Hey, I didn't knew you speak Chinise?

People may hound my ass 4 that but I only loved Clare when he was with Rufus. He kinda lost that "IT" when he started arranging 4 other artists.

After he joined our main man, he had some good moments over here and there and thats it(Pink Cashmere is the highlight of his work tho).

the obvious answer on a Prince site would be Clare Fischer. he's good, but he's a bit of a one-trick pony. it's all pastels (mostly pinks and oranges) with him.


if we're talking about people who arrange strings for pop songs/artists, i'd say Paul Buckmaster is good. i like Craig Armstrong and Michael Columbier as well.
