Makes sense since he now has Michelle Anthony as his major advisor/team leader/ She was the former Exec VP at Columbia and was primarily responsible for bringing signing him for the Musicology album.



He has a major advisor/team leader? I have never heard of Michelle Anthony or anythign about the two working together...I thought P did things his own way and doesn't need an advisor or MANager.


She is new, He does do it his own way. He has some1 he can trust so he can concentrate more on the music acpect.

Now that we know an album is coming, can we please have some fake tract lists. It's one of my favorite things about a new Price album!

What's wrong with that? Aren't most of his albums consistently about 12 or so tracks maybe add or take away one or two?

The other 4 songs aren't great, but slightly better than "Guitar" I think.

I have always thought that Prince collaborating with Rick Rubin would be a good idea. Musically that is. Businesswise? Uhm... Idunnoknow...

Not as a single .

Damn near killed the SOTT project in 1987.

Many of you forget that many of Prince's projects(albums/singles) are panned at first release then 5/10 years down the line its "the greatest".

Re: The Gold Experence


I agree with you that IIWYG was a poor single choice. should have been Adore, since it was getting airplay anyway.

But TGE did get pretty positive reviews upon its release.

"The singles sucked ."
"No real B-sides."
"Prince quit on the project."

This was a few of the comments made about TGE by the "fans". Just about every Prince album since Come has gotten the critical acclaim.

The "fans" have been harsh in criticism of Prince's recent musical output, which IMO is better than the ATWIAD,Parade period in Prince's career.

Who cares if there's filler. I like Prince's filler more than most other artist's entire catalogue. And I'd rather have the option of being able to hear some filler songs than not having them released at all. If you don't like the whole album, you can simply program your CD/MP3 so that it only plays the songs that you like.
And remember, one man's filler is another man's killer.

Prince has done the '50 odd minutes, 12 songs aimed at the masses' thing twice running now and so I'm hoping for something that goes against that just like 1999, Sign O The Times, Graffiti Bridge, prince, Emancipation, Crystal Ball/The Truth, The Rainbow Children, ONA Live, and NEWS.

None of this speaks to the reception of the album itself, and all I said was that it was positive. All of the other stuff about it is true.

Prince is listed now as one of the artists releasing material on Columbia records (theres no further info, just a link to 3121.com)

But i think its safe to say that Columbia will release the album on CD.

Actually, clicking on 'Prince' there, takes you to www.npgmusicclub.com which now redirects to 3121.com, so I'm guessing that it's the original link that was there back in 2004.

Doesn't mean Columbia aren't releasing the new album, but doesn't prove they are either. And anyhoo, so long as it's released in a format easy for ALL fans to get, I don't care who releases it.
