"Love" from 3121 was about their fights and probably the most insightful song into their relationship past the honeymoon phase. |

"on the couch" from musicology is most likely about Manuela
She probably got upset and made him sleep on the couch one night [Edited 1/18/23 9:00am] | |

Besides "she loves me for me", most of the Manuela songs describe her as a difficult woman. She might have been one of the women who stressed him out the most. [Edited 1/18/23 9:05am] |

No sure what that sing is but in it it says about a smug look on her face and singing dangling from her devil cigar? Sorry don't remember the exact words. | |

[Edited 1/18/23 9:05am] You're verging into Lipstick Alley territory with these comments. We really don't know his second marriage like that at all. | |

Well then M2 is in good company with other women who inspired Prince's vitriol in song: Vanity, Susannah, Kim B, Carmen, and Maybe all got their time to shine too. Some songs about his girlfriend when he wuz mad/frustrated at them: Something in the Water No Call U Computer Blue Thieves in the Temple Blue Light I Hate U Acknowledge Me I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore Silly Game Have A Heart There's more, I'm sure. This is just off the top of my head. I'd rather him write any of the songs above about me than so few songs I was barely in the narrative at all (aka Bria). | |

Or maybe it was just a healthy mature relationship with nothing to write about. He was 50 after all, he was past the stage of getting butterflies for a woman or playing toxic games. |

Look at songs like Call My Name (one of his best slow jams ever), The One, Somewhere Here On Earth, Love Like Jazz, etc... All mature love songs, hell Love Like Jazz might even be about Bria. What was on Prince's lung was on his tongue and if he wasn't writing songs about you and you were on his arm and he released an album for you..... Even Jill Jones got more airtime than that. Even Andy Allo got more airtime than that. | |

It’s a decent sultry song but the fact Prince got her to sing about the ‘the dirty blonde in 9 and half weeks’ was pure cheeky genius [Edited 1/18/23 13:45pm] [Edited 1/18/23 13:46pm] |

I guess Tamar wasn't sexy enough or sultry enough. A few songs on Elixer had been hanging around since at least when Tamar was around regularly. | |

I quite like Kept Woman as well. . You could be right about Everytime |

No way. "Everytime" is absolutely in my Top 5 Prince songs ever. Perfect, breezy bossa nova, something he had never done before. One of his most marvelous and underated ballads.

I feel the same way about "Everybody get on up" sung by Carmen Electra. |

[Edited 1/20/23 15:00pm] Top 5 ever? Good lord. What a joke! Btw he basically was doing LA Reid bops on the majority of his later records. | |

...which was the point of the post. ...where? Before or after the "would have"? I'm saying he basically did. I'm saying your premise is not just a fantasy as you depict it in your post. And that bossa Nova song is no more or less Babyface than other Zzz stuff like "Walk In Sand" and "Better With Time" and other snoozefests. | |

It's s0 perdy. Pairs nice with the official Bria video visuals. Top 5 may be hyperbole, but to discard every/all Bria material as trash or phoned-in is just as over-the-top. |

Even the dancier tracks are comedically benign. It's kind of a shame he tacked this record onto LF because both LF and MPLSound blow Elixer outta the water. Now, had he done his own vocals and not specifically built the songs to be sung by a thin voiced burly woman, perhaps songs like the title track (easily the best song on the offering) maybe he woulda been onto something. | |

"Something U Already Know" is nice too...she has a sexy voice...her voice reminds me of Mya ("Fallen" 2003)..i slept on Bria Valente's music big time. | |
