Ooo She She Wa Wa I always thought Sexuality had more of a tribal funk thing going on...ahead of its time. Love this song and underappreciated on the Org. | |

. Yes, it is far ahead of its time. It could comfortably fit on 1999 without any meaningful sense of ageing.

Think it's pretty obvious the ? means how on earth could anyone ever catagorize "New World" as New Wave. It's not even close. | |

. Cognitive dissonance with 'In This Bed I Scream'? | |

. 'When You Were Mine' is probably the most thoroughbred New Wave track he released on one of his own records. The others cited veer more into synthpop, slightly New Romantic-tinged, and/or R&B funk-punk. .

Yes, the ? was because that song (unless there is another different track that is not on Emancipation) is not even remotely New Wave.
It's a techno song - and was to be the title track of a techno album back in 1995 (according to Mayte at the time).
New Wave it ain't. And that's not a matter of opinion.
(And you can see from my profile that I'm not a newbie). |

All Day All Night. and. Hard To Get I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R. | |

. It's a fun, if insubstantial little ditty in the form of a very underdeveloped demo. . New Wave it isn't though. . More of an 'If I Had a Harem (1988, studio version)-type blues effort, by way of Prince's early 1980s weirdness. A distant relative of 'Onedayi'mgonnabesomebody'. Rumored to have been recorded with The Time's 'What Time Is It?' album in mind (possibly as 'Mink Kitty Kat'), and revisted again for the 'Ice Cream Castles' album. It's not known whether a completed version exists. . It's kind of Prince's own 'Suze Lovelace'. . This track leaked as a snippet about four or five years ago, and a full length Prince-vocal demo surfaced in the past couple of years. . [Edited 12/20/16 16:39pm] | |

I've resisted the temptation to respond to this thread. But I can't bite my tongue any longer. Prince's <quote>New Wave<unquote> outings certainly deserve an A for effort. But compared to real, critically-acclaimed masters of the New Wave genre, Prince's forays into that territory, sound almost workmanlike — sophomoric even. By "Masters Of The Genre", I'm talking about bands such as XTC — Blondie — Tears For Fears — Devo — Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark — Joy Division/New Order — Talking Heads — and so on… If Prince's take on New Wave, is a person's only frame of reference for that milieu, then they would be forgiven for thinking Prince's homages, is the be-all-and-end-all. That is a testament to Prince's general mastery of the songwriting craft. Again, not to take anything away from Prince's New Wave-ish dabblings. But to afficiandos of New Wave, Prince's forays into that area — though undeniably a respectable effort — are only marginally better than yer basic pastiche. In my opinion. “Sometimes People Don't Want To Hear The Truth Because They Don't Want Their Illusions Destroyed” — Friedrich Nietzsche | |
