They actually never gave an actual time that it was supposed to be released today(the 20th), so who knows, maybe sometime later today. Hopefully we'll hear something soon. ::crickets chirping::

children of the sun

Prince does not beLIEve in time. Time is a trick. Maybe Andy has been taught this all important lesson, to EMIT TIME.

It would have been WAY more shocking if this thing had been released on time in a professional way available through all the major retailers instead of being put out there half-assed whenever they deem fit on some crappy website.

She beLIEved in fairy tales and Princes.........

wow, surely not? A guest from the listening party on the 18th mentions the 20th as the release date also.

If it's delayed without the simple courtesey of pre warning uis then it will undo all the good-will / anticipation out there. I pray that this is not another purple fuck up and truly hope that Andy has not picked up his awful habits when it comes to jerking fans around.

Come on andy, speak !

i recall seeing that for all kinds of projects that never came out....

Surely the album is coming out sometime soon, right? It's finished... it's so close to being released...

But I haven't been around for other protege near-misses... has there ever been a project that has gotten this far only to be pulled last minute? (Aside from the Black Album, I guess)

Ok, so some of us are still waiting to see if anything will actually be released on this date, while it's still the 20th (at least it still and 10pm on the East Coast, and 7pm on the West Coast, at the moment, and nothing has been released so far, and nowhere to get info from regarding if the cd will be delayed a day or two. So while looking on the usual social media sites to see if anything has been announced, I ran across this article, which is pretty much saying some of the same things other articles have stated about the release date. This article at least shares a tidbit of what some of the album may sound like as we wait in anticipation of its release (bolded part in last paragraph).

Album Watch: Andy Allo To Become A 'Superconductor'

Andy Allo has, well, grown up. You would too if you were hanging out with Prince, touring with him, eating pancakes with him, and having him produce your new album and all.

It seemed that just yesterday Allo released her debut album, UnFresh back in 2009, proving that she was anything but "unfresh" by way of singles, "DreamLand" and "Hooked". She was like Corinne Bailey Rae's bubblier cousin, even when she was being pensive on a cover of Kanye West's "Lost In The World".

Now Allo is doing the evolution thing as her second album will sport everything that is paisley...Paisley Park that is. Not only is Superconductor being released on the NPG record label, but Prince is executive producing and writing three of the nine tracks present, with long-time NPG members, Maceo Parker and Trombone Shorty making appearances. Lucky lucky girl.

Superconductor (which is pegged at current blog date for a release on September 20th) has been shrouded in secrecy, making this some fine art of inexplicable torture. For awhile only a sixteen-second snippet of track, "People Pleaser" teased and taunted, but recently a live performance cropped up and it's nothing short of a funk feast of plucky bass lines, foot stomps, and some snarling sexy vocals. From the sound of things it seems that Prince has just embellished Allo's usual style letting it still peek through, so Superconductor might not be the typical 'Prince Protege' record we are used to and that is refreshing to note. Though Allo can do bad all by herself as proven on, UnFresh, when you have Prince in your corner, how can you really fail? I am quite looking forward to this.
For more information check out Allo's most recent interview with Afrobella

Andy just posted a message on Facebook...looks like there were technological problems as she said they are working on the site. She did mention that she now has a distributor. She also has some national tv shows in place possibly with her "friends" P and Maceo.

Just checking back...Thanks for that info. I guess the sand in the hour glass must have made it to the bottom by now. So I shall be patient and wait for an announcement of when it will be released. Good night.... again.,--

Good news! This delay has the anticipation to a fever pitch... am really looking 4ward to this project. I like her voice & spirit. She has a positive energy about her that U don't get here...

I'm sure you would reach more positivity in your reactions to your posts if you didn't only ever have two obnoxious things to say... "masterpiece" and ""... perhaps?

That picture looks a lot like the website that went live temporarily. Maybe they are working out the kinks in the order form.

it's great that she at least posted an update but.........i don't get how artists [not just P & associates] can mess up a releaes date.

Surely there has been more than enough time to make it perfect, test it, get the functionality right etc. A high percentage of sales will initially come from purple headz, we know the deal -P peddles his latest muse to a ready made insatiable market whom he really views with little affection. Of course we turn a blind eye because we always want new music and so are willing to part with our hard earned £/$. Therefore to not get the basics of a website sorted well before the advertised release date is a very, very poor effort.

Larry's album was in stores on the 20th instead of the 25th so maybe they traded release dates

No, seriously, this is so silly: every one predicted another side-project fiasco so the least they coulda done woulda been to put the first promo video and album digital downloads (admitting they will be any) online on the announced date, even if there was a delay for the hard copies. OR at least give some explaination on the 20th to explain what the fuck was happening instead of just another typical princey silence.

I hope the album will see the light of day soon, receive proper promo and positive reviews. I really like Andy's first record, I think she deserves this second opus to go well.

I am guessing that Miss Andy is one peeved off lady tonight, with no album or website ready for today, though it is interesting that she now has a distributor. So will she appear on Ellen, The View or Conan with her "friends", at short notice? [Edited 9/21/12 4:11am]

i don't think she seems that bothered about it. The trite twitter comment was an update of sorts but why not make a call on it, be honest and say we have a few technical glitches so the release date will be October 1st. Simple, everyones expecations are managed, I can stop whining! and she will get more sales off the back of the 3 gigs.

Although it would also make sense for her own sales to sell them at the gigs - or is it way too obvious to offer a product to some 60,000+ fans over 3 nights who are caught in the moment !!.

Come on Andy, grow a pair, stand up to P and get it sorted!
