You're the one being racist, KFool. What's wrong with being Japanese? Not a damn thing. What's being discussed (wayyy the fuck over your head) is that any attempts to de-emphasize her Japanese roots is just as racist as trying to make a black artist look more Caucasian to increase sales. Judith is African American *and* Japanese. Not one or the other. And damn is she beautiful! (Oh, and for what it's worth I absolutely love this record.)

Thanks. I love the Japanese in her as well. But this is the blackest I have ever seen her look in a photo. It it is on the cover of the new album, we will know why. I have always thought she was hot and was in shock when she got voted off The Voice. I think that had more to do with her looks though, since I am guessing it was mostly shallow teenage television watchers who do the voting. When you look at her it is hard to put her into a category, which I'm sure is what Prince likes about her too. But this photo is something else........

Thanks. I guess he forgot the Asian half of her. Or it is just more of the same nonsense he posts. And that photo makes her look like a black woman when she is clearly half asian/ half black. But I understand that they will try and market her as some sort of black R&B artist. Nothing against Judith but I can't see anyone lining up for this new album, since most of us already got it for free.

If noone & yourself can't see. That's a VERY RACIST REMARK to make!

What's wrong with her looking like a black woman? That is what she is and that is what she will ALWAYS be considered . Tiger Woods will ALWAYS be considered a BLACK man.

Have you asked her what she considers herself??? I'm sure she is proud of her roots being black, japanese or whatever else may be in her family tree. Talented woman.

is there actually going to de a cd release or is it just download?

There's about 3 dipshits in the whole wide world that actually cares where she's from...and theyr'e all on this thread. Funny that.

Haven't been into the Prince protege thing in years, but I wish her well though. Seems like a nice young lady.

Typical response when someones' CRAZY rantings are disproved by logic and reason. Go back to school, KFOOL. Hey Mods, can we ban this guy? Every single thread he posts on, the original point is overshadowed by KFOOL'S insane ramblings and everyone else's(with the exception of King Sausage for some reason) angry retorts back at him. This guy is just here to troll everyone with his sycophantic love letters to P and eyerolls. Let's start a petition or something.

Interesting that this new photo of her looks a lot less Asian than other photos. Just an interesting observation. Hmmmm.......I wonder why. Also, that screen shot of Prince really shows the 100 tons of make-up he puts on before being filmed. I mean, yeah he looks great.....but that is a shit ton of make-up.

I agree, you can definitely see all the makeup Prince has on. Remember Prince, less is more.

I'll pay for a CD. Hopefully a physical release is planned.

Judith posted a reply to a comment on her Facebook page that a physical release was coming in the next few weeks.

So, on this version the last track is an actual song?

.

It's just Prince playing record company -- remember how Levi was the head of NPG Records, and that was nothing more than an office in PP -- except this time without the backing of a major label that is willing to dump millions into a black hole. So don't get your hopes up about physical formats.

Liv's album received them after the digital release date, as did Andy's. This'll be no different.

Is there a place where we can discuss the music?

New interview where Judith talks about the songwriting process for the album.

Keep in mind she recently signed a publishing deal with Imagem Music, so there's no reason not to believe she's a prolific songwriter.
