What do you think Prince's next plans will be musically? He mentioned putting out a flute like album (I think) a while back.
I'm hoping that he'll put together some more funky tunes and release it sometime next year - here's hoping.
What do you think Prince will do, what do you hope he does?

forget new material for a while , 2008 is a 10 YEAR anniversary of....Crystal Ball. Or was crystal ball released in 97 or was it 98?? anyways, he should release another outtake set

I heard the same thing about doing something with flutes.
I'd be all for that. I love "Somewhere Here on Earth," "Life can be so nice," "Te Amo Corazon," and "The Dance" because he uses flutes in those.

Based on Planet Earth and this is what I hope he does:
I can see him taking what he did in that album and taking it to the next level. Kinda like what he did with SOTT after Parade.

If he did that, I'd be more than pleased. Because whatever vein of inspiration he used for that album, it worked really well for him and he should go with that.

It is my opinion, but whatever path he chooses, I'll support it if he believes its the right move for him to make. That's pretty much my attitude towards his new material. [heh, but with PE, I was personally hoping for something better than 3121... and you know what, I got my wish ]

Re-release albums "For You", "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy". Now that would be interesting. This won't happen probably but it would be a great idea...

97'

Come out with a rap album featuring tony m

It is the 30th anniversary of For You next year...hmmm...

i heard p wants mess around with bagpipes, flutes & bavarian chanting or the worst kind of modern jazz. I like none of these things... Apologies to bavarians & scots nothing personal. Jazz musicians - you've got no excuse.
i would like 2 c him get demented wild with his guitar - rough & ready stylee. gotta keep the hair nicee & short tho...

Make a cool funky album

Dubsy wants something funky

If F.U.N.K is the direction he;s going in with new music then i'm a happy man

I hope he brings out some songs with ripping guitar. It's been a while. I didn't really hear one solo on PE that made me go "Damn" and then wanna go play. Except the one at the end of Lion of Judah

I hope there will b a Crystal Ball 2

I'm hoping for music like F.U.N.K. with good guitar(but better lyrics)

Personally i dont think we will get a new 'regular' Prince album in 2008.

It will probably be:
- A 21 nights in London DVD
- A Crystal Ball part 2 - kind of thing
- Maybe some 'new' songs to download on 3121.com

Yep think you are right esp about 3121.com

What about the symphony he mentioned in an interview not so long ago? I'm sure he said, some time this year, that he'd like to work on a symphony.
Personally I'd be curious to see him do something classical. I'm sure many here will say 'this is not Prince', but treading into new territories and being experimental is certainly his cup of tea.
Also, I've heard he can play dozens of instruments, but I wonder, does anyone know if he can play the violin? I've never seen him play it [incl. in videos]. Would be interesting... and I think pleasantly unexpected - we are so used to see his fingers on a guitar or on keyboards.

It would be cool to see him drop the twinz and hookup with his real musician friends from the old days and just JAM.

If he drops the Twinz i'll be more then happy to pick the both up.....maybe give em somewhere to stay.....i could look after em pretty good

I'd love it if he released a seriously funky album! I hope he doesn't expand on PE - personally I don't think it's the best album he's ever done (in fact for me personally it's one of his worst)

I was really hoping for a London 21 boxset and DVD but I'm not entirely sure we'll be seeing that, which would be a gigantic shame.

It'd be very interesting to see his 'something with flutes' - not really my bag, but variety is the spice of life...

He'll perform live somewhere & get a lot of positive press, only to shoot himself in the foot again with another idiotic PR move.

Twenty years ago Village Voice held a workshop/forum in Minneapolis. The topic was music as a revolutionary force. Bagpipes were mentioned as a way to gather the forces in Scotland.Prince has great legs, I'd love to see him dancin' with some pipes. With our favorite Spice Girl re-opening the revolutionary ballroom.
Revolutionary Love Force, the funky way to peace and prosperity.

could u imagine, prince, bagpipes, the highland fling in a kilt, sporran & tam shanter..& after a few drams! hell!

jokes aside, i love the sound of bagpipes - my grandad was a scot

Crystal Ball 2! More than likely we will get a lawsuit but CB2 would be F.I.N.E.

lottielooloo1968 said:

I'm a Scot, I'll go for that!

probably more uninspired semi-pop/"feel in the blank" fussed album like rave/musicology/3121/planet earth.
