Prince & Kate Bush - Why should i love U (New Version)

[@tr377723]

This Version is so incredible. A deep spiritual record. Just beautiful music between two extraordinary unique artists. Kate Bush & Prince.

An amazing song

This is the version that i wanted for so long it need to be more clean and clear

[@funkcatbrown]

I’ve heard different versions. It’s amazing the journey a song goes through really. I’m still just blown away by the one that was released which to me is perfect. Great song! And of course any song is better with Prince and his input.

Prince's own engineer strongly disagreed, but he was biased. As am I, probably.

Is this the version he sent back to her?

[@christianschmitz5261]

Kate's chorus on the original demo (which starts around 0:54 mins) manages to destroy the groove, as the drum pattern suddenly drags & a disjointed chord progression sets in. This part must've instantly jolted Prince's musical instincts, and musically he was completely right to erase much of that segment and focus on the "why of all... ...why should I love you" part and embellish it with the multi-tracked vocals' response. Prince's guitar adds much-needed color to the song, and the keyboards in the beginning give an unusual minor-chord counterpoint to Kate's basic chords (at 0:30 mins). Prince gives form to something, that was either in an embryonic stage or just clumsily written. Handing the demo over to Prince is perhaps an indication, that Kate herself didn't know what to do with the song.

Excellent take.

I totally agree...many years ago Michael Koppelman (Paisley engineer) sort of said Prince went overboard but, I LOVE the version on her Red Shoes album

[@Steakfinger]

I like how Prince screwed up the background vocal lyrics and had to re-record them in private so as not to embarrass himself. Kate’s music (which I do not care for), is not typically groove oriented, so destroying a groove is not really a problem. It’s more interesting than constant repetitive drum machine droning.

[@silverascal]

The “original,” with the lyrics about black birds, Kate singing about wanting to sing like a black bird, would have been just fine had Kate left Prince out of it. So much of this collaboration still doesn’t make sense to me.

[@BigWill2k]

@Keith Bloomfield-DeWeese You're right, it makes little sense. It feels like a marketing move for the album set up by the record label. The demo is beautiful, these versions sound like novelty tracks.

[@Shanihardy38]

Other version sounds better

wrong way should say kate bush and prince
