prince just really needs to have his own official website again.

oh wait, it's not like 3121 ever had the premiere on new stuff anyway lol

it would be nice though if he'd be more like NIN these days and just
throw us a little album every now and again just out of the blue.

no matter how much he charged for it, it'd be a good thing imo since
he records so much that he won't ever get everything out on commercial
releases. but what the heck do i know, lol.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Still no news? Hey does anyone know who was singing the song that came on before Anita Baker? It sounded like Maxwell but it kept going in and out before finally being replaced by AB...well at least this is what happened to me at work with our crappy connection.

I want to pose a question to you. What if by some chance this "surprise" winds up being a new song from an associated artist of Prince like Shelby J or Bria and it was produced by Prince? Would you be pissed about that or would you be cool with it as long as the song was good? Let me state that I DON'T KNOW what's coming, I'm in Manhattan so I can't say what they are going to do in L.A. lol I just hope that we are all happy with what could come about with this.
[Edited 9/17/08 6:40am]

Well I guess what I was getting in my gut was right. I missed it so I have no idea what it spunded like. lol Now here's another question for you. Would you have rathered have a song off of the 21 Nights CD, which we'll have in a few weeks or a new song that's unreleased that we may never hear again, knowing his rep with associated artists lately?

I'd rather have the 21 Nights but what can I do?
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

LUV4U is a fat assed canadian cunt on a power trip.
I have assembled a crew of malcontents over on prince.org to make her stay there as uncomfortable as it can be…
when you chose to fuck with me luv4u,you chose the wrong person.
I have already managed to get rid of handclapsfingasnaps amongst other power tripping mods over at prince.org and now this big fat canadian jerk is next on the exile list.
nice try luv4u except this time your “holier than thou” attitude has come back to bite you in your big fae loose canadian ass.
again,you will not get away with what you are doing to members at prince.org
I cannot wait for the games to begin…time to turn in your badge fatso,there is a new sherrif in town!

Prince To Release 3 Record Set!
Jon Parales Union Times September 17,2008

the office phone rings at noon yesterday.on the line is Jocelyn Anderson Black.
Ms.Black,as she is known in the industry, is doing promotions for a major record label here in LA.
Her newest client is none other than the purple imp himself,Prince!
Ms. Black informs me that Prince has just completed a brand new 3 record set and surprisingly invites me to come to her office to hear the album in it’s entirety.
There are a couple of conditions.no notes are to be taken,no recorder of any kind will be admitted and no song titles can be revealed in my review…WHEW! I have been reviewing albums since the late 1960’s and have never had demands like this hence i find the offer intriguing.fast foward a few hours later..
I arrive at Ms.Blacks office and am ushered in by 2 security guards who promptly check me for recorders,they find none.
After the “security check” i am offered up refreshments and a comfortable seat next to a hi def stereo system.
I am left alone in this room with the new Prince album(s) and i am stoked!
By the way,when i say album(s),that is precisely what i mean.laying on the desk next to the stereo are 3 plain white record sleeves each containing a record.
The only information listed on the actual vinyl says “Welcome 2 The Dawn”,i notice this slogan as Prince has been using it since the early 80s.
I carefully place record 1 on the turntable and drop the needle.
WOW!
there is an immediate explosion of funk/ rock that sounds like something George Clinton would have concocted circa 1970!
the 1st track lasts barely 2 minutes and mainly serves as an introduction,it is great.
there are 5 other tracks on side one and each have a very Princely feel.there are drum machines going berserk,screaming psychedelic guitars and of course those
falsetto voices all over the place.
Side 2 on the first record comprises only two tracks and sound as if they were recorded back to back with a simple line up of guitar,bass and drums,rock fans will play this side often!
Things take a dramatic turn with the second record and not in a predictable way.
The second record here will surely conjure up comparisons with the purple one’s 1985 album Around The World In A Day.
The 10 tracks on record two are languid,mid- tempo and psychedelic to the point of gibberish…maybe it will grow on me as it does contain some beautiful instrumentation such as mandolin,harpsichord and flutes…alot of flutes!
Now onto the grand finale,record three.
This is where Prince seemingly place’s his crown firmly atop his head and returns to a sound that his die -hard fans have awaited for since 1982.
record 3 contains sparse,minimal electro funk cut from the same cloth as his 1999 album.the entire 3rd record is brilliant and shows what this guy can do when not encumbered with being current or making hits.this stuff is ahead of it’s time all the while sounding familiar,not an easy task for most.
I have been informed that this set will be released on vinyl only and will be sold at retail stores such as Best Buy and Circuit City by years end.
the price $19.99
that’s our Prince,bless his purple heart.

I have no clue what's going on. They said they premiered the new Bria Valente song but I didn't hear anything. I'm hoping that is just a rumor. Did anyone hear this song?

Has anyone else seen the most recent response on the Dr Funkenberry site from Anonymous? eek

I was just leaving work when I saw this and have been travelling back home since. The more I re-read the post from Anonymous the more I am 100% convinced its a fake. In fact I think I have may have even read that text before in a magazine article or unoffical biography. I think it has been dragged up from somewhere from way back when. In fact I am going through some of my stuff trying to find it. Maybe I am just going nuts.

Anyone else think they have seen this somewhere before (in relation to another project?)

That's not true. He did premiere a live version of "I Like It There" from the O2 aftershows on the site and he did premiere a Bria song on their too I believe. With that said, for what came about today, this is where having his own website would really be worthwhile.

Maybe the Dr got to know that the information was coming from a reliable source... In that case that's the REAL "surprise"! Which would be beyond fantastic.

Btw, eek @ those other comments. What happened?

I really enjoyed this song. Bria Valente has a nice voice i was pleasantly suprised when I heard "minneapolis style". You can clearly hear Prince in the production of this music its very refreshing! These anonymous posts and timing of them on Dr Funkenberry, I find myself wondering if this Bria Valente and Prince will release their albums together??
