BLACK SWEAT...Funky in a neptunes kinda way...he's singing in his falsetto...(ala kiss) the track definitely has some kind of commercial appeal...no real sing along chorus but out of all the attempts in the last 6-10 years at getting a radio hit thats current yet princely this could be it...first impression KISS MEETS THE NEPTUNES...
highlights The kiss vocal attitude...and the attempt by prince to imply some of his former nastiness...at one point he says when i count to 3 your gonna scream like a white lady ...its funky as i said before in a neptunes kinda way...I dont dig the doctor dre-esque synth line that plays throughout the chorus' and intro...reminds me of pussy control or gangsta rap in the mid 90's.

BEAUTIFULLOVEDBLESSED a nice soulful mid tempo tune...not diggin the beat too much sounds like an update of a familiar drum loop in fact its pretty much the beat from COME ON off of New Power Soul...the verses kinda make me yawn...tamar sings the first verse...prince sings the 2nd verse..and they both do add libs as the tune continues...theres a "SORTA" rap in the middle section by tamar...
highlights at 4:30 we get some prince funk...the guitars are nasty !!! think the end of illusion coma pimp circumstance....but better !!! funky ass guitar and popping bass !!! this saves the song for me...
not exactly my kinda thing but for the groove at the end its worth it !!!


Thanks to the angel that hooked me up with these two tracks...I ow you some funk in return...
