New Project Coming Soon?

Sorry if the title excited you... I'm just wondering something and would like some feedback.

So everyone knows our man works at a crazy pace. Do you think Lotusflow3r could be one of those albums that gets hardly any promotion, no tour, less-than-stellar sales, virtually no radio air time, and is seemingly forgotten by Prince himself... but then we're all surpised because 10 months after it's released we're given brand new material, meaning, a new album?

So. In a couple of months do you see the possibility of something new emerging? Could Prince be holed up right now, working on something bigger and better? We all know how he is. He's very choosy. Maybe he loves his latest work, but perhaps it's not inspiring enough for him to make a big deal out of it.

I don't know. Thoughts?

I could read you poetry and then we could make a story of our own.

Well aren't you a big man. How was it misleading? There was a damn question mark!

Shelbey, Prince is very much still involved with Lotusflow3r....it just came out in France in the last few days. Slightly different packaging, a standalone disc of MPLSoUND released as well, with Dance 4 Me as a single with a bunch of remixes.

check out this thread I just made - http://prince.org/msg/7/318576

Having said that, I would bet he has recorded at least an album's worth of fresh material since then. I think by the end of the year we'll hear whisperings of a new project and chances are he'll release something before next summer and then go on a tour. I mean clearly this is speculation on my part but you know he's always up to something.

I always thought that too....I mean why go thru all the trouble creating an other worldly website and think this is all were getting. There are too many possibilities for the site. I have said from day 1, (i know some people are gonna be perturbed with me but here goes)....be patient!!! wink

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

Hey Spanky smile

Not to be rude but do you realise you've said "F You" in two ways in your post?

The avatar is the second - In many parts of the world showing the soles of your feet is the height of rudeness lol

Sorry guys, I know it's off-topic.

On topic: I hope to see another Jazzy project like Expectation but I won't hold my breath.

Who the fuck is Prince?

prince probably compiled 2 new albums by now, not to mention the
amount of new material he's put to tape since lotusflower went 2
the presses.

i was born with the wrong sign, in the wrong house, with the wrong ascendancy

Ya know.. with the Lotus project announcement and MORESO with the preview from that LA radio station thingie came out.. it was IN THE BAG. that LotusFlow3r would be ONE of those P projects that.... just....did it....

But it didn't.. was it overload.. was it
too much wetting the appetite? what did it?
but I STILL have a lil hope for the website, I DO believe SOMETHING will come with patience.

the 'FUNK' cd that was talked about is already out there - he split it up over LF and MPLS...albeit a couple of tracks weren't put on cd...but the only ones I can think of that aren't pressed are PFunk and Turn Me Loose...

Prince has loads of stuff stored away - whether we get to see/hear any of it another story... personally after all the hype for the new site, I can't be bothered anymore....I'll just wait it out and see what happens....if its this year cool, if not, well - i sure as hell won't be paying again if he doesn't deliver something more in the next few months...

it seems strange that Prince is so 'quite' this year....maybe he's taking stock of what he wants to do...who knows, and frankly I'm beyond giving him much more thought....he's got my $$$ - its his turn now

His last four albums were mediocre at best so if he is working on something new, I'm not expecting much except more of the same.

He probably blames Target for the shitty sales of LOTUSFLOW3R. lol

nod I am with you...The albums are great...but the website is a joke. I seriously just wish I got CD at Target and skipped the damn website. I still can't figure out what I spent my $77 on (the t-shirt shredded in the wash after ONE washing!!...and I mean SHREDDED...I had pieces of Prince's head on all my clothes for days).

I thought I had already learned this lesson before but that damn purple kool aid sure has some powerful ingredients.

We're gonna need a bigger boat

I don't know Prince and his way of working enough to answer that Shelbey.
It's seems as if most fans want unreleased previously done tracks, or bootlegs.

Hopefully he's working on some clips, putting together an up close and personal compilation of the best tracks he's done in the last 10-15 years. Something with accoustic guitar, piano and percussion. That would be cool.

Anything is possible. I love PRINCE and support whatever he does as I always have. $$$$$ is tight these days so if I am going to pay up $77.00 don't you think that it should be well worth it?????
Thanks for the understanding. LOTUSFLOWER is a cool idea.....but it needs to expand and broaden it's horizons. PRINCE is my favorite artist and he always will be!!
thank you.....Nicky Tuzio
