Download Prince's funky new single "Da Bourgeoisie"

Now Prince has forged ahead with the stripped-down funk sound on a new track available for free via Wetransfer. He tweeted that “Da Bourgeoisie” is the title, and “not Ray Charles, Bearded Lady or anything else prejudicial.” It’s got a thumpy bass line, some scratchy blues guitar riffs, and cracking snare drum. Oh, and Prince’s vocals telling the story of his lady leaving him for another woman, “just another bearded lady at the cabaret.” Awkward comparison to a circus freak show aside, it’s a groovy track, and Prince was sure to let everyone know, “No mammals were harmed during the recording of this track.” Which is either comforting, or a warning to all non-mammals that Prince’s music is so funky, it will do some harm.
