"Prince releases a double A-side with Angie Stone featuring. She adds a spice to 'U Make My Sun Shine' and reminds me of Rosie Gaines back in 1991. Prince is impressive, too and his lyrics are typical on this tracks- sexual seductiveness and spirituality. But in 'When Will We B Paid?', he takes the rare step of singing a song not written by him. It was written by Randall Stewart but nevertheless we are left with a cousin of 'Purple Rain' and 'I hate U' with Prince's typiacl voice and cracking guitar solos which help to make this CD a cracking purchase."

A Superb Ballad...

""U Make My Sunshine" is definitely up there with the classic Prince ballads we know the Purple One is so capable of. Very smooth falsetto by Prince, with an angelic gospel sounding chorus thanks to Milenia and Kip Blackshire. Angie Stone really brings this song to life with her co-lead vocals. This songs deserves a great deal of airplay because it is one of the best RnB songs in an age where the musical style is tending to becoming monotonous. Truly magical."

He's name is Prince again

""When will i be paid" is a great song, Prince is a great talent, etc, etc. Ok. But i would like to thank Prince because he showed me Miss Angie Stone. She's just marvelous. I bought her two records, and they're bright. "You make my sun shine" is a good song too, but Stone's two solo albuns are better. And Prince's "Babylon Children", his last venture, is better too."
