If y'all quite finished shittin' on each other, let's get back to the "album": Two tracks on two different platforms. Rather than promotional singles, could they actually be the first two tracks of the album. Might "Hit N Run" refer to the method by which the whole things released - each track dropped in a separate location? A scattered version of "High", in a way?

I think you may be on to something here.

Stare and HardRockLover to me sound like 2 songs from 2 completely different albums. There might be 2 albums on the horizon, who knows. "Free Urself" and "HITNRUN" ? The first one being more like classic old-school Prince only + horns (Stare, Revelation...?), the 2nd more like AOA with Josh (Hardrocklover, X's Face, 1000 Hugs & Kisses)...

That sounds like something Prince would do and was something I hadn't considered. Because, yeah, whatever happened to "Free Yourself"? That was like 5 weeks ago.

Yes they sound quite different and could be from 2 seperate projects. Was it actually confirmed 'Free Urself' was an album? I remember that cheap looking photo with Free Urself on it but it could just be a song title. . Personally I'd prefer an album of tracks in the vein of HRL and AOA but I could live without X's Face.

Probably on 2 different platforms too. HITNRUN exclusively on iTunes/Apple (Hardrock lover was released as a single there), Free Urself exclusively on Spotify (Stare released as a single there)...

wouldn't Stare need to be downloadable for that to work?

Stare IS downloadable, just not in a legal or official way in which we can pay for it. No?

Let's also add official rumours of a 3rd album: DONNA WATCHING HISTORY: 3RDEYEGIRL'S SOPHMORE RELEASE... http://t.co/hcWFbSLq7h

Donna Watching History would be a great album title!

Just let me buy something. Jesus.

Man, no shit. We've been saying this ever since Prince first left WB.

Hey, Prince. Release the music and we will buy it. Just pay it forward to your increasingly dwindling hardcore fan base and we will give you money. What the fuck is hard about this? Put the stuff we want on a semi-functional website, like the Greatful Dead, Pearl Jam, Radiohead and everyone else with a cult following does. Make it good.

Cash checks. Make money. Wash, rinse, repeat.

"But I can't. This song has a cuss word in it"

I always hope for a great record and promotion that matters to anyone other than fans would be good.
I always know when a Madonna record is coming whether I want to or not. Just sayin'.

i can't even... ugh. this cover is a new low. i don't mean to slag off the artist who made

the artwork, that's just fine, but not for a cd cover and not with that font

i don't care what people say, for me personally such shitty artwork and direction just
says 'i don't really care about this product'.

jeez even just a picture of prince eating a salad would be more exciting as a cover

you know, you can 'exclusive' yourself right out of a market. have fun with that.

thats what angers me about tidal ---- those fckers have no balls or skills or wont rock the boat to renegotiate to get the deals they want from their labels, so they're trying to make fans pay for it.

could this be a Tidal contractual obligation lp??

Could be if the WB whatever CONtract allows for this.

We do not know the WB CONtract CONtents nor do we the Tidal (what's that for a name!?) CONtract CONtents.

So CONtrary to what we would liek we cannot really discern (yet) what direction he is going and why.

CONsumers like us just want to know what collectables to buy in the sorta-near future.

.

Instead we see:

ERROR in DB::fetchSingle() on
Error (Table 'princeorg.databank' doesn't exist) on SELECT pagename FROM databank WHERE pagename='U'
