Simple. That way others can communicate about it.

After all, it's about the music Wendy & Lisa contributed with a Prince song, “I Would Die 4 U”.

Information can be found here on the Red Hot site,

and also here specifically about W...tribution.

Live and let live, love and let love, right?

Wendy and Lisa :

“It’s hard to impress us with a cover of a Prince song, especially a personal favorite of ours (...)

We’d venture to say that Prince might’ve enjoyed some of the innovation of this version of the song.”

Perhaps he would indeed still have enjoyed it, knowing that he had an actually great love for these girls.

And also that he became somewhat softer, more open and more tolerant in his later years.
But of course he would have had to give his consent first.

And of that, we know how idiosyncratic/quirky and ambiguous Prince could be. -

By the way I like the song a lot. This version isn't better than the original, but it warms my heart knowing 'the girls' agreed ànd got permission to work on this iconic song once more.

Maybe they could've had the other Revolution members contributing too.

"I'm Not A Woman I'm Not A Man, I'm Something That You'll Never Understand."

... it fits perfectly with, and graces the whole project.

Agreed. I love this version of the song, and the whole premise of the project. It also has a new song from Sade, her first in years so that's a big deal also. Really cool of W&L to do this, and they chose exactly the right song imho - that lyric was so impactful for trans people of the era.

PS is it me or does she slightly fluff the "dove" line? Just a bit rushed maybe

I think it belongs in the Associated Artists forum.

There's no one there. Arguably this website is not active enough any more to separate off associated artists.

I am loving this.

It doesn't belong in the associates forum.
Because it's about “I Would Die 4 U,” a song by Prince.
(To me it is so much more important what Wendy and Lisa contributed to the highlights of Prince's life and music. Their contribution is widely recognized and not underestimated.
No other band member was ever so important in his growing life as a serious musician.
But that's a whole other topic )

I honestly find it rather peculiar that W&L have re-recorded this song.

Quite daring to be honest.

It certainly fits lyrically the concept of this new release perfectly.
And it shows that Prince is/was so much more regarding this discussed topic.
Prince's whole obscure gender issue, during the peak of his young fame, was actually an everyday topic in the music industry, magazines, etc. Remember?
We all got used to it, but this subject was definitely something between 1984 and 1988, on repeat.

I dare to say Prince loved every munite of it; the own create mystery, the controversy, the then unclear sexuality formula, that was played and received by the main stream media.

I like it
