Just a ? -- even though Prince said "Turn Me Loose" was just a stand-alone track with no home, and after hearing portions of "Lotus Flow3r" the past few weeks, do you think "Turn Me Loose" will fit?

I'd like to see "Turn Me Loose" on "Lotus Flow3r," despite it being a JB-inspired joint, it has strong guitar work, and that's what "Lotus Flow3r" is.





I can see "Turn Me Loose" on "Lotus Flow3r". I like that track so much more then "Colonized Mind".

Also, I would not be surprised to see "Feel Better, Feel Good, Feel Wonderful" on "Mplsound".

Just my takes...

Nice piano! But what's up with the huge clock on the floor? I thought he didn't believe in time?



It's a sundial... wink

I do believe the holidays are over! Excited much? You bet. excitedexcitedexcited



Well, MLK is a holiday and that is on the 19th...the 20th is a Tuesday, sounds like a plan to me.


I agree, new releases always come out on Tuesdays, and while looking at his site yesterday it hit me that could be the date. My bet is with Best Buy also.

JANUARY 2009
JANUARY 20/09 hmmmmm.... can't wait and nice article

I sooo agree with you! The more I listen to the studio cut of Turn Me Loose, the more I fall in love with it. It would really benefit the project to have a nice uptempo track like that to balance out the 4 somber rock tracks they played on indie 103.

I remember that track when he asked fans' opinion of it. But I believe it was arranged as "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful"

i don't think prince denies the hendrix influence he just has simply said in the past that "hendrix was good. there will never b another like him and it would b a pity 2 try"
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Also, I believe Prince has said before that he sounds more like Santana, if you listen his guitar.

He singled out a vampy solo in the samba-influenced "Love Like Jazz." "When we do this live, that's going to go on forever," he said with a grin.

"He's like Velcro," she said. "Stuck to the stage."

I like arguments. Somebody saying I'm a terrible guitar player feeds me.

cool

Superb story, superb writing, and a superb mind...from our Prince.

eek
We obviously have different interpretations of the word 'superb'...
When i look up 'superb' in my thesaurus, i don't see words like 'mediocre', 'average', 'generic' or "run of the mill" (in terms of Story and Writing).
Sad how you set the bar so low...

The first thing I thought was he look sick or he just woke up or pissed that he had to wake up for the interview neutral

Prince is thinkin: "U dun woke me up to do this interview and now u gon come ask me this dumb question? and don't touch my shit!"
I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh

Well the the two things that jump in my mind is where did Bria get money to Live in Beverly Park smile ( yeah I know it's none of my business lol )


and for Prince to dismiss the music of his early years to say "it'll move a party that's about it" is his opinion and while Planet earth may be his current state of mind half of it ( my opinion) will not move a party.Perhaps it was about making us think as TRC.It might take some time for me to get Planet Earth as it says art is subjective.

I'm always down for the music for the long hawl... and can't wait for the new music! not to mention new tour to look foward to cool


I was thinking the exact thing about Bria. He has her within walking distance to him. She is just getting started....where is her money coming from...I would imagine Prince. He makes no bones about his admiration as I read between the lines of this interview....they are probaly secretly dating.

Aside from loving the article, I was surprised to read,

"Have you heard Janelle Monae?" he asked. "She is so smart..."

I've been really into this girl and am pleasantly surprised to know he is into her music. I had been thinking for awhile that she is just the kinda of fresh young artist... protege... he really should be trying to work with. I remember her saying in another article that they have spoken. My over active imagination gets peaked over the possibilities between a Monae / Prince joint..

Yeah, that track definitely has a MPLSound vibe to it. Love the chorus of that song.

I have heard him say that, around the time ATWIAD was released, but I can hear things that sound distinctly like Hendrix at times, but with that being said Jimi innovated many techniques that have become common so I guess siting Jimi as an influence goes without saying.
