      Been listening to Struggle on youtube that someone kindly person put up off the Japanese version. Do we know who the producer was on that one?

        According to this article, it's Paul Epworth. http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/the-spin-doctor-the-man-adele-and-florence-turn-to-when-they-want-a-hit-8474660.html parlance

            It's the best track (not) on the album!

              We all have our differing opinions but after a few listens I consider "Struggle" as the poorest track he has released in some time, I am not afraid to call the very occasional stinker in my view, but this is it! This may be your favourite track and that's the beauty of each and every one of us appreciate his work so much but have our favourites and not so favourites

              Press!!! That's It!! Right There!!! Yeah!!! Should have been a #1 hit!!!

                Just going by the lyrics, looks like a "punk rock" throwback, in a way.

                  Thanks for the good, solid information. As for being my favorite track not on the album, as in bonus track, that would be Turned Out. I am sort of so-so on Struggle but was interested in the particulars. Thanks again!

                      Turned out is as infectious as George Harrison's "Flying Hour" or something else from George's 80's it would have been deserving being on the album proper imho

                        I think it's an absolutely fascinating song. It strikes me as a case of Paul both out-weirding and out-funking Prince -- and showing just how connected some of these brilliant but eccentric geniuses all are.

                          I love this track. Would have loved to see it on the album. It's like McCartney II meets the Fireman. Strange, and outstanding.

                              Easy to name the producer of "Struggle"... the one who drew the short straw.
