Lets go 10 years back.....

Failed to stimulate the mainstream fans, failed to entice new listeners....

We're in the NOW.....

Decision made to release mainstream studio album to the UK paper...Maybe unaware (0r fully aware of the implictions to the major MUSIC labels).....No matter what, this has completley revolutionalised the way we obtain music today - any press is always good press!

As a result, he will now win back the public fan base and introduce his music to a whole new generation. The 'give away' provides a compilation of music that stems back to the true Prince, reaching out to the 80/90's fans and the new fans alike.

In reality, I sit here typing with my partner who was a big Prince fan in the 80/90's but lost his interest in Princes output - but the new album has a WOW status. But I'm sure you will all agree its a great 'SPLASH' for us now.

At the end of the day, this is an unheralded return for someone who has entertained so many for so long and enlisted a whole a new breed.

More fool the major record labels to allow such a talent to be able to walk free....Every success to Prince to his continuing legacy and future music career.

As Prince pioneers the independent road, may all artists take this path and bring us the music we really want to hear - without stealing the artists integrity (OR THEIR ARTISTIC RIGHTS)

Peace
