True indeed it's a simple song that could have been written in his sleep, but the music is very cool. The lyrics are pretty lame and his vocals are scratchy and bad.Lyrically it sounds like it was written by one of todays modern R&B artist. No true artistry in the flow of the words or their meaning. Pretty cool for a freebie though.

I think the track would make a fairly good B-side, but an album!?

Its this "middle Of the road" vibe that I'm hoping P finally moves away from. He's been stuck in a rut too long.

Its like asking for a whole album full of tracks like Silly Game.

But, everyone to their own!

lol, do you think tRC is middle of the road? i cant have an informed opinion on it as i havent heard it end to end but from what ive heardits not. as for WDUWM2D...i really like it, not sure about a whole album of this vibe, and i cant think of where it would go in an album, i guess around track 4 or 5, like dorothy parker

No i'm sure u are not the only one. The problem with alot of u fans is that u have been so spoiled that u feel everything the man creates must somehow change your perspective on the universe or something. It a nice little song. Very warm,jazzy, and laid back. A gentle groove. Fits very well with "reflection" (which get better and better with each listen for me). FunkyStrange u seem to be one of the folks on here who always see the glass as half empty. Your problem is your lack of perspective. Remember Einstein only had one "theory of realtivity" in him. Prince can't keep blowing your mind thats what other artists are for. At this point I'm just happy that Prince is still as grandly creative as he is.

oh man get real. Change the universe ?

All want is some decent music not this drivel that my dead dog could come up with.

I think alot of people will agree with this...

It used to be that his 2nd , hell even 3rd rate songs were still better than anyone else's best songs but sadly that is no more.

His 2nd rate songs are worse than others, (TRC and a few odd tracks aside) the last 5-6 years has been a total wasteland of turds.

But I am not totally negative, I really hope he does make a half decent album sometime soon, that much is true.

The Likeliness of that actually happening is another thing altogether...

you thought 'silicon' was turd? beautiful strange, jadakiss, reflection, paradigm w/george clinton, pearls before the swine, avalanche, supercute was aiight, when will we be paid, when will i lay my hands on you, here on earth, madrid 2 chicago, props and pounds was ok, high, daisy chain (minus that fuckin rap), and a few others. he just makes bad choices. he should have taken more care in preparing those music club tracks. he might have been able to come up with a few decent public releases. a track here and a track there has no focus. there is actually some pretty good material to choose from since he went independent. but it is all cluttered. counting some of the better material from the music club, a few tracks from one night alone piano cd, the truth album, trc, it is not so bad as everyone makes it out to be. he just needs direction instead of random releases. i think hearing isolated tracks takes away from what might make more sense in the format of an album.

I'm not familiar with FunkyStrange's previous posts, but Tricky99 makes excellent points, especially that last one.

Funny your reply exactly compliments what i said about your attitude. U are extremely negative about his music. Just because u wish prince would make "a half decent album" doesn't count as a positive statement. Anyone who rants that the music prince is making now is a "wasteland of turds" but still hangs around to comment and listen must have an affinity for 'shit'. So how much 'shit' will u need to hear before u get enough? And since your 'dead dog' can produce better music why not start a 'dead dog' org so we can all discuss fido's latest musical compositions. I mean really who has the problem here. I enjoy Prince's music so that's why I am here, u on the otherhand despise his output for at least the last '5-6 years' and still are here. Seems to be me u must an extremely obsessional person who has a need to inflict pain on your self. I suggest u seek help.

i like it as well but it's not in league with say Raspberry Beret or anything really memorable. i like it tho. i don't know if Prince should create an album in that vibe. it's to mellow. then again prince is always going to do what he wants right?
if he releases an album of mellow cuts then there you go.

Trick PUH-LEEEZE...

Every last one of us on this site is an extremely obsessional person who has a need to inflict pain on ourselves. Otherwise we would have stopped supporting Prince financially YEARS ago. You ain't better than anyone else...cut me, cut you, for both the blood is obsessed.

Oh, and Reflection from the very first time I heard it filled my heart with instant joy...it's Prince's rational, human, sweet side coming through. I really like that side of him.

What Do You Want Me To Do is okay...that beheaded line is so...I dunno, unnecessarily harsh. And as far as bare-bones mellow funk tracks, I personally MUCH prefer Madrid 2 Chicago. I play that cut FREQUENTLY.

so the org is only for people who like Prince's CURRENT output ? That seems to be what you are saying.
I like everything from about 81-96 thats a good 15 years of stuff I like - and just every single day people are talking about that time period here on the org. SO I shouldnt be here because I dont like his last album ?
Get fucking real.

and since the initial post said WHAT DO U THINK ?
I answered it - so what is your personal attack all about ?
If you dont agree with my opinin thats fine I dont give a crap but what's with these personal attacks ?? HUH ?

Looks like you are the extremely obsessional person who needs some help.

not me.
