Maya Vik was recently featured in the Playboy 2013 Music Guide, and she's doing some shows in NYC right now. Linn drums galore. Also, she plays the bass.

They played a new song called Fixurlifeup, featuring his horrific new band, one of the worst songs I've heard in ages

This is the thing, I'd almost prefer it if Prince was making offensively bad shlock, but he's just treading on nothing now - I can't believe actual thought processes go into making tunes like this. It's like a demo song on Garageband.

I'd rather see The Revolution reunite than The Smiths. I saw Prince with these 3 chicks a few weeks ago and while the guitar player was decent the drummer was awful. Basically sounded like a bar band playing very boring rock music for 60% of the show and a bad rock band covering Prince classics the other 40%.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 24 May 2013 21:07 (ten years ago) link
h8 this band but i can't blame them, it seems like exactly what prince wants atm.

weird. when i saw them the drummer was very good, the bass player was fantastic, and the guitar player was technically quite capable but either didn't have or wasn't hired to demonstrate any interesting musical ideas. It's like we saw a completely different show. Crazy!

More like 'this is what someone with too many studio toys and not enough time to learn how to use them sounds like'. It's Manufacturer's Preset City.

Wasn't Songs in the Key of Life the first album Stevie did post-C&M? I think he knew what he was doing with that one. o_O
― MIGUEL 3D: THEY FLY @ U FACE (The Reverend), Saturday, 25 May 2013 21:07 (ten years ago) link
Yup. One of them accused him of just sticking with presets for everything. The songs and sequencing are strong enough to mask it, but there's no doubt that from a production standpoint the album is a big sonic step down from the four preceding it.
― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Saturday, 25 May 2013 21:31 (ten years ago) link
Well, maybe a "BIG" step down is overstating it. It just has a notably tinnier feel.
― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Saturday, 25 May 2013 21:32 (ten years ago) link
This is a Prince thread but you people are talking shit. Cecil and Margouleff were pissed that they didn't get credit for the work they did on Key of Life before they fell out with Stevie. Plus, that record makes brilliant use of the Yamaha GX-1 a.k.a. "The Dream Machine," which didn't have any presets IIRC. To the extent that Stevie did start using presets, it was in the 80s.
― Naive Teen Idol, Sunday, 26 May 2013 00:34 (ten years ago) link
yamaha gx-1 - definitely no presets on that thing. analogue didn't do presets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG7OIKT61Y4

Haha I mean : more than the usual.
This new song of Prince's is probably the last time I listen to any new thing he does. Pretty terrible. I wish he would just retire - or do an all acoustic solo tour or something - just a guitar and piano.

I think of his awesome 2004 tour as his farewell. He's been a different creature since then.

The problem with Prince is that while he never gave a shit, he's now living the wrong sort of don't give a shit.

Back in the day it was ok because he seemed to not give a shit about anything except the music.
