Nothing Prince does surprises me anymore.

He pulled all of his music off of digital service providers (except for Tidal) and then he decides to premiere a new song on Spotify. I’m done scratching my head.

“Stare” is a fun little tune…nothing too taxing on the brain. Just Prince doing what he does best. Casual fans will smile at the nod to “Kiss” he makes in the second verse. Die hards will smile harder at the more blatant nod he makes to his 1979 album cut “Sexy Dancer” shortly after.

Mr. Nelson recently announced that he’s releasing a new album called Hit & Run-street date TBD. I assume this will be on it? Who knows? Are we still thinking about that 30th anniversary edition of Purple Rain? Or remastered versions of his classic albums? Does it even make sense to ponder these things? Just listen to the music, I guess.
