“Adore” by Prince (from Sign O’ The Times)
This is just classic slow jam Prince. When different artists decide to do a song that sounds like Prince (Beck’s “Debra,” Ween’s “Freedom Of ’76.” My Morning Jacket’s “Evil Urges”), this is always the track that is most easily aped. My guess for why they do these kinds of tracks is that they can be so totally ridiculous, but totally awesome at the same time. Even on this track, listen to Prince take this Marvin Gaye style groove and start squealing all over it. It’s totally hilarious, but like most things Prince did on Sign O’ The Times, it’s holds up in spite of itself.
