2010 is criminally underrated. Dude in The Mirror newspaper going: "yes, it's definitely his best since Sign'O'The Times."

i wish i'd never kissed your lips, bearded lady

He had two dancers with him (the Twinz?) and they draped him with some gauzy scarves while he sang. No one else around me knew the song at the Forum...but I was mouthing the lyrics. I was absolutely floored that he did it. eek

This song always reminded me a bit of Count the Days of the NPG.

Not really similar but the same vibe.

FSS is the best thing he'd done in years. A jewel in a massive turd.

I heared it live at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2011 and that was the first time I ever heared it. I didn't really know what to think of it. Sounded a little too mellow and sweet to my ears. But he made a comment that went something like, "I wrote this song...thinking about this night...people feeling good about music...about one another..." Yeah, that show had a lot of beautiful moments...

Future Soul Song is one of my favorite songs...I find now it has a really 'haunting' vibe to it (in a good way)

20ten is fantastic latter-day Prince, and FSS is one of the best cuts on there.

20Ten is 2010 times better than:

Graffiti Bridge
Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic
The Rainbow Children

...and a few other albums which inexplicably get favoured on this forum.

I really wish we had gotten 2010 Deluxe. I always thought that some of those songs were abbreviated versions...

Yeah, Future Soul Song ends a little abruptly. I feel like it could go on like Scandalous, with different parts.

20Ten ties for my least favourite Prince album. But even on an album I don't particularly like, there's a couple of fantastic songs. Sticky Like Glue and Laydown are really underrated. They're not Sign O the Times but they are fun, funky songs.
The best song on the album, in my opinion, is Future Soul Song. I loved that song the moment I heard it. I normally don't like songs but where there's obvious vocal effects but in this case, it works. It lends the song a certain feel that I can't quite put into words but it suits it.

Criminally under-rated. Sticky Like Glue, Lavaux, Beginning Endlessly, Laydown and this track are all great Prince songs, imo.
