free bonus? A Prince track remixed or an extended version each week and I'm super happy. In fact, if that were to happen I'd probably pay for a Tidal subscription. If we keep seeing previously released tracks, other peoples tracks or playlists, then I'm more than happy to continue with free trials.

Just heard the full remix and it's even worse than the original

The 'cut the vocal out and woosh it down' effect is really getting old, never heard a single effect so overused, I think it happens at least 100 times on Hit N Run.

So if you all had Prince's ear, what would you ask him to release for next weeks purple pick? Be as general or specific as you want.

I would request a vault track, any vault track.

He tweeted today (and then deleated it when people started asking if he was going to pay for their tidal account) that maybe "Do YOURself a FAVOR" would make a good Purple Pick Of the Week once everyone was Tidalized.

Someone asked him, "Are you going to pay for my Tidal account, pedro?" and he retweeted that and said, "I already do with HIGH RES music."

I would like him to release either Revelation, 2Y2D or a vault track next week, maybe a song from 2006-2008 who didn't end up on Lotusflow3r [Edited 10/23/15 14:07pm]

i hope those tracks dont get lost in the shuffle of new recordings.....

Probably a Judith Hill track for this weeks purple pick is my prediection. Would of course much perfer something else, since we already have that, but that is what I think Prince will do for next week.

That would make sense, but I'm hoping for a live track from one of the Paisley parties. I'm really curious about how the new band sounds.

Yeah that would be an excellent pick for sure.

Looks like it's Judith Hill's album Back In Time this week, can't say I'm suprised.

I was wondering if he might do this, to not take away attention from this project.

Great pick, I nearly missed that album what with it being the tidal album of the week...
