In the words of sexxxydancer :

That's hot.

Took me a few mins to notice the chair he's leaning on.

Regardless,

Does this look odd... Of "corset" does!


Sorry... I'm a little punchy.

CandaceS said:

While I was sitting here drooling over this pic...no my husband didn't...peek over my shoulder and say, "Hmph, Prince better give that thing back to Madonna?" then walked away laughing!

That's alright though cuz he'll be singing "On the Couch" before day break!

oh well so much for reaching the masses...Prince just doesn't know how to get out of his own way. That picture is not going to draw the masses to him and he so desperately wants that

He looks like a bitch...its not even bad ass rock star...its just...I'm a girl come fuck me...which is a turn off. Its too bad and in nutshell explains how a guy that performs like he did at the Super Bowl and at the ALMA awards gets love so begrudingly. The shirt is tight...the pose and corsett well....hate it

Dude would have been better off in a suit and just holding his guitar or better yet with the twins drapped over him

Maybe the Corset is to hold his hip in place!!!

Honestly, this isn't bad, the execution is too everyday. It looks like he's in a room with 3121 drapes behind him. If the numbers appeared to be more like binary numbers...and were scattered thru the space...some in front of him etc...(like he were in the midst of them) then it would have transported the concept into the sci-fi realm and that could have been cool.

I just hope the girdle turns out to be really high waisted pants.

His face has been airbrushed so hard, I don't think they even left any skin.

And the position of the right arm looks like Bob Dole playing with his nipples

I'm sorry, but I have to be completely honest here. That photo makes me want to hide in a cave, so that my friends won't give me crap when they finally see it.

UCantHavaDaMango said:

Yeah, these photos remind me of the NPS cover. I don't mind them, but they seem like retread.

Raze said:

Yes! That's what it reminds me of! I just couldn't put my finger on it. Still, this one threw me for a loop. I'm just not feeling it.

I definitely don't like it as much as the cover picture. And I like the cover picture more with all the swirling shit and without the title than I did the first version we saw.

Of course. Haven't you noticed that in pics where he isn't holding on to something like that walking stick or a hat or something he doesn't seem to know what to do with them and looks uncomfortable.

Imago said:

Hush! Blasphemer!!

All I know, is any pics from this shoot surface, showin his legs...and Prince is wearin fishnets...I'm outta here!!

embarrasing, Prince. Come on. Are you serious? WHY????? Well...it's better than the Lovesexy cover I guess.

I like the whole Matrix thought.

I remember when the first Matrix movie came out, Prince had stated that he liked the idea. Probably because of the philosophical side of it. The whole "The world is not what it seems", "We are being controlled by something evil", "Breaking the chains and taking back control", thing.

It's interesting what different peoples interpretations are of a picture (art, etc).

This new picture looks seductive with Prince using his famous, "Come Hither" look.

Concerning the CD cover, I interpret:

-Earths savior

-An Alien coming to save us

-An artist or blacksmith about to reshape the world

-Something from a comic book or science fiction story.


Regardless, it's Prince through and through.

All i know is if i wanna solve cryptic puzzles yadayada i do a crossword, not analyze a bloomin cd sleeve. I'd rather read where's wally.
All the 'image' stuff is B$.
If U got somethin 2 say, out with it. He's more of a joker than riddler anyway.

Nice

thebunny said:

if prince's ego were a bit smaller the cover could have featured a woman,
in the position prince now takes and her pregnant belly could b the earth
and prince could be behind her, embracing her.

something like that would fit his philosophy a bit better as well imo, as
he's stated several times that woman gives birth to the new generation of
the earth.

i don't care if it's photoshopped to hell, it's so 'come hither' it hurts.

IstenSzek said:

Very creative. The imagery would make a lot of sense. If done right, it would look awesome.

Although, it might be a little too close to home for Prince due to his previous experience of going through the possibility of becoming a father and then losing a child.

I thought it was a 3121 shower curtain.

First full-length album from Prince since transferring back to the Sony label. Includes ten songs total plus the music video for advanced single "Guitar" as CD-EXTRA content (subject to change). Features American-import 3D jacket artwork and deluxe digipak.

THIS PICTURE DOES NOT SCREAM "I'M A GIRL, COME FUCK ME"!!!
It could very well scream, I'm a guy, come fuck me! (LMAO), like guys can't get screwed. Anyways...The masses, back in the day and of recent day, Know who the hell Prince is!

Ya'll act like Prince doesn't exist. With all the years of hits and making public statements through his style and persona. Prince is known all over!

He's always been eccentric and thats nothing new!
Whether he wears a suit or a corset, most of you will never be satisfied!

This picture will not turn ppl away from him, they know all about prince's different style. They know thats what your gonna get when you get into prince.
A unique style and persona, with great music.

Prince is lovely on the new album cover, I'm actually diggin this one more now!

Prince, keep doing your thang, if you ain't worried about it, why should we worry about it, its your music, your record sells, your image and in the end, you will be the one with millions and millions of dollars in a mansion, wearing your high heels and long curly locks.

Not anyone of us. That why most of us found you appealing inthe first place.

We had to be drawn to your image as equally your music to appreciate you as the total package.

Peace

I like it

I lovethe corset, makes me think he is going back to his old super funky self. And let me say it looks GOOD on him. I am defenetly liking this.
