So I have to be honest… I heard Incubus’ cover of this song first, and I actually had no idea it was by Prince in the first place. I never listened to much Prince growing up just because my parents or sisters never really played him, but I’m glad his music is as timeless as he is and was. I love the build-up of the gospel sounds at the start and then the guitars and later drums come parading in. Such a feel-good song.
A wonderful upbeat song by Saint Motel that has recently gained a run with popularity.
Bum bada badabah dah….

“The sounds currently flooding my ear canals are so goddamn cheerful. With their charging guitars and all-conquering ‘Da Da Da’ refrains, The Raglans certainly recall the golden era of indie rock, particularly bands like Dirty Pretty Things and The Pigeon Detectives.” – Hot Press
“While on the road with his band, Fun, Antonoff began working on a new project during his time in different cities. For about a year he kept the project a secret until February 17, 2014 where the first single “I Wanna Get Better” was released along with the launch of Bleachers’ website, social media profiles, and a selection of tour dates. News of Bleachers was first publicly announced in a Facebook post by Brooklyn music studio Mission Sound in May 2013.
About making the album, Antonoff said, “I spent the past year working on the music but not talking about it, and eventually it became this psychotic alter-ego situation, where it was second nature to have this part of me that no one knew about. Except for a small group of people, most of which happened to be members of my immediate family, no one was aware that this music, or this album even existed … even though it existed so deeply to me.” Antonoff also cited that Bleachers was never meant to be a departure from his position in Fun, and that he will remain in the band.
Bleacher’s full-length album is due in the spring of 2014 from RCA Records.” – Wiki
