Prince To Debut "Cause And Effect"


The song is called “*Cause and Effect*,” and it’s a rocker – filled with
virtuosic guitar work, explosive drum breaks, a poppy chorus, trademark
shrieks and whoops, some intriguing lyrics (“if I had the chance to do it
all again / I wouldn’t change a thing except my next of kin”) and a call to
mankind (“you need compassion”). Opening with Prince’s classic pop smarts,
the last minute of the tune swerves into a propulsive minor key
guitar/strings/drum workout like we haven’t heard from him in years

…it seems clear that Prince wants us to know that he’s back, he’s recording,
and from the sound of it, and he’s inspired to create the new Minneapolis
sound and start a new chapter in his amazing career. It’s not known whether
“Cause and Effect” will be the first peek into a new record or just a
one-off Gift

Prince's "Cause And Effect" will premiere Friday!
