STOPTHISTRAIN vs. Hallo Spaceboy - Live


Song:  STOPTHISTRAIN
Album:  PlectrumElectrum
Year:  2014

Another Prince project, 3rdEyeGirl, with Hannah Welton-Ford on vocals.  This is a pleasant mid-tempo pop song with vocals that manage to fit with the pop sounds of the day.  It rolls along at an easy pace and makes me want to listen to more of the album.  Billboard describes this album as "more dessert than side dish" (to the album "Art Official Age" which was released at the same time) and calls out this track as one of the stronger numbers.  It's an apt description

Verdict:  3.5/5 stars

Would I sing it at karaoke?  Not my style.



Song:  Hallo Spaceboy - Live
Album:  A Reality Tour
Year:  2004

A nice noise track and one that I'm sure got the crowd going when performed live.  It's not a track that would be a showstopper or highlight, but sure would rev a concert-goer up in preparation for some off the bigger numbers.  I don't have a lot to say about this one.  Good enough but nothing very special.

Verdict:  3/5 stars

Would I sing it at karaoke?  No

Winner:  STOPTHISTRAIN

Running Score:  Bowie 21, Prince 15
