Superconductor

avatar

Superconductor is a lovely album. Admittedly, AA hasn't got a big voice but the beauty of the album is that P worked with her voice and provided the right type of songs for it.

Ditto Oui can love which is a collection of covers with him on acoustic guitar.

.

Btw, if The story of you and I is about their relationship, is the song I love u in me as well? LOL

I wonder why she hasnt made an appearances at any Tributes other than the Apollo?

Her photo with P is up at PP.

Just wondering.

eek

She said on her livestream that she tried to sing a song for him and he was like "No!" lol and she said she feels like no one can do his songs justice. Maybe that's why?

What picture is up? The black and white photo she posted after his passing? I also heard there's a pic of her in the galaxy room.

THIS IS THE PICTURE AT PAISLEY

wasn't that Prince playing guitar on Oui Can Luv?

Her "guitar playing" might have improved by 2016 but it was so bad it may as well not have been there back when she was in the NPG.



Yes, that was Prince playing on "Oui Can Luv".

I'll never criticize anyone who got to play with Prince. If they were good enough for him, they were good enough for me.

No one is forcing you to criticize anyone.

Prince had his reasons for having her around and I respect that but they certainly weren't to do with her guitar chops.

Maybe she wasn't invited to perform at any of the tributes, simple as that. Doesn't make me wonder at all. Judith did perform at the tribute in Minn. tho.

Last I checked, this album was free for streaming on Amazon Prime. The CD is crazy expensive now.

Or maybe she refused simple as that. She did say on that day she was going to be there in spirit so that more than likely means she was invited

It's apparently on her "Superconductor" album. I guess it talks about their "story" ?



I still haven't heard this album--a lot of people said it was well done and wished Prince had recorded some of the songs for himself. I'll have to give it a listen.


My favourite protegé album since the mid 80s. Stunning, from start to finish.

I agree. I was surprised by how much I liked it. Definitely worth a listen.

From what I could hear of the words, I wondered if it was in connection to Revelation. There is a vid on YT of him singing I love you in me in London, I think it is...well before Andy's time at PP. Guess she is making a statement with her comments and doing it Prince style with the "hold something back" approach.

It could possibly be;

Lyrics for the story of you and I

Every time you enter me

Soldier deeper into me

I love you in me

When we are making love it is like surgery

I say oh I love you in me

it is not rocket science to figure out smile

When we just close our eyes and hold each other tight angels from a starry sky sing to us every night....every night yu enter me as the sun enters the sea then we just close our eyes and hold each other tight...

Per Prince vault,. initial tracking for I love U in me was in 1989 (Arms of Orion) and then re-recorded in 2011-12 with Andy as Oui we can love. I like both versions but think the addition of her vice really adds somehting to it; like their version better.

You're most welcome! I've never seen or heard anything that suggested that Prince co-wrote this particular song with Andy. I do know that he played acoustic on this track for the album. P is supposed to have written Superconductor and The Calm, and he and Andy co-wrote Long Gone. Everything else is credited to AA, so it's interesting that she says that now.

The song Oui can love is an acoustic remake of the song We can funk.

I love u in me has kept its original title and is one of the tracks on the unreleased Allo/Prince acoustic album Oui can love.

Lyrics to I love U in me - original. The acoustic version sung by AA with Prince in brackets/crossed out wink

.

She (I) took off her (my) dress, and I (he) took a peek
While thunderstorm(s) played hide and seek
I (he) begged for a kiss, she (I) gave me (him) seven
Our lips touched and it feel (felt) like heaven

Everything I want is what she (he) does to me
She don't (Don't) blush 'cause she's (I'm) so damned free
When she (we're) makin' love it's like surgery
And she (I) say, ooh, I love you in me

.

I promised myself not to come (hug) until she (he) does
And (But) she (he) took both hands and a liar I was
No man (woman) in this world could ever hope to last
When my baby downshifts and starts pumpin' (talking) fast

Everything I want is what she (he) does to me
She don't (Don't) blush 'cause she's (I,m) so damned free
When she makin' love it's like surgery

And she say, ooh, I love you in me

I love you, I love you, in me

.

Our bodies sink in a pool of sweat
It's the kind of love that you never forget
With you honey (me baby), I'm the richest in the world (so rich)
I don't need money 'cause you're my (I'm his) girl

Everything I want is what she (he) does to me
She don't (Don't) blush 'cause she's (I'm) so damned free
When she makin' love it's like surgery (surgery)
And she say, ooh, I love you in me

I love you in me

.

Please read before adding useless comments. I said it's interesting that she is now saying they co-wrote it - because I have never heard her, or P, or anyone else suggest that before. He was not credited on this song in the liner notes when the album came out. History has an interesting way of being rewritten when it suits someone, and the bottom line is that she can say whatever she wants to, just like everybody else, because nobody's here to say otherwise.

I only stated the fact, if you consider that useless then that says a lot about you and it doesn't stop the FACT that she had a special place in Prince's heart

Have a great day!

Great song and a great album! As someone else said one of his best protege albums in 4ever!

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

It's a beautiful, sexy song. I don't doubt for a moment that she and P co-wrote it...or that it is their story. He always seemed QUITE taken with her. She might not have been at the tributes (probably because she was not invited), but P made certain that her presence in his world is permanently etched in his legacy, there on the walls of Paisley Park. I don't believe any of his other proteges was honored in such a way. And don't forget that he would reportedly draw Sharpie hearts on their ring fingers! He even wore one of his graphic shirts with her picture on his chest (commissioned at his request, no doubt). This was yet another first for the Purple Yoda. All things considered, I'd say that Prince was REALLY into Andy.

It's obvious he was into her. I'm a bit surprised though due to the age gap. What could she bring to his life ?

She's slim young beautiful and talented. What is there not to like? innocent

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

Andy allo and Prince

They also wore TOTALLY KICKY matching outfits, and allegedly, she’s the one who influenced him to wear his hair in a natural afro. They also sang “Let’s Get It On”, in a reasonably sexual manner. Wherever this sits with you, the outfit coordination forever solidifies them as a visually unified music making match in the heavens.

wavesofbliss

it was obvious to me that prince wrote or co-wrote the entire album. i don't care what she says. andy is talented but not a good enough songwriter to copy his songwriting style and very few of the songs on SC sound like her other work. esp this song. those are prince lyrics- they may have exchanged lines but those are prince words. bored2

--

same with liv warfield's album. but her album sounds more like her than prince so he probably did 3-4 songs at the most.

--

i always felt that it was prince returning to his old school program of doing everything and feeding them the narrative.
