Oooh! It'd so better see a release. Even if I don't like it - which I think I will, having a unifying concept and attitude and approach to the whole thing will hopefully make it an album as opposed to just songs he's pulled together and chucked on a disc. This is the kind if info and insight we want and Defoe gets me a little hyped! Comin str8 outta Preston... | |

. Hah. Fleetwood Mac were notorious studio residents, they lived there for aeons and did mountains of coke. Tusk cost one million dollars and was one of the most expensive albums ever at the time -- oh, and it was also the first ever recorded in a digital format. . But of course such facts do not comply to the mythical BS Prince comes up with, so instead he promotes a romantic picture which has got ZILCH to do with reality. . Hendrix? http://www.8notes.com/bio...endrix.asp .
. I mean, I've known this for decades. Dude named one of his albums after the studio he recorded it in (which he had built). .
. Such BS. . I've heard 3rd Eye Girl, and they are no Revolution. And shame of them for thinking they are. . [Edited 1/14/14 14:57pm] © Bart Van Hemelen

"There is a song out called "Fix Ur Life Up", and that is a good indicator of what the rest of the album will be like"...needless 2 say that "This album is a different style and direction from Purple Rain."..pretty obvious... | |

How ridiculous! She is saying positive stuff about the album she is promoting. She should have said 'it's shit, don't buy it'. Does she not read the org or what? | |

She's comparing it to Purple Rain, for fuck's sake.
Considering the known output of 3rd Eye Girl, that is just pathetic. It is crystal clear these girls and P are utterly unaware of how shiteous their output has been so far; you'd think that not managing to sell out a modest club tour (even after halving prices and giving away tickets for free) would have given them a clue, but noooooo. Of course it's because they're so far ahead of the pack, that people just don't understand their brilliance. And then of course they claim that it is up there with Prince's most iconic album. © Bart Van Hemelen

I never saw any if the small club performances although I've listened to a couple, but some people enjoyed the tour: http://www.rollingstone.c...w-20130731 I'll agree with you on one thing, Fix Your Life Up is not good; I will listen to the rest if the album before I pass judgement; still, you can't blame a young woman who has just worked with a legend to be excited about it. | |

If the album sounds like "Fix Ur Life Up" then I guess I'll wait around for the next one. | |

WOW! Some people are so hell bent on bashing ANYTHING P does, it actually affectst the way they READ, or UNDERSTAND what they read.
She wasn't saying the album is as good or sounds like Purple Rain, she was saying, the vibe is guitar heavy like the SONG Purple Rain. Nor was she implying that their approach in the studio mirrored, 100% of the time, the way the referenced bands recorded. Studio perfectionists have "jam sessions" in the studio too. Geesh, backdafucup | |

i'm guessing that one will be on the album too since they did a very nice version of it during some of the 3rd eye girl shows early last year. it sounded a lot more heavy than the snippet prince premiered at the dakota show dj set. i have been having a bit of a feeling that it'll be the next single and it will feature in the "new girl" episode.

I'm not crazy about FixUrLifeUp--but she was talking to an audience that has not necessarily been following what's been going on for the last year. FixUrLifeUp is a 3rdEyeGirl song that was actually released, readily available for people to hear. All the vids and streams and (sshhh) bootlegged shows--we've heard them, we know how the band sounds, we've made our decisions about whether we're interested in what's coming (if it comes). The readers of Uncut, though, probably have only a vague awareness (if any) that 3rdEyeGirl exists, or that Prince has been dropping stuff the last year. I'm guessing the general sound of the album will wind up resembling the various reworked Prince tracks more than it does FixUrLifeUp, but it makes sense that she would mention the actual single rather than all that other stuff.
I agree that the emphasis was on 3rdEyeGirl being more guitar heavy than a lot of Prince (not on saying it's the greatest thing he's ever done), and again, she chose what people would be familiar with. Sure, they're actually playing a lot of other more obscure tracks (and digging into them more)--but she's talking to a non-Prince-based crowd. How helpful would it be for her to say "We're doing a fuzzier, fuller version of a Chaos and Disorder vibe, or we're trying to bring the live "Fury" sound to the studio (or whatever)? It wouldn't help a general audience at all.
I do however like Bart's use of the word "shiteous"--he used it some other time and I thought it was great. I'm an American, so I can't actually force myself to say it correctly, but while I can't use it, I think it's a clever coinage. I'm sure it's not original with Bart, but I like it anyway.
I'm not sure what Fleetwood Mac's drug habits have to do with anything--she's saying the work's growing out of a band playing in the studio (and live, where she claims they do a lot of improvising as well), not a track built piece by piece (of course, much of Prince's greatest output was built just that way--though analog instead of digital). Not that it's a single take or anything--it's not meant to be a lesson in the studio obsessiveness of Buckingham or Hendrix or Prince himself. | |

New album coming!!! It's exciting waiting on the release to hear how Prince explores and plays with classic rock styles. That's a nice new sound for us to hear from him and I know he's gonna turn it out. We've not had a rock-oriented album from him since Chaos and Disorder so I'm real curious how far he'll take it. "Fixurlifeup" is my jam so I am down with getting a full studio album following in the same kind of vibe. . Donna spoke well and did a great job with her interview. By the way, I think her comment regarding Purple Rain was simply meant to use it as an easily understandable point of reference to inform people of what kind of sound to expect from the new album, not to equate or compare 3rdEyeGirl and The Revolution. Therein lies madness. 3EG need only be concerned with marking out their own unique territory.

Chill guys, she isn't comparing the album to PR, just that this album's got guitars up front and centre, which we already knew given the make-up of the band - that's it, she literally says she's not comparing the two in terms of style and content. Sheesh. | |

This album is a different style and direction from Purple Rain. But, in terms of how guitar-heavy it is, if you like Purple Rain, then this album is rockin' And also nowhere in there did she compare them to the Revolution. Reading is fuckin FUNDAMENTAL! | |

Well, I guess I'm one of those lucky ones, who actually loves the heavy guitar of 3EG.
99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

Strangely, I have a good feeling about this. Also, I liked "Fixurlifeup", both musically and lyrically, and I would consider it great had it a real chorus to round it off. [Edited 1/15/14 5:19am] | |
