As I wrote before Insatiable is his worst ballad.

Insatiable? I think you spelled Arms of Orion wrong.

I Love U in Me deserves a mention for worst metaphor, among other things.

Metaphor? Feels rather straight forward to me.

Also, precision is not something I associate with passionate lovemaking.

Then you may wanna rethink your stroke. If your partner ain't never said, "Oh that's it, right there. Don't stop. Fuuuuuck yeah," then - try and try again.

There's also the chance he meant her lovemaking was invasive and potentially lethal but idk

Or that her lovemaking was -- depending on the country where it occurred -- incredibly expensive.

maybe prince liked to hire out an operating theatre in his local hospital when it was the big night.

I would love to know the Estate's reaction to Michael Bland spilling the beans saying they're working on a Diamonds and Pearls reissue. They're so tight-lipped about everything, I wonder if they're pissed at him or do they just shrug it off...

I believe he did not reveal anything special.

The Estate is working on different projects all the time.

They said exactly that various times in various interviews.

Nothing new here.

-

much as i respect and like michael bland, and the other early npg members, it is weird to hear them say things about how they were the best band he had had, or they could do things other prince bands up til then couldnt, when the band that preceded them was basically the 87/88 band. i mean, the npg were good, for sure, and they were def different to princes other bands, but they could do things that the SOTT/lovesexy band couldnt? idk.

the estate will post about many things.

doesnt mean they are all going to become SDE releases.

What radio station played -- or is STILL playing?! -- Money Don't Matter? I don't think I ever heard that most boring of all Prince songs on the radio.

I never "loved" the song either, but it's fine in the context of the album.

They gave this one a lot of attention, with a Spike Lee video (weren't there two videos?). Maybe it was topical for the Desert-Storm era?

no one cares about anniversaries that much.

the SOTT SDE came out in 2020, which was no anniversary year, and yet it still made a big mark.

so all will be okay.

I don't know about you, but I'd resigned myself to this year's SDE being Diamonds & Pearls because of the 30th Anniversary, and I'm going to be a little pissed if it's still the next release, when far more deserving albums like Parade, Lovesexy, insert-practically-any-title-here haven't yet had the same treatment.
