Prince Premieres “RNR Affair”: Hear The New Song

Carl Williott | September 18, 2012 9:30 am

Prince unveiled a new song Monday (September 17) on iHeart Radio in Chicago, in advance of his upcoming residency in the city. “RNR Affair” isn’t exactly a rock n’ roll affair, but on the glossy track he does lay in some acoustic guitar and hushed electric work along with the blasts of horns and synths. And you’ll notice those blasts sound like staccato versions of the ones that underpinned the melody of “1999.” This song isn’t nearly as lively, but it nails the “on the road” feel he was going for. And as with anything Prince does, it is flawlessly produced and eminently smooth. Hear the song after the jump.
