Vanity 6 - Nasty Girl (Ronando's Wanna Cum With Me Edit)

Oh gawd, it's hump day and we're in serious Prince funk mode. The classic Vanity 6 1982 sex ode Nasty Girl is on heavy repeat and even though Prince wrote and produced under his The Starr Company alias there is no way denying it's a legendary P-funk jam. Amsterdam based DJ Ronando 5's Wanna Cum With Me Edit is too good and plays like a freaky and fun 12" that just aches to be played loud to a big crowd and get 'em doing dirty moves and shake their money makers 'til dawn. 30 years on and Denise Matthews who sings the lead as Vanity is a born again Christian and Preacher who's told her congregation if they hear it to keep praying for the Holy Spirit. Since the beat is so infectious we doubt they'll have time but here's trying! Also, this legendary performance on Soul Train is bound to get your groove to kick in!

Jessie Ware - Love... Thy Will Be Done (Martika Cover)

Holy trinity! The Martika and Prince 1991 classic collaboration Love... Thy Will Be Done is so insanely awsome we get goose bumps every time we listen to it. Super talented and much hyped Jessie Ware has created a gorgeous cover that stays true to the original but her voice adds a fresh approach to it. A hard task but a sweet outcome! Have a listen below. Thoughts? The production is obviously a demo so can we hope for a final mix to appear as a b-side? Here's hoping! Thanks Matt! 

Prince - Rock and Roll Love Affair - Video Premiere

...and just like that we have new Prince material in our lives! He casually uploaded the video to Rock and Roll Love Affair - and it's a great and classic track from the master. This comes a few years after his infamous crusade against the internet declaring it "completely over" and banning his own music on youtube. How awesome to see he's changed his mind. He's even smiling in the video! Happiness is a good thing! It's like the last 25 years never happened; the horn section is tight, sexy 80's synth and bad gals handling the instruments. And obviously Prince's amazing voice front and center, like butter we tell ya. Check it out belooow! Gonna be real interesting to find out if a new album is in the works too!

Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U + 4th and Vine - Later... with Jools Holland

Sinéad O'Connor had to cancel her entire 2012 tour earlier this year due to health problems as you might remember. So it's extra special and wonderful to see her in such amazing form performing at Jools Holland last night. She did her massive breakout 1990 hit Nothing Compares 2 U and new track 4th and Vine from her stellar 2012 album How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? and it's so damn good. We love the added depth in her voice that lends both new and older material such amazing richness and dimensions. We wish you lots of love and happiness Sinéad, and cannot wait to see you live soon!

Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover (Dimitri From Paris Re-Edit)

We love Prince and his first hit I Wanna Be Your Lover from 1979 has got to be one of the world's finest singles. A week ago we danced to the Dimitri From Paris Re-Edit at the Marc Jacobs party we went to in Copenhagen. We're crazy about the adaptation of the 2002 live version in this subtle re-edit. Our heart exploded with happiness on the dancefloor for sure right there in the MJ store.
