Love Holly Rock!

I like it

Rock, Rock, Holly Rock.

The bass is all you need to take on the world.

I love the whole old school HipHop movie

First time I listened to it on Originals, I found it way too long and repetitive. Second time, it sounded a lot like a Don't Stop Till You Get Enough ripp-off. But when the video came out,I absolutely loved it! That's my favourite song of the album. When the song comes up, I always put the sound louder. . The video got a lot of hype the first few days, reaching fast 600.000 views on YouTube, then it stopped suddenly. I wonder what happened. I would have loved a video for Gigolo...I think it could have had some airplay on radio, it really sounds fresh and new, like Bruno Mars, the Weekend or Daft Punk.

don't stop til you get enough? by michael jackson? lmao ears need a tune up?

Thanks 4 the link as I never saw the movie.

Hab' ich doch gerne gemacht...Nevermind

I love it and I think Prince nails it more than Sheila does. I love Sheila, but I just don't think this song works for her as much.

.

That video is beyond awesome, even if its all Purple Rain era Princes when the song is clearly an 85/86 vibe to it.

.

The congas and piling drums really give it some bounce and the hook and melody is really catchy - Sheila E's the name, Holly Rock's the game, funky as eye wanna be, line up 100 and swear good god!

Agree with every word.

Love Holly Rock. I didn't listen to Sheila's version until after I'd heard Prince's, and to me, it doesn't compare. And I'm not one of those fans who automatically thinks a Prince vocal always trumps an associated artist one (I much prefer the original tracks from The Family to the Prince versions of the same songs). But Holly Rock just has a masculine energy to it, which sounds better coming from Prince than Sheila.

I am not hearing it much myself. Don't Stop is in B major, Holly Rock in D, and the main melodic motives are different - similarities in the 4/4 grooving percussion wise but not too much beyond that

Thanks man!

.

When I heard an album was coming out with Prince versions of songs for proteges and other artists, I was so excited and apart from the Kenny Rogers song, was not disappointed.

.

In amongst all the musicianship, songwriting, performance and production skills, we can overlook that he was one of the greatest singers of all time as well.

.

Agree about the Family except for one song, Screams of Passion (Prince's vocals - good lord!) but that album is meticulous and why it did not shoot to #1 is a mystery - probably his most cohesive pop album ever and masterful songwriting. Prince and the band doing Mutiny and High Fashion (Stuck up little rich girl) is just more cream!
