i am starting to get desparate for some new music or even news of some new music coming....us long time prince music lovers are not used to such a long wait without nothing happening.....i know we are spoiled as far as the amount of music he releases but i have a serious addiction to his music and going cold turkey is not very pleasant at all

keep yourself occupied by immersing yourself in someone else's music.

not the same im afraid....

I agree, i really would LOVE a new album right now!... hey, i'd buy it TWICE!! lol

PRINCE!!... ur fans want a new album!! (nows the time buddy)

Im 31..got in2 Prince when I was 14/15..I can remember in the 80's-90's my brother who used 2 DJ saying how DJ's couldn't keep up with the amount P was releasing...so many releases and a kick ass amount of bootlegs...some stolen, some leaked...all fonky!!

I used 2 go 2 Camden market and i swear...there was a Turkish dude who every week had new Prince stuff...


ahhhhh...those were da dayz o'wild

All i want right now is a new Prince album. i am desperate!!

PRINCE! lol

I agree, it really helps, and there are some good Prince inspired music out there. Here's a few I strongly recommend...

John Legend: Get Lifted (more of Stevie Wonderesque talent, but beautiful. Just let the album play, it will take you places.)

Common: Be (like John Legend, wonderful album to dive into)

Kanye West: Late Registration (released on 08/30, so go and get a copy)

Baby Face: Grown and Sexy (nice to have in the rotation)

Lastly, try to find some extended versions to some of your favorite Prince jams. Currently I'm searching for extended versions and different versions of Computer Blue. A piano version of this song would be the ultimate find, like the one from the movie.

I started listening to "Pet Sounds" the sessions... and the new Gorillaz album... and the original "Superman Soundtrack"...

but of course I keep trying to search out new bootlegs and dvd's of prince. It always fills the gaps!

Prince is featured on the upcoming double cd from P-Funk.

If you can't get into another artist or just need that fix, then do what most can do successfully : pick a part of his career you have not really explored fully in a while and dig. Tell yourself you have picked the right artist for that, because Prince is blessed with one of the biggest catalogs around AND probably has one of the largest number of circulating unreleased songs PLUS lotsa live recordings. He's ideal for the obsessed.

Put on the 1999 album.

get more bowie into your diet.

Anxiety said:

yeah

bowie is great but he aint no prince

bowies ok but no funk, gets boring

one band that are 2nd best to prince are " El Presidente". there albums out october 17th, and they are just the best. theyre inspired by prince, theve had two singles released, try em, they are so good

it's obvious you guys never heard the 'young americans' album. at the very least, it's got more soul and funk on it than anything on 'musicology'. i know that's not sayin' much, but if you're going crazy waiting for a new prince CD, you could do much worse...there's a reason "fame" is on a recent tommy boy anthology of songs that inspired early hip-hop, ya know...just sayin'...

RELEASE SOMETHING, DAMN IT!

Okay, I feel better.

Anxiety said:

yes i have heard young americians...its very good but not his best....i have all bowie's albums

blackbob said:

your precious arcade fire is supposed to be his backing band at a fashion week performance bowie's giving next month, ya know. for what it's worth.

I am also one of those people who can't replace Prince with other music. Sorry. He needs to crank some shit out. Where the hell is he?

all i know is, it's a big ol' world out there, and i'm loving my st. etienne, OUT HUD and decemberists albums way too much right now...ol' boy can take his time and give me something that'll rock my socks as much as what i'm enjoying now.

What is Come 2 My House and Beautiful Strange?

I'm just happy to be a new fan. All his music is new to me, so if he didn't put out this year, that's fine with me

doctamario said:

Come 2 My House is Prince's collaboration with Chaka Khan (released under Chaka's name alone). A damn bloody soul/funk MASTERPIECE! Get it fast!!!
Beautiful Strange is a video once released on Prince's website, which features a wonderfully funky live concert in London from 1998 (with Larry, Doug E. &²Chaka as guests), + a bonus interview & the video of Come On. It was released on VHS only, & 4 quite a short time, but untils P rereleases it on DVD or WMA, it's easy 2 find on p2p's under the name "live at café de paris" (i don't break the rules by saying this, do i?)

did stevie wonders "so what the fuss" get released, cause if it did that sort of counts as a prince release doesent it. (prince played guitar on it)
