Double album maybe?

If U listen to "Te amo.." and "black sweat" these too songs are so different, one is a smooth love songs, with real instruments, where as Black sweat is a sexy funk classic, with that famous 90's drum beat. I just can't see how these two songs will work on the same CD, so maybe we have our first double album since "sott"?

Really can't wait till this album drops, the music sounds fantasic from what i have heard so far, lets hope the artwork is as good biggrin

The thought had crossed my mind also. Especially since the promotion started way back in December. About 4 months before the official release. Saw Amazon preorder for 13.98 so I don't think it's a double. Unless, knowing Prince's love of surprises, there was a coupon in the 3121 package (like the chocolate ticket thing) for half off the second CD. A download only Cd.

That would really bolster sales of the first release. Be more legit than handing them out at a concert. Although, leave it to P to break rules and set new ones.

You could say the same thing about "I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore" and
"Undisputed" from Rave, or "Shy" and "Now" from The Gold Experience, but they
were single discs.

How about "Solo" and "Pheromone". Talk about your spectrum.

I think Andykeen might be referring to the Latin flavor and the hip hop flav.
Even more extreme opposites.

You can fit about 80 minutes of music on a CD... Back in the day (i.e. 1999 and Sign O' the Times) that amount of music would have necessitated 2 LPs. So, really, it's totally possible that he could be putting out an album of similar length on a single-disc 13.99 CD.

I'm hoping he doesn't, though. I think one of the things that (to me) made Musicology stronger than most of his 90s CDs is that it was so short and concise.
