3121 tracks playing at Starbucks So, I got to work early this morning, with a raging headache, and decided to stumble into a nearby Starbucks for some caffeine. Walk in, and they're playing Te Amo Corazon. I always think it's cool when I hear Prince out and about like that, so I was enjoying it, even though it's not my favorite song by a long stretch.
So that ends, and up starts Black Sweat. ![]() Followed by Beautiful, Loved, and Blessed. I haven't been following the 3121 stuff that closely, and I hadn't actually heard the album versions of those last two tracks yet. So, this whole experience struck me as odd for a few reasons. First of all, what has happened to me as a fan if I'm hearing Prince music for the first time at Starbucks? (answer: Rainbow Children happened to me as a fan, but I digress). Second, what has happened to Prince if most or all of an album is appropriate to be played at Starbucks? And third, I liked the songs. ![]() Seattle Org Invasion July 28th-30th ![]() Third Annual MinneVasion Oct 20-22nd ![]() | |

not really--all 3 of those tracks have been out legitimately for months now. if they were playing "get on the boat" or something, then you'd be able to say that. | |

I actually had the same thought when Black Sweat started playing, though. The barista was handing over my coffee when it came on, and I was like, "this album isn't released yet, how the heck do you have it?". He just shrugged his shoulders and got back to his coffee. Clearly, if there was a "collector" there, it wasn't him. But yeah, it turned out that it was just those three tracks.

I could be wrong but I thought I heard that Starbucks was paid by music companies to play and sell their music so maybe this is the promotion. | |

Starbucks will sell albums. Maybe they are planning on selling the album at starbucks. I don't really care to hear from starbucks haters here. It is a good stredgy. Us starbuck user people will be drinking coffee and check out new albums. It might be a wise choice to get a couple of new listeners. And, lets face it, if you are in starbucks, you have a couple of extra dollars in your pocket. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |
