Gettin' It In
I love this album too, my favorite track is Private Joy. But I think this might be when he lost the ears of most of his hard rock fans. I think tracks like this let people know he was evolving from the edgy underground rock look. It wasn't a single on controversy but up until that point it was the most pop sounding track he had ever created. The song sounds too new wave to fit in with anything in the dirty mind era. The use of synthesizers on the track make it new wave funk more like.
One of the things I Iove about prince is that his music is great but they sound even better live. This is back when Dez dikkerson was in the band and he could really slam on guitar.
