Colonized Mind is workin' now..

I like it until the verse starts. Then it sounds like a bad Justin Timberlake groove. But, I need to hear the whole thing before I can really have a definite opinion.

"Guitar" on Leno is the greatest performance in the history of rock ' roll

Second Funkiest White Man in America

It sure is nice having adults running our government now

Sounds like 319 a bit too much for my taste.

It gets me less and less excited about the MPLSOUND project really.

I pray LotusFlow3r will have great raw guitar all over.

I really like the song. I can't wait to hear the whole thing.

God, Prince has become SUCH a follower these days. What's up with the damn Auto-tune?? Everybody and their grandmother are using that these day (think T-Pain and MANY others), so what does he do? Because supposedly there's no one like him, he unnecessarily uses what everybody else does. Yeah, OK. Somebody pass me The Dream Factory album, please?

Hi used "auto-tune" IN 3121 Album.....

its a good mix, its really well made from what i hear so far, BUT Prince is too old to sing these songs - its almost embarrassing. He should have just given this to britney spears and then it would become a hit.

he's not too old 2 rock my sox off with his variety box! but actually i admit it did occur 2 me that the heavy breathing/panting & ooohhhhs weren't very convincing..
i wish they'd sounded more raw, but anyway
i love the 'where the drums..'

"rock the sox." LOL. But after that unfortunately lame line, it kept playing and Chocolate Box is sounding pretty good!!!!!... the delivery is conjuring memories of Private Joy.

All This Love? No comment.

I'm diggin "Chocolate Box", it's so catchy. I hope he puts this on one of his albums that is supposed to be released this year.

"All This Love" sounds great as well.


All these previews of these new tracks is making me more anxious for these CDs to drop.

so excited I can't type for shit edit

My give a damn is busted.

For me, this is a definite wait-and-see situation. The snippet doesn't really grab me as a hook (and the lyrics aren't so hot either), but if it goes somewhere interesting, could be good.

"Colonized Mind" is STILL the best track so far.

Dammit that's it! I couldn't figure out why I had a mixed like/dislike reaction on this sample. It does kinda sound like 319 which I was not very fond of.

MPLSound is Rave 2.0
Elixir is Child of the sun 2.0

The only album that has any chance of finding a audience willing to pay for the download is LotusFlow3r. That is very limited as well due to the fact that alot of people are going to have to give Prince a chance that haven't before. But anyone who puts any promoting money or marketing time into MPLSound and Elixir is going to be frustrated there is nothing at all to push these at any interesting angle.

There is no easy way to say this but Prince can't connect with an audience anymore via the record buying public. His proteges are soundclick production sounding examples. If it doesn't look authentic, it won't get any burn.

Prince still doesn't get it. It's not enough to just put together the records you need to connect with the audience and convince them of buying it. If you hesitate in any way, these people will shut the door on you. People have already shut the door on Prince regarding these projects. This reminds me of the bad idea of selling three cd's at once with Larry and CHaka and NPS.
It's looking desperate for Prince to put 3 out at once and to put out a staged protege and try to mask it as "This is a record we wished Sade would make"
It's kind of sad like "Please buy me because Im back" It's not enough Prince.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

Sounds real promising to me.

Just when you thought There Will Never Be Another Like Me was a clunker, he previews what has got to be the most laughable, trend chasing thirty seconds of music imaginable. By god, what a terrible, embarrassing song Box of Chocolates is. And don't tell me how it's 'only thirty seconds,' etc, it's not redeemable after that pathetic opening.

- Pro Tools studio sound (real music by real musicians): Check
- Linn sound to get a Pavlovian reaction from the drooling fams: Check
- Vocal delivery and lyrics that Brooke Hogan would probably take a pass on for being too cliche?: Check

The man is closer to 60 than 30 and he's still singing lyrics like he's 20. Someone needs to tell Prince that he's not Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan. Hell, they've probably even graduated past tripe like this by now.

And what is there to say about the dreck that is All My Love? My god. An easy listening disaster.
