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 me before he passed on to another frequency, and helped me 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 with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janelle_Mon%C3%A1e Janelle Monáe] song to feature a [[Prince]] contribution are remixes of [[Q.U.E.E.N.]]. |
