plus the single is being released on cd on dec20th though no tracklisting confirmed yet. thats on amazon right now. i didn't see that in the first post but thanks for updating it to avoid the clutter!

Durnit! I can't get either of those samples to play. How's it sound?

and a little dispatch from the lord of the obvious (aka ME): if you go to 3121.com and hit your refresh button, you'll see a different color/design on the 3121 logo each time.

So anybody know if the song is completely in Spanish or bilingual (like English verses, Spanish chorus)?

3+1+2+1 = 7...

I'm sure you're a wizard at math and all that shit, but I'm a tad more interested in....

Wait a minute, are you female?

Mmmh, no vh-1 in Germany. I wonder if MTV will show it here.

If you search for Te Amo Corazon at the Apple Music Store, Prince shows up as a matching artist. The song doesn't appear in the browser list, nor does it show up when you click on Prince. But, it does make be believe that they have it ready to drop next week

Don't worry - you'll be able see it online, right?

Cool! Thanks for the info!

The msn clip worked for me using Internet Explorer, but not Mozilla.

i love how his voice is so smooth.

What a lousy 1st single!! I think this guy has totally lost it. Time for me to get off this train

What a crappy 1st single! He definitely will lose fans with this one. I just believe 3121 is going to suck big oranges as well. Just looking at the cover art for the 1st radio single speaks volumes. This is going to more of the same over produced crap that he has become famous for. However, I don't fault the man for moving on with his life and his music. We fans need to face the fact that he's just not interested in being innovative any longer. It's obvious he's far more interested in the money rather than the music. And hell, who can blame him? However, when you have as much raw talent as he does, it's a shame to stop pushing the envelope. I really hope I'm wrong about 3121, but I have 10-15 years of recent history to support my claim.

To Prince I simply say, "thanks for the years past," It was truly a wonderful ride!!

Good now fuck off and listen to something else.
I'm sick of these people already bagging this song and video when all they have seen and heard is about 5 seconds of video and 30 seconds of audio.
Not only that, but predicting the the whole 3121 album will be crap before it's even out
Like most people around here I actually like the snippet i have heard and seen and are looking forward to hearing and seeing the whole thing when it's available.

tpzlamont said:

Well, I agree with you to a certain extent. I am not at all enthused by the snippet of Te Amo Corazon that I just heard. I think it's bland, beyond (in the "less than" vein) mediocre, and a horrid choice as a lead single for the album.

I won't, however, go so far as to say that the whole 3121 album is crap. Let's wait to hear the other tracks and, hopefully, there will be some hot stuff on there.

But again, the snippet was not encouraging at all - not at all - but there might be hope. The Grammys are in early February; by then, there will hopefully be another single spinning on heavy rotation on radio and video just prior to or immediately after the Grammys to stimulate interest in both the new album and the concert. I hope he performs at the Grammys.

I know a some people here have been dissapointend in Prince for years now
and I can understand that.My first impression of the new song...well,I
think it sounds kinda mellow.The same happened with Musicology,it isn't his best
album,we all know that.But is it that bad U would"get off this train"?

Look,I'm listening 2 "Computer Blue"at this moment,the long version and it's just
magnificient,THIS is THE music I love so much.The highlight of Prince's career
was from Dirty Mind/Controversy untill The Hits,period!
I would add The Gold Experience,2 bad it came out between mediocre albums.


If I listen 2 Livesexy or the Parade/Birthday-concert I just can keep my feet still,this didn't happen since TGE.
Does this mean Prince has lost it? No,some people who came on board with TRC
consider this one 2 be one of his best albums.

It's not only Prince who changes,we have changed also.

Let's take a look at some other artists.
Is Devil&Dust from Bruce Springsteen as succesfull as
Human Touch or Born In The USA ?

Where were the 20!million people who bought Dangerous and Bad
when Invincible hit the stores???
Does it mean MJ has lost it? No,he just doesn't sound as he used 2 and the younger people are used of hearing the beats from 50Cent and Eminem.

What I'm trying 2 say here is,we all grew up with some kind of music and
we loved it but we'll never gonna hear it again.
I'm just glad Prince still puts out an album sometimes and I can still enjoy
his music.Ok,it's no Let's go crazy or Housequake but I don't jump
on tables neither anymore...

If he really wanted the big bucks, he should do something
like Confessionns in a Funky club
Creating a big hype,putting some well-known samples through his songs
and dressing like a 20 year ago(wich looks silly even 4 Madonna)

serpan99 said:

i have a feeling he won't even show up.

Should we not expect anything before late tomorrow night, then?

I'm wondering if NPGMC will do anything else during the day tomorrow, and whether Te Amo Corazon is all we will be able to download...

Any Mac folks getting those sample links to work? Arrrgh! Does anybody that has heard it actually like it?

One more day. Guess I can make it.

Short article on nme.com
Nothing new here but it's nice to see them taking notice of Prince.

From the sample...


At 42,000 feet above the sea
Thats where you and I first came 2 B
From the dust of the earth
And the knowledge tree
Te Amo Corazon


niiiiice


smooth ballad and as always P voice is fantastic!

Nice tropical beat and cool piano with a hint of P's guitar

I'm hooked!!
