Riff: Prince – “What It Feels Like”

Sep 30, 2014

Everybody goes up and down in a life time love affair/Makin’ up just to break it up, blowin’ each other’s hair/What I wouldn’t give to have you/Right here next to me/Show ya what I really feel about ya/Kiss and you will see

from What It Feels Like lyrics by Prince

Good idea, slowing it down and bringing out a few more acoustic elements. There still is a sharp jolt of future funk and ear piercing falsetto, but even those are wrapped in the softest of silk. The new digs lends itself to slow romancing and like the boss he is Prince jumps right in and keeps in stride.
