Prince - Come (1994) - The Facts You DIDN'T Know

- čas přidán 3. 07. 2024
- Prince's 15th album, COME was released in 1994 at the height of his fight with Warner Bros. Prince himself downplayed the significance of the album, instead choosing to focus on the upcoming Gold Experience and his 1800 NEW FUNK compilation. Despite this, the album is heralded by many fans, reached Number 1 in the UK charts and contains several all time Prince classics. Join us as we dig deep into the facts!
We recently participated in a series of Twitter "Megathreads" about this album. You can find my thread about "Pheromone" here: / 1273741514481549322

What's your favorite song on this album? Let us know, and please subscribe if you enjoyed this video! 💜
Actually, I think the 1st 3 songs on the album make up the best 3 song groove in Prince's career.
The "Letitgo" remix by J-Swift was awesome. The original "Come" was great too.
Papa! is still my favourite, it's got such a haunting sound and an emotional punch. Thanks for the facts!!! 💜☔️

Loose!
Highly underrated album.
This album is so underrated. It’s top 5 for me. 94-96 yielded some of Princes best work.
I hope the estate releases a deluxe edition that includes come, gold experience and chaos and disorder and all the associate tracks
I was 24 years old back then and it was a wonderfull and exiting time to be a Prince fan! :-)
80 s. Was amazing
I got this CD at midnight the day it came out. There's an instrumental version of Loose on the Prince Interactive CDROM. I still have the CDROM. :-)
Wow had no idea that vanity in orgasm from a '81 recording!
This is the Prince album that had marvelous remixes along with the originals. Plus 100-New-Funk was my Jam, still got the cassette.
The entire album is a banger❣
I believe Solo is his most underated song. Those vocals are so captivating! I loved the maxi single of Letitgo Especially the use of The Ballad of Dorothy Parker drum sequence.💜
Best song on the album for me is Dark. He performed a version of this song in Monaco back in the day with an absolutely killer guitar solo.
So was "Letitgo" a bit of a message to WB to LET Prince Go? Or at least their making demands or suggestions?
Best songs are easily Come and Space.
I LIVE for these “Facts you didn’t know” shows & this was no exception! This makes me love the “Come” album even more learning that much more about it. Thank you for doing this Casey and i can’t wait for next episode!
This album is an experience to listen to. When I first heard it, I was blown away, simply because it was under promoted. Still my favourite album, among so many of his spectacular albums! 💿
I love this album that, just like you, l consider hugely underrated. My favourite song is the title track. Thank you for your work on the Genius.
I'll do a top five:
1 Pheromone
2 Dark
3 Come
4 Letitgo
5 Papa
But in all honesty, I love the whole album. This and The Gold Experience were the two I listened to the most from Prince's 90s body of work, and they still rank high among my favorite Prince LPs. To me, there are several strong cuts on both Come and The Gold Experience. It all indicated that he was searching again musically, and with a vengeance ✌️
I agree. Gold Experience is probably my favorite Prince album. So many awesome tracks. So underrated. I was a kid in the 90's so I discovered most of this years later.
THE WHOLE ALBUM! One of
My favorite albums of all time!
Great and sadly underrated album. My favorite song? “COME” of course; a masterpiece which, again, is not enough heard of. I was 14 back then and I remember that summer. What a great year!
I was 28. Yes I was obsessed
My favorite song of come album is space ❣️ the purple one will always be remember 💜⭐💯
I have been into Prince since the very beginning....4 me every album dropped is like a new and exciting chapter from the book of Prince... I have so many favorite albums, so many favorite cuts.... It's hard 2 name my favorite selections.... they are all badass!!!...Come is one of my favorites.... and my favorite songs from this cd are..... Pheromone.... Come.... Letitgo..... Papa....Solo, and Space.... this entire cd is special 2 me, not only 4 the music, but also the fact that my late husband bought it 4 me 4 our`9th wedding anniversary as we both were huge Prince fans.... besides, what better way 2 spend your wedding anniversary than getting down with hot, sexy Prince music and a romantic candle lit dinner.... not necessarily in that order.... what a wonderful memory...... Thank u posting this informative review.... and thank u Prince Rogers Nelson 4 all that u gave 2 us over the years.... we love and miss u more than u could ever know..... Welcome 2 the Dawn......😘🌬🕊☮✝🎸🎹🎻🎺🎼💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💞
His greatest album..pure balance between shivers and funk.A hell of a musical ride!
For me
1. Come
2. Letitgo
3. Dark
4. Loose
5. Space
Love this album!!!
Come is still one of my fave Prince lp's
One of my favorite Prince albums, especially "Come", "Pheromone", "Race", and his greatest remix: "Space (Universal Love Remix)"...
Sadly, on the morning of April 22, 2016, when I read the tragically, crushing news, I was listening to "Dark"... It took me over two years before I could listen to that song again.
Space (Universal Love Remix) .... 'crooked letter, crooked letter, crooked letter, i'
czcams.com/video/F06KplXxXQs/video.html
I was wondering hours ago when the next video will be out, always look forward to these videos! Cheers!
It's a amazing album i played it over and over day in and day out. It was somewhat a crazy period 4 me back when it was released and I found so much comfort in it somehow! I truly hope we get this released as a vinyl in the near future
So glad to see this album get some love! There are individual Prince songs I prefer over the tracks on Come, but in terms of albums, I think it might be my favorite collection of his songs. The atmosphere is so wonderfully sleek and dark - it's wild how well the songs live together given the disparate sources of tracks (even by his standards). The segues are a factor of course, but the whole minimal R&B, New Jack Swing sound that Prince cultivated on these tracks is a joy to listen to.
I usually listen to the album in full so it's hard to separate one song out as best, but "Dark" is a highlight for me. As is the brilliant title track - over 11 minutes long (this version anyway) and not a second wasted. Such a cool downtempo vibe throughout!
When I first saw Prince live in April 93 at the Universal Ampitheater in LA, Come was blasted on the speakers before the show began. I dont remember it having any lyrics or horns, just the beat and the female voice saying "come". It was memorable though and I knew what it was as soon as I heard the title of the new album. During that show he also played bits of Loose and the lyrics to Race during Purple Rain.
Absolutely underrated album. Shame on people for dogging this. Where are your ears
The album is great. I remember watching The Beautiful Experience in the UK on TV and being blown away by the tracks only to be disappointed with the album version of Come and the album missing some of TBE tracks. Nevertheless, it's still a set. I wonder how many unreleased tracks from this era exist as I really liked the new power trio
The Come album is indeed very understated. However certain parts of the Purple family knew its value long ago. I had discovered it after his passing. I was shocked as to how cohesive it is. There are no filler tracks on this album. Everything is masterful and just flows. Dark is one of my faves and it is somewhat reminiscent of I Hate U. Prince was very forward thinking incorporating the electronic sound into Loose . Let It Go is jam which breaks away from the overall dark and erotic tone. My everything track is the Universal Love remix of Space. I have repeated millions of times. It was like the Holy Grail when I bought that remix. After seeing this vid, I will likely play it this afternoon. Appreciate the history and your content.
This seems to be one of his most shuffled around albums that I am aware of. I’m probably wrong but I know there were a lot of different proposals. The track list for this album and the sequencing is so biographically meaningful and makes so much sense. It is very dark and heavy with Papa right in the middle. But by the end of the album it is about letting go (in more ways than one.). It is a very overlooked album because Prince wanted it that way so WB wouldn’t benefit monetarily. But this is no throw-away album even if that is what he wanted people to believe..
I was obsessed with is album my senior year of high school. Highly underrated.
There are at least 2 unreleased versions of the song 'Space' - the Madhouse version and the Glam Slam Ulysses version (which is probably a different mix or at least a different edit containing additional vocals by Prince not heard in any other released version).
Also despite the fact that you're probably correct that '18 & Over' is a 'Come' remix, Prince (at the time of the 'Crystal Ball' compilation's release) posted that it wasn't a remix at all. I seem to recall it being posted in the news section on the L41A website, but it could've been in an interview around that time. Memory is fading a bit on this.
Thanks for the video.
I love this series. Thank you for doing them.
Great Facts Casey,I’ve just got this album on vinyl 4 my collection.Papa is my fave track,many thanks.
Thank you for posting this. I kept telling people The Most Beautiful Girl in the World was written before he was w/Mayte.
Thank you again. This album was and still is great. Letitgo my fav.
One of my favorite Prince albums!! It didn't get the credit that it deserved. Pheromone is probably my favorite song on the cd, followed closely by Loose and Race. Greatly enjoy this series! I look forward to your next video.
Recently discovered ur channel AND I FREKN LOVE IT....
Fantastic album. Thanks for the work.
The first Prince album I bought. Love the ´Come´ version from the Beautiful Experience, but the album version is wonderful too. All those magnificente horns and that groove, and it ends with a great falsetto by P...
Ultra curious about ´Solo´ with Michael and Sonny, my fave bandmembers ever.
Hello VR💜!
My most favorite track from this album is Letitgo. I just love the smooth kickback laid vibe that the Purple Yoda creates on this jam of all jamms.
Wonderful job again 💜VR💜 on covering and unlocking those deep secrets that most hardcore Prince “lovers of his music”...**we don’t use the word “FAN” anymore, the late Purple One never liked that word** as he has stated in many of his interviews..”the word FAN is short for “FANATIC”, and we shouldn’t be a FANatic over on or about anything accept our Lord and Savior Jehovah/Jesus”.
I have the Prince “Come” project in many different formats:
CD
Cassette
&
Double vinyl album
I also love that b-side song “The Pope” which I believe was recorded around the same time Prince worked on most of the tracks for the “Come” lp. It officially appeared on Prince/The Hits 1, 2 & B-Sides. Can’t wait for your next “The Facts You Didn’t Know” video👍🏽💜💜‼️
Great video! A couple of my favorite songs (not just from this album) are Letitgo and Dark. This was a solid album that remains underrated.
Ur knowledge is amazing!!! Thank u!!
I always love to listen and learn these very interesting facts about the music that Prince released or did not release. I was hoping that you might give us some facts and information about the group madhouse releases. Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work
I thought Solo, really showed Prince vocal range. I used that song to recruit new fans. Most people really didn’t appreciate his voice.
I really like "the facts u didn't know" videos. Thank u!
This project still slaps till this very day! In fact, some of his best work was during this period!
A very interesting album! Besides Madhouse albums (where the tracks are titled as numbers), this was the first Prince album where all the song titles are single words (yes, including Letitgo). It would happen again in later albums: Xpectation, N.E.W.S. Cool video! Thanks Casey!
Come is a fantastic album and very underrated, so many great songs on this album. RIP Prince
Gold experience is next! Yasss I've been waiting for that one.
I've come to appreciate Come a lot more over the years. After the sprawling Love Symbol album, it seemed a bit slight but quantity isn't everything. Prince was definitely entering another new phase.
I think that the title track is too long and the lyrics are very been there before but the horn arrangement is awesome.
My favorite tracks are Dark, Pheromone, Race and Papa.
I'm curious to hear the unreleased tracks that you mention. We'll be discovering more and more of his music for a long time to come.
What's also interesting is the
mock funeral in the booklet complete with a cardboard cutout of Prince from the 1999 era.
This is my favorite album!♥
Love all songs I can't choose! ♥
Come is one of my FAV lps! Title track, Come, and Space are my top picks! 💜
Letitgo is my favorite song on this album 👏🏽very relatable
This album is sick. I love it. Favorite track is probably Solo. A very close second is the title track.
Interesting 🤔 love your channel
Cool Facts. LOVE this track. So many of his songs were underrated! Power Fantastic is a fave. Can’t believe he’s gone….😢
Favorite Album…well, one of my favorite of Prince!!!
From the first listen Come really got me. Great album.His darkest.Letitgo is my best
Not crazy about the album as a whole, but Loose! is one of my favourite Prince songs of all time. After listening to the album in a record store when I was still a student for the 10 or 15 minutes you were allowed to listen to it, I went home, thought about it for a couple of days and bought it.
This album is pure hedonism. I 💜 it!
Come, Dark, Let it Go, Space and Pheromone R my favourites!
One of my favorite Prince songs is on this album. Space. Especially the Universal Love Mix version.
Bruh Space is Beautiful!!!!! That song and let it go are my top 2 favorites from this album
"Come" and "Papa"
First comment!! Love your facts video
This is one of prince best albums in the mid 90,s besides Emancipation
in addition to it's brilliant composition with all those ingenious tasty funky jazzy instrumentals, come is an absolute masterpiece and gets my vote as the funkiest song of all time!
This is definitely the one I knew the least about. Learned a bunch from this vid.
Come is my fav trak, i luv the flow and crescendo of if.. i also like the 1st 4 tracks in order.. its just a nice groove..
I love the Whole album !💜💜💜
man.... i would seriously love to hear that trio version of Solo.... beautiful track
How can I choose just one. SOLO.. Pheromone..Space.. I cant choose!
Letitgo my favorite. Love this album. Back in the day when the internet didn’t screw up your anticipation for albums. Still remember bike riding listening to the radio then letitgo came on then I damn near almost fell off my bike. Great song!
this is such a siccccc series
Come with a excellent album pheromone space let it go and loose was excellent songs I really miss Prince my favorite artist
Love this album. Fabulous
Love VR even the outros!
Papa is an amazing track. So dark and melodic. My hands-down favorite on the Come album (which is a very underrated album, IMO).
I love this kind of stuff...
the title track is a fucking masterpiece
Very interesting album, a little dark at times. “Solo” is the only song I usually skip.
A great Album with it's own personality
One of my favorite albums...Ijs.
Loved it then, loving it now.....,"they can't funk with us".... still flying with "P"....💜✝️💜🎷💥👁️♀️♐🌠
I loved this album and I think it was one of his best ❤.
I love this album.. One of his best.
Great video.
Question: what about Prince - The Hits/B-Side?
My favorite album!!!!!!💜💜💜💜
Just subscribed...
COME CLOSER 😉😏 WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ❤️❤️ IT HE ALWAYS DESIRABLE LOVE THAT MAN HE CAN DO kNOW WRONG 😉 RIP 🙏🙏 PRINCE LOL ❤️😂
Great video about a great and like you say underrated album. You mentioned the hip hop remixes of Letitgo. Do you know if these remixes were commissionned by Warner or if the producers were chosen by Prince? QDIII & J-Swift are interesting choices I must say. If Prince chose them like he chose Shock G, this would confirm he was more a fan of west coast producers than NYC? (Even though he liked some east coast artists like Gang Starr)
Space is my favorite song from this album. Peace from Virginia Beach
Space (and the B side remix "universal love") are some of the best prince songs of all time
Definitely one of the most underrated albums by prodigioso Prince.
Amazing album
