You lucky guys! I'm dying 2 hear the new tracks, and the tidbits of info and mini-reviews being posted here are taking my anxiousness to a whole new level! LOL

At moments like this, I really, reeeally wish my CC was international!

Well, I like the cover. Grabbing a torrent soon.

The best track is Deliverance...

Umm.......

"Prince co-wrote and co-produced the songs with his mixing and recording engineer from 2004–2009, Ian Boxill. Boxill spent the past year after Prince's passing completing the compositions and arrangements, finishing the production and mixing the songs."

Highly suspicious.

In other words... WTF is this?!??

I'm glad to hear something new. Love it!

Itunes only has the one song available an dthe rst on pre-order. Does that other website have all the other songs available?

Some of these songs sound chopped off and unfinished. I don't know why they would release unfinished songs. Deliverance is fully fledged. I know there's more than this...

Awesome track. Feels good especially after all the ugliness from the release of the warrants. Artistically and spiritually awesome track. I'm glad we all get to hear it. It's a little bit of healing up in hear. Hope it's not taken down and whomever sicked the lawyers should put them back in their pen. It's good and we need it out there. [Edited 4/18/17 22:14pm]

I agree!

This is shady as shit. That video was not prince. This circus just stepped up another level. Glad to have the music, but wow.

Don't know about any video--listening to the audio and that is defintely Prince.

Fuck the family and their lawyers on this one. Like someone said, His folks have been placing his music on spotify against his wishes. They don't give two shits about his 'rights'...and besides 'artists rights' only apply to the artists (not their mooching "families"). I am glad his stuff is on spotify but his music eventually needs to be public domain.

As long as this dude is honest about Prince' s and his contributions and agrees not to exploit the music in disrespectful ways, his estate needs to back off. Regardless of this guy's motives, this song has the right spirit of reverence for Prince-- unlike tacky, disrespectful urns, over-expensive celebrations', yet another WB greatest hits release, support of a badly timed memoir, cryptic statements about knowing Prince was going to die two years ago, and keeping his possible enabler/dealer as a full time employee.

BTW, Prince's singing is worth it in this song. The other dude could have done most of the song, and I would still want to hear it..

Its an end times type of a song but its non-demoninational and universal enough to be relatable. I like the song.

Is information known about the musicians that played on the songs of this EP? The strings on some songs I presume to be Claire Fischer and his rhythm section to be CC Dunham and Joshua Dunham.

The EP has leaked, all songs. This is one time I'd actually advocate downloading the music, just so this asshole doesn't get a dime of money. Because why pay for something you get for free - at least in this case.

Agreed. This track is the best celebration and tribute to Prince so far. Fittingly, it is by the man himself. Fits the closure like nothing else so far.

Couldn't have come on a better day for me...

True, this is different from the PR Deluxe where I would buy that in a heartbeak. Seems like some shady ethics going on even right down to the fake dancing Prince in the video

Sad that this is the best thing that has been released since his passing. Really sad. The man left a vault full of treasures and we got nothing after a full year.

.

Put the blame where it is supposed to be: Prince. He left the mess.

Anyone know where the leaked tracks are? Don't want to give a dime to this slime but would love to hear something new from our dearly departed Princey.
