I think it's definitely underrated among Prince fans. Several quality tracks on there.

Great album, but I often skip the first two tracks. They don't fit to the more mellow atmosphere of the remaining tracks imo...

Okay, maybe not! Just thought if you're discussing a song maybe that could be a good context to do so. I cannot stop playing this abum this week.

So glad this is up since I think the album came out in 2022. I can’t believe I have never listened to it before now. I had my reasons. His prior protege was Bria Valente and I eagerly went out to buy his 3 CD release, Lotusflow3r,at Target. The CD was not so bad,(I chose my org name and joined the org at that time),but one could not help thinking that all the songs on Bria’s CD would have been better had Prince sang them or had Marva King and Shelby J sing them. Both of those women were in the Prince camp in 2008. To avoid listening to myself bitch in my head about the Super Conductor CD the way I did Lotusflow3r, I avoided Andy Allo’s CD. I now find out a decade later that there are some beautiful songs on there and she was not a bad choice for a protege at all. Have no clue why his collaboration with Andy ended. I hope that she comes on the org to speak about that time in her life and how it effected her music going forward.

She has a life coach business now.

Ah so glad it led you to it! I like her voice. She hinted on a youtube show about dating she likes women and so I think maybe she is gay or bisexual in which case maybe prince didn't like thst? They looked so good together but you are who you are! https://m.youtube.com/wat...LGQerE9zIs

I've wondered how much of what she's teaching was taught to her by Prince. At least some of it had to be, for he was a spiritual mentor as well.

Andy looks STUNNING here. Her teeth & gums are SO healthy and her hair looks GREAT off her face like that, a look I hadnt really liked previously (without the big ponytail).

She seems to prefer women right now but I have felt she is fluid about this or was, at least when she was with Prince.

I wouldn’t doubt this to some extent because I believe every last one of his “protege” girls got more then an earful of his spiritual beliefs. Also, Bria became a Jehovah Witness and it was with Andy that I felt he was beginning to move away from that identity.

I believe it was different than "getting an earful of his spiritual beliefs" (meaning his "religious" beliefs, right?

Yes, that might've happened (esp in the Bria days like you say), but I believe he also mentored these girls spiritually. And had all along. i.e., teaching them boundaries (he did EXCELENTLY at that - just look at them all, the ones he was real close to haven't been around)...

Showing them their worth and teaching them how to protect themaselves - and their art - so they could grow, like he did.

Also, I feel that his spritual growth during the 2010s wasn't so much about a woman, as it was about his simple need to grow. However having his ego/pride splintered by a woman was also a way he grew, as he says in The Breakdown.

I know men who are very spirtually matured like Prince was, who WELCOME this kind of pain, just so they can grow. THAT'S growth.

I ended up downloading this digitally, as CD versions were either scarce or astronomically-priced.

I saw recently on Andy's own website that she is selling CD-Rs of this album. Not sure how legal that is for her to do?
