"Baltimore" I heard this when it first came out and didn't even give it a second listen.
But, since I bought HNR2 Friday I've been having it on repeat a LOT.
What a great catchy song.
At first I didn't give it a chance because it just seemed political and "boring."
But like many great Prince tracks it grows on you.
Catchiest Prince song in a long time.
Did this get play in Baltimore or anywhere else? [Edited 5/3/16 11:30am] | |

His last truly great track. Perhaps not an amazing song, but beautifully produced for 1:42 mins... but then that outro! Two and a half minutes of pure Princely bliss. Listen to those female voices suddenly rise like they are utterly demented at 2:13-14 before they break into a choirly singalong with P. We will see some revisionism on those late Prince albums, naturally so, and I'm sure I'll be part of that too. But he was a fading force, as all greats who don't drop dead at 30 or do a Pete Sampras are destined to become. And I'm glad that for at least one number on his curent album he was the Prince of old. Producing, performing and arranging like a musical god, one last time. | |
