Eh, this is alright. For some reason I thought of Janet's 80s (dance) stuff when I heard this but that's probably just me LOL.

After I heard him perform "Fury" on SNL, this was a bit of a letdown.

from Billboard:
PRINCE
Single Title: Black Sweat
Producer(s): Prince
Writer(s): Prince
Publisher(s): not listed
Genre: R&B
Label/Catalog Number: Universal (CD promo)
Source: Billboard Magazine
Originally Reviewed: February 18, 2006
Prince's "Te Amo Corazon," the first release from his imminent Universal debut, "3121," was a pleasant melodic ballad that restored faith on the charts in Spain, Canada, Norway, Italy and elsewhere. Follow-up "Black Sweat," however, is sure to stall whatever momentum Prince may have regained; one can imagine that Universal and hopeful fans must be gritting their collective teeth. This song sounds like a reluctant B-side, recorded late one night when inspiration was running low. Prince squawks, chants the chorus ("Working up a black sweat") and speaks the verses in a monotone. As much as we continue to hope for a real Prince comeback to help inspire an increasingly stagnant R&B scene, "Black Sweat" is disappointing, if not irritating. —Chuck Taylor

The song is alright.

I like the beat, but the vocals, not so much.

I tend to agree with Chuck Taylor's review, but not this time. IMO, "Black Sweat" is Prince's best single released during the new millenium.

That square-wave/whistle sounding synth sound is a little irritating to me. It's just too promiment and mixed too loud for me.
And someone else mentioned Janet in this thread... I thought of Janet for some reason too when I heard this...
