Where did you hear the deal with Universal Motown would involve new artists? From everything I've heard it's pretty much the same one-off type of deal Prince has inked with EMI, Arista and Columbia in the past. I presume Ta'Mar's Viper Room performance is essentially a label showcase (open to the public) to secure major label promotion and distribution for her project as well.

I really don't think the fact that Vanity recorded her post-Prince solo albums for Motown at one time has ANYTHING to do with what's going on with Universal Motown and Prince now.

I musta slept through the artist development part of the press release. I didn't know he could do this, but RIGHT ON FOR HIM! Maybe he'll have good successes too. Maybe this is a turn in a different direction for my man P.

No!

Berry Gordy seaked out new talent, where prince barely seaks new talent to explote for his own goals musically.
