VB = Vannessa Bartholomew, that old hag reporter from the Symbol album

Prince has a new single and video

Prince will release a new single and video, "Te Amo Corazon," on Tuesday, with a full album, "3121," due in 2006.

Actress Salma Hayek directed the video, which was shot in Marrakesh, Morocco, and stars Mia Maestro ("The Motorcycle Diaries," "Frida," "Timecode") alongside the Purple One.

VH1 will air "Te Amo Corazon" starting Tuesday along with exclusive interviews with Prince and Hayek. Prince's Web site, NPGMusicClub.com, will also stream the video. A site apparently devoted to the new album, 3121.com, currently features a logo and sole teaser line: "Don't U Wanna Come?"

Prince's latest work will be released on Universal Records, the latest in a string of major labels (including Columbia, Arista and EMI) that have signed one-off deals with the Minneapolis native.

An Australian music Web site reported Thursday that Prince will launch a world tour in mid-2006. His run of 96 shows in 2004 grossed $87.4 million — more than any other act that year and a personal record for Prince.

you love your semantics, don't you?

JoeZeo said:

nope - VB = violet brown, the NPGMC's new moderator and alleged "correspondent" for 3121 parties.

Shorty said:

No he can't. NPGMC will only show the video, not the interviews. These are only shown on VH-1. All the people outside tne US couldn't see these. Well, maybe if someone at housequake records these.

ludwig said:

once they get broadcast, they'll be all over the web. trust that.

ludwig said:

there you go.....thanx Prince, you know where you'd be without Europe.....

Universal communication yesterday:

"The video for "Te Amo Corazon" was directed by the actress Selma Hayek. We will be announcing details of it's premiere/online partner ex U.S. later this week."

NPGMC today:

"U can view Te Amo Corazon in it's entirety on NPGMC on Tuesday, December 13th at 11 a.m. eastern time."

It's "its".

Learn some basic grammar.

(Rant over)

ludwig said:

no he can't what? see the interviews...ok maybe...but YES HE CAN SEE THE VIDEO at the same time as everyone else. wtf?

Will this stuff on the website be for members only?

JoeZeo said:

I don't see it.

JoeZeo said:

I don't either. I wouldn't be suprised if they took it off. The only
thing I see for Prince is the Live in Aladin DVD.

At the NPG page, 12/13 is under the the pic for the release date of the song.

Its 21/31 backwards!!

Hmmmmm

skywalker said:

Actually, we're discussing 'Te Amo video details - from NPGMC'

Rockability said:

He announced this way back in the day...all you have to do is hold it up to the mirror and it says so right there in the eye.

Interesting..I remember her in the Motorcycle Diaries...what a great flick! Ironically, The Holy Girl arrived from Netflix today. It was waiting on me when I got home.

VB is Violet Brown, a new mod on NPGMC, she was introduced a few weeks ago! Pay attention!!


P.S. How ya doin'?

thekidsgirl said:

she looks like his usual pick of the week...

JoeZeo said:

Aha, so I guess THIS is why they gave up their little "jigsaw puzzle" approach on NPGMC and just slapped the completed picture up there...I'm guessing someone on NPGMC prob posted it in the forums...serpan, by any chance??

shockadelica777 said:

And I ask again: what are her directing credentials? Has she directed anything before? If so, I've not heard of it!

booyah said:

That would be awesome! So, is Rambaldi Prince?

I wondered what was all the buzz arund Mia Maestro at those 3121 parties earlier this year. It is interesting to think that JJ Abrams and the ALIAS writers possibly wrote around her schedule so she could work with Prince and Salma Hayek.

CandaceS said:

she directed Frida didnt she? or was she just in it?

I am seeing some patterns. The respect and appreciation that Jorge Drexler showed for Prince at the Oscars served as a source of inspiration. Jorge Drexler wrote a song for this movie and won an Oscar which was presented by Prince. Prince watched the movie "The Motorcycle Diaries,"and he started getting ideas for his next album.

CandaceS said:

Salma Hayek directed a movie called "The Maldonado Miracle" which premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. I don't think it was picked up for theatrical distribution and it has since aired on television.

I think I remember Salma saying during a "Frida" interview that she was desirous of getting behind the camera and making films herself.

"Frida" was directed by Julie Taymor; Salma was one of the producer's that helped get thae film made.

very interesting observation/theory...

Salma Hayek

Following on from Brendan's comments, here's the imdb entry for her different film and TV credentials:

Here's a 'Frida' interview from 2002, where she discusses her directing ambitions:
