On my first listen of Hit N Run all I could think was "what the gently caress did I just buy", but I am solidly digging it on repeat listens. X's Face, Like a Mack, June, and 1000 X's and O's are the standouts. It's good to hear Prince being weirdly experimental again, and there's some serious flashes of funk and rock brilliance scattered through the EDM, on which your tolerance of will be crucial. All in all, a pretty exciting album, even if it takes a bit to get going. As per tradition, some are cringeworthy, some are great.

Loved phase one, stoked that this is already dropping. Is this getting a physical release or what?

chime_on posted:Yeah, but the shows don't sell out, generally. The last time I saw him, everyone entering the venue got to just head down to the closest seats because the venue was like half empty. I don't know what Prince shows you've been to, but here in the Bay Area tickets sell out like crazy anytime he comes by. He packs the house, arena or small venue.

I went to the Oracle Arena show on the 4th, it was incredible. Purple Music was played, as was Dirty Mind, Thieves in the Temple, Venus De Milo, and The Beautiful Ones in full. Here's a full setlist http://www.princevault.com/index.php/04_March_2016 They also handed out Hit N Run Phase 2 on the way out, so I finally got to listen to it. It's a step back from how fresh and exciting Phase 1 sounded, with some really insipid tracks like Screwdriver and When She Comes, but it has a solid, meaty middle portion in Stare, Xtraloveable, and Groovy potential. Also closes with some pretty solid tracks. It's all the way a funk and R&B Prince album as opposed to the experimental nature of the last one, but pretty forgettable by comparison. Still, stoked to have my hands on it, seeing as a physical release has yet to pop up anywhere. man nurse fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Mar 8, 2016 |
