. Gotta love the Org: Prince signs a deal with Kobalt, nothing happens for SIX MONTHS (ghee, I wonder why? Lemme guess: they refused to sink time and money in some third-rate rubbish they knew he wasn't going to promote -- hence Prince trying to peddle the album to other parties by taking an out of the blue promo trip to the UK) and then he signs a deal with WBR (who did NOT agree to release the 3EG record) and poof, WBR is the cause PlecElec didn't get released in late 2013. The fact that you spend so much time and energy on someone you despise so much says a lot more about you than it says about Prince or his music. But hey, if it makes you happy... | |

I wonder now if Hannah isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. She's really throwing around a load of words that don't belong together. Weird, hit after hit, experimental, for the hardcore fans - maybe P up to lovesexy coulda offered all of that but now? Really? I would love to be proved wrong but whilst I'm pleased there's hypothetically a new album ready I fear it won't pull up any trees. That aside, if he releases one, maybe he'll release two or three albums at once. 2021 is going to be big. Comin str8 outta Preston... | |

Your story can't be true, Bart's nagativeity towards Prince predates any web sites and back to the day when the alt.music.prince usenent newsgroup was the place to talk about Prince. | |

I need a GOOD live Prince album. That or a studio album that captures the rawness and sound of Prince's live playing. Think about the difference between the SNL version of "Fury" and what wound up on 3121. I'm not sure why he can't capture that organic, natural and raw quality that he demonstrates live and especially in his aftershows.
.
For that matter, I've never understood why he can't bring the raw organic quality of his aftershows into his regular sets when he's on tour. Other bands change their set list every night. When you see Prince on tour for one date, there's no reason to see another in a different town because you always get The Same Show. | |

That sounds promising. I am Sooooooo tired of "the hits" and the same set lists. | |

You're right. He's gone out of his way quite often to make sure the people who might be interested in his stuff have to jump through hoops to get to it. Most people don;t have the time or the energy.
.
The Musicolgy period was the last time he truly seemed totally accessible and that seemed to work out pretty well for him. Wish he'd go back to that model once in a while.
.
Having said that, I think part of Prince's longevity, aside from his obvious talent and his already cemented legacy, is that through playing these games and by being coy, he's manged to maintain his mystique, which has ALWAYS been central to his schtick, and, in some ways, people's interest in him. He STILL turns heads and gets standing ovations everywhere he shows up. Everyone knows who he is and everywhere he goes he's always the center of attention.
.
In some ways, it's been smart the way he's played it and in others, not so much and it's often been an annoying pain in the ass. The older I get, the less time I have for his bullshit and I am as hardcore as it gets. I have an entire SHELF dedicated to his stuff. Everyone else is alphabetized. It seems a lot of people feel the same way that I do though. He's like the person that just won't dive into the pool when everyone else is saying "jump in! The water's fine" and is already swimming, but largely, I think his approach has served him well. He's 58 and still rich and still famous.
.
I read a critic recently who desribed him as "The World's Most Famous and Popular Underground Artist" and that rung a bell for me. It seemed a rather apt description. I could do with a little more "Musicology", Tonight show, "Mel Gibson, what's shakin, baby!" and a little less "LotusFlower.com" though. | |

Great news. Particularly happy it's intended for hardcore fans. Hardrocklover is one of his most satisfying songs in years. | |

I dont care about anything else on this album aside from 1000's Hugs and Kisses. If Prince is not on vocals for this it will be a freakin tragedy. "You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013 | |

I'm just looking forward to the new album. Don't need videos, don't need remasters. I never carry any of the baggage. It might be average, it might be great. As long as it new. I have the history anytime I want it. Bring me fresh jelly. . | |

Of course it's for the hardcore fans, who else is buying his albums any more?! I'm looking forward to it a lot. I love hardrocklover and while I'm not sold on the idea of rehashing a song from the last album I'll reserve judgement until I've heard it. Has he really not got other new songs to go in its place? Interested to hear a 1,000 hugs and kisses although I have a strange fear that Hannah will sing lead on it. But it can always be replaced with the prince boot if it turns out to be the case. Please no! RIP | |

it was okay back what 25 years ago... I have not heard it in ages...isn't it a duet? Oh well it was a groove... I hope it has evolved. "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

Based on 1000 hugs and kisses being on their, maybe Josh has been given reign on listening to the vault and picking out 'Hit and Runs' based on his ear?? . | |

I like hardrocklover and the STARE snippet, so that's a good sign. As long as it doesn't sound anything like AOA I'm good. I still shudder at how awful that was. | |

. I agree. I think the title implies a soon-to-be release with little notice or fanfare. Maybe download only for now and hard copies later after a distribution deal? No matter what, I'm super excited. He and Josh have good chemistry. "The password is what." | |

It's not news. Believe me. Prince's track record speaks for itself. In that sense, he's entirely predictable. WHEN you have the new CD in your hands, THEN you have the new CD in your hands.

"so many hits" Not a good sign. | |

I won't joke about 'super experimental'. I believe it when I have the CD in my sweaty palms. Probably around Christmas. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

They can rep as much as they want--but you don't see other artists of comparable stature (but equally limited potential to experience an actual "hit" at this time) or their representatives referring to their new product, no matter how good it might be, as containing "hits" (or if you do, you just shake your head sadly). They're promoted in ways that make sense--heck, call 'em "new classics" (if you think they are comparable to the old ones in quality), or "damn good tunes" or "nice ones"--but they aren't gonna be "hits"--and no, a couple of hours or even days near the top of a web retailer's sales list doesn't count. . Of course, I objected when I used to buy an album with a sticker on it that said "containing the hits" followed by the titles of the hit, the failed single, and the two or three others they never actually ever would get around to releasing as singles at all. So maybe I'm just a stickler for accuracy. | |

are you kidding? It may be similar set lists but the songs are played differently... the only time it was the same show was for Purple Rain Tour or the Lovesexy tour that had so many theatrics | |

Judging from thwe articles, I'd say 3EG don't really know much about Prince fane. We don't want hit after hit, we want albums. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. | |

Besides the obvious troll comment from Bart I knew this was coming... Please see all the other threads where you said the exact same thing!!! STFU already about how much you hate AOA! Nobody gives a F!!! [Edited 7/24/15 21:34pm] The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
