Oh, boy. Oh, boy. With every new piece of news surrounding Janelle Monae's The Electric Lady, I think it's impossible for me to get any more excited. And I am always proved wrong. The latest news from Janelle's impossibly funky world is this Soundcloud remix of her Erykah Badu-featuring track "Q.U.E.E.N."

No big deal, right? Remixes are half the reason Soundcloud exists. Except I forgot to tell you THIS REMIX IS BY PRINCE. (I think I actually shouted while writing that.)

 

The track contains signature Prince synth-stabs, a bass wobble straight from "Gett Off" and drums that are perfect reprenstations of The Purple One in his "P*ssy Control" era.

As great as "Q.U.E.E.N." is on it's own, they might have been better off giving this one to Prince in the first place.

Here's the original for comparison purposes:

 

Of course, this only makes me more excited for The Electric Lady which features a bona-fide Prince collaboration, as well as a track with R&B auteur Miguel,

What do you think of the Prince remix of "Q.U.E.E.N."?
