Prince – Ol’ Skool Company
[rating:68/100]
He’s still got it!
While it’s not a spectacular track, or one that will be all over the radiowaves, Prince’s new track, “Ol’ Skool Company,” is something worth listening to.
Debuted last week on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, “Company” features Prince’s trademark soulful, groovy crooning and mixture of funk and rock that not many artists have mastered. Add that to his as-always phenomenal stage presence, a beastly harmonica breakdown in the middle, and a gospel melody at the end meshed with Prince’s wailing guitar, and you’ve got yourself a great Prince track!

New Rihanna – Bitch, I’m Special!
This is a freshly leaked DEMO from Rihanna’s LP4 recording sessions (or something?). I’m sure that with the million-dollar producers Rihanna has at her disposal, “Bitch, I’m Special” can be made presentable. But I do gotta give it to Rihanna — this demo  is loads better than the Prince-sampling “Sexuality.”Â

New Rihanna – Sexuality Clip
Rihanna completely owned the radio and the digital charts in 2007 and 2008. The little superstar is planning to take over 2009 as well with her fourth album. “Sexuality” is the first clip from LP4 to surface.Â
Rihanna is no stranger to borrowing yesterday’s huge hits to make some damage of her own. In the past, she has taken over with singles sampling Michael Jackson and Soft Cell. This time she’s hitting up Prince himself for a hook to what may be a future dynomite hit. “Sexuality” sample’s Prince’s brilliant 1981 hit “Controversy”.Â
I’m all for Little Miss Sunshine sampling Prince (or Michael Jackson, or Soft Cell. Especially Soft Cell) because it’s really helping her zero in on that techno-pop/rock sound that she has notoriously revived. In the past, I have gone as far as to claim that Rihanna is, in fact, the Nazarene that will issue the new pop revival pop music has been starving so long for:
