A little Off-Topic, but I love Prince! 0(+>
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Prince-
Topic: Prince, cool as any vamp
Black Sweat video


The above link is to the Purple Dawn website, and it has the new "Black Sweat" video, which I am absolutely MAD for. "Cooler than Freddie Jackson drinking a milkshake," as OutKast said in "So Fresh, So Clean", and 1000X sexier. It's funny to see him smile, as poker-faced as he was for so long (except for the "Kiss" video), but he looks so beautiful. It's no wonder he's hit skins with some of the most beautiful women in the world: Carmen Electra, Kim Basinger, Mayte Garcia, Sheena Easton, and probably more that were better at keeping a secret...

Jesus, this man is sooo hot...Is it just me, or does he look younger than he did in 1984, when "Purple Rain" came out? You know, I have a VERY short list of singers who should act, and normally Prince is NOT on it (I loved him in "Purple Rain," but the rest...but I LOVE TO HEAR HIM SING). However, if there was a vampire movie in which he could be--and he doesn't even have to flash a fang--
hell, he doesn't even have to ACT, just allow someone to film him walking through a dark alley...

He has proven he doesn't age very much, the body is still in great shape, and he's limber as all hell, so why not him? Sure as hell would top some folks trying to pass themselves off as the immortal undead...

But the video...black and white, with many close-ups of his face, and a beautiful black lady dancing in different outfits: pvc catsuit, and a sequinned dress. She's freak-dancing him, all while he's just chillin' in a shiny suit. He's alternately getting hot 'n bothered, drinking from a tea cup, flirting with the camera, and singing. A lady DJ pops in once to mix the music, complete with a close-up of a vinyl copy of the "3121" album on the turntable.

The song is bass-heavy, and it reminds me of "Hot Thing" and "It" from "Sign o' the Times"; it also reminds me a little of "Let's Work," but it may be the sample of someone saying the word "work" all through the song.

Final analysis: if the rest of the album is this good, I may have to go pick it up in March.
