Prince, the "wolf" is coming again. And again. And again.. Where is that new album ?

Sorry for my impatience,

but why hasn't he released the f*cking new album already..?



What is he waiting for, we are waiting, and then still waiting..


It's almost a year since we heard "2013 will be BIG":



And nothing happens, still waiting for the album.

Looks like they are still busy recording:

"In addition to working on tracks for the still-without-a-release-date debut album from 3rdEyeGirl, Plectrum Electrum, fresh rehearsals with Prince's veteran outfit New Power Generation began in earnest"

I don't see why you care since it won't have been recorded between 1978 and 1995 and WB won't be there to make it sound good so if there was a new album you'd be the first one to come here and post a new thread every week to say how you hate it lol

Or maybe that's why you gave-up the weekly "Prince is over and done" thread: because there's no new music to bitch about so you can't wait for the new album to be released and give you something to bitch about? biggrin biggrin biggrin

Haha even I can see there's some truth in the attack from databank. smile

Even Prince's recent albums (since many years), has been rather poor, there's about 2 or 3 and sometimes even more "ok" songs on each album.

That's the reason I haven't givin up as a fan - not yet.

I am looking forward to the album(s), however: the wait is a bit annoying though.

Is he playing a game - or what is he waiting for, release those album(s) for Christ's sake.... question

It sounds like they're not finished yet. Isn't it better to wait until Prince thinks it's done rather than rush it out? Which do you think you'd be happier with?

Great point, and very tough to answer... He's had great albums that were both rushed and "carefully groomed".

Off the top, I think that 'Dirty Mind', 'Controversy', 'Parade', 'Lovesexy', and possibly 'The Rainbow Children' were all sort of rushed releases.

That, of course, still leaves some great albums that weren't rushed, amongst which are '1999', 'Purple Rain', 'Around The World in a Day', 'Sign O' The Times', and 'Lotusflow3r'.

Yup. It's a tough call.

G, I can't believe you think TRC, of all albums, was a rushed affair? If anything, that album was meticulously crafted!

Months and months of recording and still not enough material available to release an album. sad

Somebody should ask Prince if he still believes in a 3rdeyegirl legacy. I don't. neutral

I hope it's worth the wait, if the album sounds like 20ten then I think I'm in need of a long break from Prince's music lol

I believe that 'The Rainbow Children' was recorded, mixed, mastered, and released very quickly. Of course it is meticulously crafted. So is 'Lovesexy', and that was essentially just Prince as well. These two albums were created and released quickly. Both have a thematic flow. Both are meticulously crafted. This is why I said it tough to answer... he has great work on both sides of that fence.

That's nothing new! It's been like that since he started recording in the late 1970s.

As much as I want an official album now, I hope he waits till 2014. It will keep his trend of big events in years ending in 4.
1984 Purple Rain,
1994 first release as 0(+>, (the "I told u so hit", tmbgitw)
2004 musicology album and tour.
2014 ???

It will be the 30th anniversary of purple rain, and and maybe he can coin side that with an incredible album or tour again.

Don't we have a thread like this every other week? At this point it really is senseless to speculate, Prince and other 80s and 90s stars went really off when it comes to reguarly releasing music...

I like this thought. It would be a opportunity to revere his past and celebrate a fresh new album or 2.

As much as i would love to see something proper be released is it selfish for me to express that im kind of already over most of the tracks already released during the past several months ??

No,it's not the same,but this is pretty much how Prince works these days.He releases new songs randomly and makes them available for fans to purchase.Maybe he's bored with doing things the 'normal way' ?

An album is (usually) a cohesive work of art with a beginning, a middle and an end, not just a random collection of tracks. In that sense releasing separate tracks will never recreate the magic of an album 4 me, which is why I've listened to P's albums much more than I've listened to any collection of outtakes. But nonetheless I can appreciate the stuff on a one by one basis, and some of these live and rehearsal things we got on Livestream make nice live EP's.

Prince releases an album of new music and it's recieved as usual on here 50/50. Then the threads starts bashing it to hell and the statements begin about quality control, him being surrounded by yes men and "taking time to make a better CD".

When Prince takes more than 11 months to head into a new album release it's recieved on here with the same 50/50 attitude but then the threads are about him hurrying up and releasing the music, why is it taking so long and maybe he's bored and topics like this thread we're on now.

Doesn't help that there have been album release threads with no concrete info to back them up.

Prince has been playing around with different band lineups/sounds and styles in 2013 and having fun on the road playing with both 3rd Eye Girl and The NPG. Seems like he's taking his time on a new album this time around and not just rushing out something to appease impatient fans.

The OP hasn't enjoyed much of what we've been given in 2013(from his multiple threads on the topic) yet seems sold on the "album" being able to change that(from his multiple threads on the topic) for him. Still it comes across as disingenuous based upon the repeated threads about how everything released past 1995 has pretty much sucked for him.

^And the reason for that is that back in the day, the news of an upcoming Prince LP made you go excited and the LP made you music cloud9 And some of us miss that feeling. Dropping the occasional track on the net just doesn't create the same kind of excitement. It may be a fact of life, a sign of the times they are a-changing, but it makes some of us go sigh

So then why is The Dance clamoring for something your basically saying he'll be disappointed by? And who's issue is that his or Princes?
