Not the heavily pop EDM...it can exist on its own merits without drinking at the water of hip-hop....
What this new Prince song is is a straight ahead dance pop song with a modern EDM type club beat....It's very Princely (live horns mixed with synths; sped up voice; weird lyrics....) but still has a modern gleam that you would find in a lot of other songs that go straight for the dance floors...
There is a lot more that goes into making a hit than just injecting the trends of the day...
U need the label-radio infrastructure or technological understanding (ie. using the blogging world and the Internet like it's second nature, something Prince ain't really about...)...
Prince is a 55 year old dude that does most of his damage in a live setting...It is what it is....
GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....
