I agree. I prefer being surprised by an album's content.

As for the song, I've got mixed feelings on what little I've heard. Definitely sounds like it could be taken somewhere interesting though.

Wasn't Chocolate Box the name of one of those old school Prince bootlegs?? Damn I thought the whole song was going 2 be on there, sounds good, don't like the autotune though.

Sounds cool! Can't wait to hear it in full!

Now the "When Doves Cry" mention in the LA times article makes sense.

hmmm....


kind of eh. needs a remix.

based on the sample yuk!, P lite, just praying that the others are somewhere near the old feeling of 'groove' that the classic B-Sides and the early albums so easily achieved.

I'll wait to hear the whole song, but I don't know. It sounds like one of the maligned songs from Disc I of Emancipation. It's already way better than Another Like Me though.

my 1st impressions are that ima liking..seems like a lotta fun & i'm thinking
got the same vibe as the one u wanna c.

Prince Should name his next album MNPLSOUND ..EMANCIPATIONSOUND.....Awful....i hope to see one day Unreleased songs from the 80's released...this will be always better than this!

Based on that clip I'm not really swayed, I must admit. It's more and more going into a plastic direction that I am prone to play once, then file, but I'd like to hear the entire thing.

And why is the new Bria built around Madhouse's Four melody?

Agree on the first part.

That also came to my mind when I listened to it

Diggin the new cuts!!

That short riff on Chocolate Box sounds very similar to the riff from Glam Slam imho

Im loving Chocolate Box

i cant wait!!

the sample of chocolate box sounds great. I love the verses they sound interesting and i love the music in the backround got this really driving but haunting sound. I cant wait to hear the full song. I am really excited about his new albums. His last few have been a bit patchy but i am hoping for solid records. We know he has it in him. He is definatly up for the challenge.

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.

oh dear
oh dear
More plastic than a tupperware party

i like this one more than (there never b) another like me so far , but they're both in the same vein. like a slightly "modernized" version of his old sound . could SO do without the vocal effect. that shit is too annoying . the guitar riff is great though . sounds somewhat promising. give us the albums already!! can't stand, on the other hand, the new bria track . here i come was so good . colonized mind don't work and i had heard that already anyways .

I guess that's the whole point of the project, as it was hinted in the interviews.

He digged the new stuff on LF a LOT (and he was not a fan from the last 3 albums)...he did no talk about MNPLSOUND>This is not a good sign!

Off topic
maybe that's why I thought Chocolate Box sounds like it could have been written for Britney's Blackout album..... (loved Brit Brit's visit to the darkside album)

Back on topic
'Chocolate Box' is a really bouncy and energetic tune, I look forward to hitting the dancefloor and shaking what I got real soon..

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..'

Stop teasing.....and start pleasing

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?

I'm diggin what I've heard so far, especially Chocolate Box. I wanna hear more that's for sure.

I really wish he'd ditch that damn auto tune as an effect.

He could use a real vocoder instead!

Not 2 moved by this one, but it just starts 2 get better as it fades out... the way he's singing that first verse on the fade out is pretty cool, but...

I'll have 2 hear it in full on my home stereo before judging.
