So here I am... me and the new ONA-cd

'Avalanche' on my ears. 'Avalanche' from the official One Nite Alone demo cd. No boot here. This is straight from 'the master'. I received it today. Waiting for eleven days since NPGMC announced it would soon be dropped in my personal mailbox. Since Controversy, on the first day of any offical new Prince-release, I would go the recordshop to buy it instantly. Curious what was prepared for me. Today it was delivered at my house. This is now!
He is one of the few artists who really understood that there are new ways of connecting to your fans. For me it works. Today I have the feeling of Prince directly delivering me a package. Ok, I have paid for it, but to be honest I have almost forgotten about that. I had the same feeling with the TRC download. But this official hardcopy is much more fun.

The package itself: uh... woh! Strange, great, hard to dig now and then, but oh so surprising and also 'deep'. It will grow, much faster then I can now think of.
The man is so free now. TRC is a daring album, no matter wether you like it or not, the recent ONA-live shows are a great example of a highly spiritual man having great fun. What I saw in DC was so alive and emotional AND such a feast. The ONA-cd is a complete other direction. Very intimate. A bit like a 'stripped Truth-album', but: no guitar now, piano rules here.
I enjoy his recent musical journey very much. He is in one of his very creative moods/periods.

So does this mean you are in the United States ??? I hope I didn't read your post incorrectly. Have fun spending your Nite Alone with Prince ...

Well, just wanted to share this.

Art.



Peace and be wild now and then
