It seems, that "Cinnamon Girl" will be the new 7" in the UK. Release-date: 21.06.2004
Look at "www.amazon.de". You can already order there this new single.
Peace & B Wild!
The New Power Man

dont like to brag but i told you so

yep, i saw it on the Music Week poster showing forthcoming album and single releases in HMV at the weekend. cant remember the release date though sorry..

its up at amazon uk for pre-order...http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00029YF64/qid=1085497488/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_8_3/202-6434992-1997429

He sould have done a remake of Cinnamon Spider by Jack Off Jill instead.

Hold up...wasn't it reported on some thread here that there would be no singles released to retail from Musicology??? Don't tell me that every piece of news made into a thread on this site might not be accurate!!

Along with IIWTMIYL and Reflection,CG is one best songs on the album.

PURE SHIT!!!!!

It will probably do quite well in the UK. It's radio-friendly enough and hopefully it'll save the album which is already falling way down the chart.

I reckon he must be bored of this album and has another one to release. There' s no other reason for releasing Cinnamon Girl with it's strikingly shit lyrics and 80s production.


If he had half a brain, illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance would be the next single.


oh well.

Ah okay, so it's just the next single for the UK. Well, good move I guess, but ICPC is ten times stronger as a single. Why? One word: Chorus. ICPC's chorus is catchy as all hell, and Cinnamon's is not.

before listening to it, some friends of mine who already listened to the song bashed it, but I really like it. It´s a soft rock, with nice guitar. Very accessible melody. Who knows if it would be a good choice for a single?
USA seems to have some passion for soft rock, maybe it works.

cinnamon girl was always the ovious choice to be the next single in europe...it is very catchy, radio friendly and upbeat and reminds me of raspberry beret a little bit. when i first listened to the album, it was the one track that jumped out and said single. yes it might not be his strongest song but it will give the album a boost and get some all important airplay over here which call my name will not.....good move,sony.

But the production of ICPC is so ... 1992. I'm having such a hard time digesting this one. Lyrically it's kinda clever, but I don't see mainstream digesting it either...not from Prince at least.

I love the guitar playing at the end of 'Cinnamon Girl'...now that's infectious! I thought this song would be a good pick for any day & age...

Cinnamon Girl is a nice song. I heard it only once from a (Spanish) radio channel and I liked it toute de suite.

Couldn't you use another expression as "infectieus"?

blackboab said:

agree fully

Cinnamon Girl is possibly the worst song Prince has written, It's awful in my opinion, down there with Cherry Cherry on NPS

Cool! I love Cinnamon Girl

I reckon its a great choice, when i first played musicology my friend heard cinnamon girl and started singing along, finishing with "i love that song", lol she didn't believe me when i said the album only came out that day. If that don't make a good single then what does????? Are they not releasing to vinyl any singles here in the UK tho, as i was wondering when musicology was gonna come out... ,

I like Cinnamon Girl.. catchy....and good guitar..

Of course you mean Exodus

And I like Cherry Cherry, it's cute and funny.

Great choice 4 a single bcuz there is substance in the lyrics and it's poppy as anything thats out right now!

I think the thing that's difference about Prince singles is that he comes from a day when pop singles were written another way. There's a lot more production value on today's singles, so there's also a chance for things to sound too polished today, and the thing about Prince's music is that while it can sound downright brilliant, you can tell that Prince doesn't do his singles the same way.

I can see your point. Life O' the Party is the same way. they're both bouncy and make you dance, but like I said in my post about Cinammon Girl, Prince produces his songs according to the era he came up in, so he doesn't go by today's standards. Folks had that problem with him back a few years ago - but whaddya do about that?

Cinnamon Girl is going to be huge..it's the track most talked about lately when you do a google news search about Musicology..i HOPE it's eventually a single in U.S
