Prince - "Keep On Lovin' U" (200?) **HQ**

[@LarryBridgeman]

This subtle use of Anita Baker`s "Giving You The Best That I Got " sure got this boy`s head nodding then we get Prince`s unique word play and mercurial voice meandering between the beat and melody this is simply breath taking.

[@teddygee7859]

Prince Rogers Nelson can take any sample of any song and bless it. It sounds like he’s just having fun. Prince can do that.

[@braviafeed]

Man that is cold!!! I love it! STILL miss ya Prince!

[@rickvandijk]

I’m 59, been following Prince for 40 years and am still baffled by his choices for what and what not to release. Unbelievable he decided to keep this in the vault. Glad it’s out here now.

[@jeffs9300]

Same here! I'm 55 and have been a super fan and collector since 1982. Never heard this joint. I've always thought that his unreleased stuff was better than most of his released stuff. Such a legend! And it keeps on comin'!!

[@carriepoe9106]

I too have been following Prince since the late 70’s. This song is amazing to say the least. So glad it’s finally reached the surface so we all can enjoy it. Oh and I’m 55 years old. 😂

[@IrnBruNYC]

This is one of my favorite Prince songs of the 2000s.

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

[@Yazistar]

This made my day!! Purple Love forever

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

According to Princevault website: Keep On Loving U is an unreleased song, assumed to be from somewhere between 2005 and 2007. It was likely recorded at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

[@mariopavlo8372]

Does Prince know how to start a masterpiece, or does Prince know how to start a masterpiece? His vocal phrases just b4 the music starts is genius. He has done it so many times over the years. Those are always my favorites, they set the tone and get the juices flowin. Absolutely a unique musical genius that i love more than anything. Yes, more than anything, no exaggeration

[@Daniel-kg5py]

I knew after 5 seconds of listening, this must be a masterpiece. That's how it happened to me often with new Prince songs. At first I just couldn't believe why he didn't publish it himself. But it has been confirmed after several hearings. Thank you Prince💜

[@canalisha]

Come on now!!! Let's go! 5 seconds is all I need.

[@allanya74]

[@m.sharon]

That piano is definitely inspired by Giving You the best That I Got, but thats what we will find from the vault, songs/gems that he didnt quite finish. Should be released with Ms. Bakers approval cause it gives new life to the melody. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@djwillpowerws]

It’s a sample of Anita’s song. It’s looped.

[@mariopavlo8372]

Id say a bit more than "inspired by" but it doesnt matter. My God, Prince, ive been a fan my whole life(im 49) and u inspired me to be a musician.i live 4 hearing new songs from the vault. Another absolute winner. I can tell exactly where the inspo came from and can see him rushing to the studio to pour out the genius. Lu

[@trenawawrzyniak4397]

Totally awesome, his genius knew no bounds

[@rickvandijk]

Nerdy as I am, I found the exact sequence that Prince sampled; look for the extended version of Giving you the best I’ve got and this progression is played at 3:45 seconds in. Prince added the linn drum and a little bit of (synth) bass to make it his own. You’re welcome 💕

Incredible. Imagine how amazing this would be with a great mix. I love your music Prince - you NEVER cease to amaze and enthrall me.

[@ReubenLaMar]

This song is a VIBE! I’d like to think this was likely recorded around the 2007 to likely 2010ish era because that’s when he was revisiting the MPLSound. Think “Future Baby Mama”, “Future Soul Song”, anything off of the “MPLSound” album, and the “20ten” album as well. But yes… easily could’ve been an R&B hit had he released it. Would’ve love to hear it on “Art Official Age” album. Would’ve fit nicely. The estate should find a way to still release this gem!

[@pettyceddy9538]

[@vonwonmusicinc.4560]

[@inimegblue7263]

It's funny, Prince was never much of a sampler, so this is unexpected, but to sample that song?!?!? It's definitely out of the box for him and i think i like it haha

[@phunkidruma]

It is played not sampled...reinterpretation

[@inimegblue7263]

Idk. I sample flip myself. That sounds like a loop to me, but of course I could be wrong. It sounds too much like the original for P to be playing it imo.

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

Prince sampled Frank Zappa many times and also Hendrix

[@inimegblue7263]

@Cormac-jd2kx I knew about the Hendrix sample for Tick,tick,bang, but I never knew he sampled Zappa. Which songs did he sample?

[@cjsvoiceworks6008]

There is a Woman from a Frank Zappa recording saying, "Bizarre" which Prince used in "6" (End of The World Mix) by Madhouse, as well as several joints on the Black Album and it is also buried in the mix in, "Christopher Tracy's Parade" on the Parade album. It actually is a standard sample on the Fairlight Sampler Prince used in the late 80s.

[@JudeChukwuemeka]

Prince is back!

[@keithupchurch7928]

Prince sampled Anita Baker's, Giving You The Best That I Got!👍

[@batashanbengotham7189]

Good catch!

[@cjsvoiceworks6008]

Prince probably replayed it note-for-note.

[@justmyself1000]

Wow! Thank You! I have quite a bit of unreleased stuff...and I didn't have or never heard of this one! Very nice tune! We say this ALL the time....He shoulda released it! Just read on the org....this is brand spanking new! Thank You, again!

Looks like someone was an Anita Baker fan. So am I. Keep in mind she wrote Giving You The Best that I've Got. I had to check this on Wikipedia. I wonder if she knew about this recording? She may have refused him the right to release this. Prince was big on permissions and I don't recall him looping any other major stars sample. Many have looped his, most famously MC Hammer. Great post!
