I’ll give it a miss.

Too few new tracks on the album as it is to further dilute that brand new album experience that I’m looking forward to.

yeahthat

If half the album ends up being "preveiwed" or "debuted" somewhere, why even bother to buy it? W2A was enough (and it's basically an intro-before-the-curtain-goes-up song), so I'll mute the rest until the album ships.

I'm enjoying the rants on social media by 'fans' that have issue with a track being premiered on a UK radio station.

Listening to it now here in Belgium.

Good song. Like Hit n Run Phase 2, a more grown up, jazzy Prince.

Enjoyed that! Maybe too overtly inspired by Curtis Mayfield, but still has a funky purple twist on it.

I clicked on BBC Sounds and thinking I was too late to hear it live. For a couple of seconds I thought, "Oh, they're playing a Curtis Mayfield song." And then I realised.

I like it.

Interesting! I hear the Curtis influence now that you’ve mentioned it, but my first thought was Isaac Hayes (I think it’s the wah—wah guitar). I love it.

I have a somewhat lukewarm feelto it. It was solemn,mellow and Princeinstory-mode. I like the cuddlesof jazz here and there however...excitement is missing in his voice in the last two releases of this album. I hope there is something on it that will jam, I admit working an overnight i yawned half way in. Need a single that will pick-me-up. Anyway. Maybe it will fit within the context of the album, but I give it a 2.7/5

Agree on the Curtis Mayfield vibe, and there's nothing wrong with that as Curtis is great!
