Anyone heard anything about Black is the New Black?

I would love to see this get a release! The snippets that were shared on instagram sounded pretty cool. For the die hards I think it would be a great treat to hear where Prince's head was at just before he was so cruelly taken from us.

Anybody know anything?

I think Black Is The New Black is more of a Madhouse-esque instrumental jazz-funk side project. Lots of long spacey instrumentals played by a trio.

--I hope the estate puts this on Tidal or does a peer to peer release.

Yeah I'd figured it would be that kind of thing also but the Free Urself single had a similar organic sound and arrangement to what what heard, particularily the 'Free Urself' tune and 'Ruff Enuff'.

i thought "ruff enough" was on it too, possibly? i imagine it to be a project not unlike
3rd Eye Girl's "Plectrum Electrum" with prince part of a band and doing vocals on just
a few tracks with others doing vocals on some tracks and a few instrumentals.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
