I totally love the remix of R&RLA if this song gets released on his next album it better be this version

Bambi rehearsal is alright, he has performed this song better in the past, but still cool to hear

Laydown extended is really good, should have been the album version

Sam page is alright, don't really like it, if it was a song on Slaugherhouse/Chooclate invasion (what it sounds like) it would be one of my least favorite

"Same Page Different Book" is absolutely one of the worst songs in a decade.

bad production

sad sound

awefull lyrics (c'mon Prince!)

not funky

including a rap ??

poor drum playing

even poorer percussion fill-ins

the breaks are boring and predictable

(what happenend to exciting sound changements and structures in general?)

cheap two-chord structure, like most of P's inventions lately it seems.

(...or is this a demo ?)

'R'nR Love Affair' (the original radio version) is a decent attempt to a normal song with great production sound, but still it's mediocre.

I'm glad though so many people like whatever Prince throws out there. Means everybody's hungry for whatever there is to get our ears on.

Don't get me wrong, the more he get's out of these dusted vaults, the better ! Even if it's plain shit or a boring.

absolutely not impressed. This is the same man who recorded SOTT, Purple Rain, 1999. Everything I have heard on these new tracks is far below the weakest tracks of what he is capable of.

that was at least 26 years ago! give the fuckin bloke a break.

I didn't say I wouldn't buy a new CD based on these releases, that's the thing about a Prince album, most of what I love has never been popular. I will also take Prince's worst compared most anything anyone else releases today. I just love the man's voice and creativity, despite how he seems to be subpar. A new CD tho.... one can always be surprised at the buried gold.....

hope P doesnt get discouraged with all the crap posted on this dumping ground....he's gone for 3 years ...gives more free stuff ...and the fur flies

Personally I find it hard to criticize someone who is as talented as he is. I enjoy listening to music I don't know how (or am not good at all at) to make it. So unless you are a musician I feel it is unfair to judge. But that is just my belief

Can't please everyone.

Besides, it is a freebie!

AH! I am loving all of this! SO Prince is now releasing all of this new music all of a sudden! I JUST can not wait to see what else 2013 has to offer! That Bambi performance was KILLER!

Same Page, But Different Book! AH I LOVE IT!

That is exactly how I felt watching that Bambi video.

One more listen to Bambi and I kept thinking that like Paul McCartney, Prince should play with the living members of Nirvana. How much would Bambi killl with then? Decent version of the song, just needs more experienced and dynamic rock and roll players supporting Prince.

The delusion is strong in this one.

I like how he is using the "Everything you think, is true" line from his cool appearance at the Webby Awards. It seems appropriate somehow.

Actually, I think they're right about one thing. It should happen just as much as the Paul McCartney thing should have happened.

Isn't that a countdown to when some bloggers plan to discuss what Prince might possibly be doing this year?

Not sure yet what 2 do...the times I tried 2 log in so far I got a "Please standby. We're experiencing technical difficulties and we are working to fix the problem." So I fear when it's on there may b technical glitches 2 when there's a lot of live followers...

He's already played together with Dave Grohl, so it's not that far-fetched.

But yeah, stuff like that just shouldn't happen.

Considering that Prince announces most things through or with Dr. Funkenberry, I'd say that's a chat worth hearing.

I just can't get excited about releasing remix versions of bad songs. I want some high quality Dream Factory
