Let's Go Crazy

Are you as big a fan of Prince as I am? Are you a lover of his iconic Oscar and Grammy award winning album Purple Rain as I am? If so then you are in for a little delicious treat for your ears. Okay, who am I kidding, it's actually a GIGANTIC treat. Prince has recently announced that he will be dropping a solo album and an album with his group 3rd Eye Girl in September and has already released the finger popping first single Clouds. Following that up, Prince released a rock heavy version of Let's Go Crazy on the internet, and it's fucking sick.

The drums bring the song in and you are instantly assaulted by the heavy funky groove. Prince comes in not shortly afterwards singing the very familiar lyrics of Crazy and the guitars crank and crunch. He never gets to the second verse, he instead sets fire to the whole thing with a blistering solo which then drags the song into a monster version of the Edgar Winter Group's classic Frankenstein.

I doubt this sound will be on Prince's newest releases coming soon but this definitely reminds everyone just how proficient Prince is on guitar. This kind of playing has been missing from him lately and it's nice hearing him tear shit up again. Enjoy.
