StonePrince4.0 out of 5 stars · Jun 30
A 1995 vault cut and you can hear why it sat in a drawer as a maybe-someday: heavy beat, buoyant bass doing the heavy lifting, no sample to flip, just a pocket played live. Sandra St. Victor wrote it and handed him an actual hook to sit on, that icy-hand line. Prince treats the low end like he's the bassist in the room. Loses a little steam in the back third once the groove's made its point. Still, a funk tune this springy has no business gathering dust for 30 years.
