DOWNLOAD: Unknown Mortal Orchestra – How Can U Luv Me
It’s a classic Prince move to downplay a song’s seriousness by using half-words to spell out the title (“I Would Die 4 U,” “Nothing Compares 2 U,” “Take Me With U,” etc.), so the spelling of this track by the fairly mysterious Unknown Mortal Orchestra (their relative anonymity is evidenced in the above photo) should offer you a preliminary cue of what’s really going on here. They recently signed to Fat Possum, who will release their debut in June. Of course, the Prince influence extends beyond spelling. “How Can U Luv Me” is a gem of vintage R&B, sung in a sleazy falsetto with a production that seems to materialize straight out of a cloud of pot smoke, recalling not only the early bedroom recordings of the aforementioned, but also his predecessor George Clinton. There is also a bass solo.
