Prince: "Crimson and Clover" (Video)

· by

"Crimson and Clover," off Prince's recently released LotusFlow3r, is being held up as proof that Prince has completely lost everything that made him great, because it's the only song on the album that is worth saving, and it's a cover of the Tommy James and the Shondelles original. Prince's version just got a psychedelic video, and while it does feature some nifty guitar god heroics from the Purple One, and a weird mash-up of "Wild Thing" near the middle, it's just kind of boring. It's a competent cover, to be sure, but this is from the guy behind Purple Rain, not some newbie with no ideas who's trying to make a name for himself.

 

LotusFlow3r, packaged with MPLSOUND, is out now at Target stores. [Culture Bully]

Its pretty kool, only Prince could pull it off, Rock vault song from a "complete" musician & performer.
Its time Prince hits the big screen again. I have dreams that he would star as Jimmy Hendriks in a Film about his short life & music.
Only Prince can pull this one off & do J.H's moment in time justice. to make it one of those true great movies, by a performer dedicated for a performer.
Prince is the rightful heir to the throne on the planet of music.
