Roughly 2 and a half years ago I played this little party for Prince, and at one point he goes: Stop the music, I wanna play something. .... He opens his computer and plays a groove. Then this heavy synth hits and my 2 friends and I go simultaneously "oh shit!", he heard us and laughed. It was futuristic and so so good. Last night I heard Janelle Monae's new song. As soon as the synth came in, I went "oh shit! That's it!". He gave that to her. That man was such a pioneer, and so ahead of his time. I listened to Janelle's phone interview with Annie Mac yesterday, looks like Prince's beats and sounds will be thru out the album, she couldn't talk much, she choked up and said it's hard for her to talk about him, and that she misses him. This song is brilliant. Prince's genius continues to amaze me. I miss him 💜
