One of the best decisions he made. He removed it at the last second. It probably would’ve crowded the mix honestly. Let them drums breathe

this feels like shade

How y’all feel about the cover

I mean count the sounds in the songs it’s not many

Eh.

Makes you question why they even did it

Because it’s Prince

one of the top 10 songs of my childhood being surrounded by nothing but 80s pop

I just can’t do it knowing what’s Prince’s version sounds like

Lmao

Thank you Bow and Arrow

cause he was locked in harder than anybody ever in '84

Crazy he was even more locked in in 1985-1988 and 1992-(mid) 1995.

What's going on in the GIF.

u wud nt git it

Nah only '87 compares

i never noticed the lack of bass

Listening to it now I don’t see how a bass would work frfr

SOTT was recorded in 1986 entirely.

His voice is so low and the main vocal melody is mostly the chord progression’s root notes, making his voice serve as the bassline. So the lack of a bassline is easy to miss, it’s extremely cool arrangement sorcery at play

imagine in 2025 a song with no bassline

That's crazy

You have such an a***ytical mind

Love it

🫶🏾 I learned from folks like Prince

I can imagine that too bass isn’t always needed and sometimes it’s refreshing to not hear it!
