Can someone tell me a few things about Lotusflow3r?

[Sorry if this should be in the LF section, but I was uncertain whether or nto his music fell under that category]
Sorry, these answers are probably floating around the org, but it would be much easier to have it all here together. I haven't visited the org for quite some time now, and I was really shocked and suprrised when I heard about Lotusflow3r last week. So that brings me to my questions;

Is Chocolate Box going to be a single? (I hope so!)

Will the albums be available standard issue at retailers, or only purchasable through the website?

There are going to be three albums, right? Do we know anything about the individual nature of each CD? For example, will one be strictly instrumental?

Have we been given any rough release dates?

Prince said in an interview that they'd be available on the website and also via a 'bog box retailer'.

Album one is titled Lotus Flow3r, is guitar driven and Colonized Mind on the web site will be on it. There have been 3 other tracks, which have 'leaked'. 4Ever, Crimson & Clover and Wall Of Berlin. All feature lots of guitar and the vibe of this album sounds really good to me. I'm excited for this one.

Album 2 is called MPLSOUND. This one is supposed to have been recorded by Prince last year at Paisley Park. The track Disco Jellyfish on the web site is quite indicative of the vibe, based on what we've heard so far.

Album 3 is a protege album. The female singer is Bria Valente and as I understand it, all the music is composed by Prince.
RIP sad

Why? It's about the music, not the website. confused

Or is this sub-forum purely for the album and the web site? Should MPLSound be discussed here, or in music and more?
