Funkenberry reported that Prince's new album was pure funk like Controversy "The Saga Continues." Lotusflower and MPLSound don't meet that description since Lotusflower is guitar driven and MPLSsound is more pop driven. Is that funk album the third CD since the Bria Valente CD really isn't his CD? Thoughts?

That material is NOT this material.....

This CD is just like The Time albums. All Bria seems to have done is lay down the lead vocals. It's his music, words, inspiration, melodies even backup vocals. I'm not saying that this is "his" funk album you heard about, but just some food for thought.

Below is the Funkenberry report that I was referring to.


Prince and John Blackwell (One Funky Drummer) were riding around last Sunday listening to Prince’s new music.

The doors of the Cadillac, named after Miles Davis apparently because of it’s color, were shaking like mad! That’s the first thing you notice about the music is the velocity of it. The other thing that grabbed John right away is:

“The funk from the bass, the synth sound from the keys, and the legendary Prince drum sounds you know and love. Right away, you will make a funky face and would wanna re-title it “Controversy-The Saga Continues” because you hear the flavor of that time in the music. Every track is nonstop funk in yo face!!!!! 3-D Style….Prince’s new music truly gets a big fat cigar.”

i was assuming this was referring to mplsound, but
