He opens his computer and plays a groove. Then this heavy synth hits and my 2 friends and I go simultaneously "oh shit!", He heard us and laughed. It was futuristic and so so good. Last night I heard Janelle Monáe’s new song. As soon as the synth came in, I went "oh shit! That’s it!". He gave that to her. "'' This post suggests that [[Prince]] was involved in "Make Me Feel" which indeed sounds like a song he could have written (it also borrows a guitar part from [[Kiss]] and similar screams). But the characteristic synth sound that is found on this song was actually already present on the original version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janelle_Mon%C3%A1e Janelle Monáe]’song [[Q.U.E.E.N.]] (featuring [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erykah_Badu Erykah Badu]) and its remix made by [[Prince]] and [[Joshua Welton]]. "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Me_Feel_(Janelle_Mon%C3%A1e_song) Make Me Feel]" was composed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janelle_Mon%C3%A1e Janelle Monáe], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Michaels Julia Michaels], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattman_%26_Robin Mattias Larsson], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattman_%26_Robin Robin Fredriksson] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Tranter Justin Tranter]. Although Monáe has stated that "''Prince actually was working on the album with [her] before he passed on to another frequency, and helped [her] come up with sounds"'', it is still unknown if his ideas or instrumental contributions, if any, were kept for her album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Computer Dirty Computer]. To this day, no information confirms that [[Prince]] was involved in "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Me_Feel_(Janelle_Mon%C3%A1e_song) Make Me Feel]". Beside [[Givin Em What They Love]], the only other known song with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janelle_Mon%C3%A1e Janelle Monáe] to feature a [[Prince]] contribution is [[Q.U.E.E.N.]]. |
