Why won't Prince make a song like this?

Growing up I could've easily mistaken any of these songs, despite not being my cup of tea when I was younger I've realized the profound effect these songs have had on me. How would you compare these songs, which came out first, what would you call this style and which of these songs is the best?

I know Max Martin produced "beautiful Life" last one but who produced the other ones? To me all of these songs really go together

What you're really saying is that you wish he'd be someone else.

His catalog couldn't be deeper and more varied, so if it's an issue he has yet to write a certain kind of song in your opinion, you probably pin too many of your musical expectations on him.

To be honest I just want to hear perspective from Prince's fans about these songs

What is this thread supposed to be about? Is this a troll thread?

You're linking 90s eurotechno trash and ask why Prince hasn't done the same?

It's because he is Prince and he is a respected musician among his peers and millions of people who want more depth from their music than the bullshit you've just linked.

You haven't listened to HitnRun Phase 1, right? He lowered his standards and released terrible crap music to appeal to the youth this year.

It's not just "famz" that think his catalog has great stylistic depth, it's actually obvious to anyone with decent knowledge of his body of work (except of course people who have been carrying a silly, pointless crusade fpr close to two decades, like bitter you).

If you want to hear views on these songs from Prince fans, it can be discussed in the correct forum

Prince has plenty of melodic dance music, if that's what appeals to you. Hell, he damn near invented it on "Controversy".

Have you heard "Le Grind" or "Escape" from around '88?

He made some stuff aimed at the same crowd (IMHO) on 1996's Emancipation: "Sleep Around", "Everyday Is A Winding Road".
