3121 PRESS CONFERENCE REPORT / PICTURES!!

Hi Prince!!

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Prince, who famously scrawled "slave" on his face during a dispute with his record company in the mid-1990s, said Tuesday he received everything he wanted in his latest deal with Universal Records.


"I got a chance to structure an agreement the way I saw fit instead of the other way around," Prince said during a news conference to promote a video for his new single,"Te Amo Corazon."

The 47-year-old superstar has signed a one-album deal with Universal to release his upcoming album, "3121," early next year.

Prince declined to give financial details of the agreement, but said it was similar to the joint venture he struck with Columbia Records in 2003. In that deal, the label manufactured and distributed his 2004 hit album "Musicology," for NPG Records, Prince's label.

Asked why he would sign on with the biggest record company in the world given his past clashes with major labels, Prince said, "I don't consider Universal a slave ship. I did my own agreement ... I got exactly what I wanted."

The singer had some advice for new artists. He challenged them to read the fine print on their record contracts.

On Tuesday, VH1 and its affiliated networks, including Tempo and VH1 Soul, premiered "Te Amo Corazon," directed by Salma Hayek.

VH1 will also make the song available on its Vspot broadband channel and VH1 Mobile.

Prince said the sultry ballad is not indicative of what the album sounds like. He also said a tour was in the works but declined to give details.

man, some of you guys are harsh.

i think he looks really good. healthy. and any eye baggage he's got is pretty minimal compared to lots of other pushin-50 year olds.

but i couldn't help but think - after reading some of the comments here and on other threads remarking on if he's maybe gained some weight, if he has maybe THAT'S the reason for the flowing tunic type look he seems to be favoring at the moment. j/k

how come we weren't invited? http://www.dailyceleb.com...t&eid=3760

The Man is 47 and he looks Great. He is NOT TRYING to be 21 again ya know. He Is Content in getting older is what I have learned and ya know listen to his lyrics about getting old. But really he has some Health Prob;ems with the hip so what can he really do ? I'm Happy with him over the years. I don't care. Sexually.what makes Young guys think they are Better? They really aren't. Older men KNOW more and have TECHNIQUE. Young guys too Quick...
