"The Divine" ~ Yes or No.

We just can't tell whether "The Divine" will be released on either album or not.

I have now heard both that he will and that he won't.

From the USA Today article, where the writer says:

He declines to play The Divine, a song so "mind-blowing" he doubts he'll ever release it. "The minute the harmonies hit, I put it away," he says.


Prince was obviously teasing with this doubting that he'll ever release it.

Sooo....

Who thinks he will release it, and who thinks he won't?

Didn't you say you had the confirmation The Divine was not part of LF ?

I'm very curious about this song. Having said that Prince used to say Call My name was one of bis best ever before its release and it never did it for me. So...

We need a bloody tracklist ! biggrin

whatever man. there's always a teaser like this and it's getting old. he either does release it (which would be nice) or he shouldn't mention it and he doesn't. just stop baiting the fans, Prince.

I've been told both that it will be and that it won't be.

The USA Today guy made it a point 2 mention that Prince wouldn't play it, and that he likely wouldn't release it.

The woman from the LA Times didn't mention it.

BUT... it would be just like Prince 2 either skip the song while playing it 4 the media, or 2 tell her not 2 mention it at all in her article.

Just sayin'... right now, it seems like 50-50.

Just as well if he doesn't release it. It'll probably be slaughtered by the fans anyway because it doesn't sound the way they had envisioned it in their minds. nod

Oh, U mean "any of these titles" as in any of the titles mentioned in both reviews?

U may be saying that U think Prince will change all of the titles 4 the releases.

Well "Crimson & Clover" can't really change its name.

I can't see him changing the title of "Colonized Mind" neither.

Perhaps U R saying that he won't release any of the stuff the reviewers heard.

Well that's another story, but I disagree. Speculation is fine and healthy while we're waiting.

The only way disappointment could happen would be from the material itself.

Right now, 'MPLSound' is more of a mystery than is 'Lotusflow3r'.

Is it really going 2 be funky, trippy, etc.?

Is there something that evokes the "Controversy" vibe or not?

We don't really know until we hear it all.

...and soon, the Org will be alive with the sound of new music...


Lovers, Haters, and Meh-ers will all be posting their hearts out. I just can't wait 4 that.

cool

That's all the odds ever could be. It will either be on the album or not.

True.

Let's hope it will be.

Gotta hear those harmonies.

You know what? I want it to be on the album and I want it to be everything he says it is, so that some of the miserable sods on this site shut up for more than five minutes. I have big expectations of Lotusflower and I hope they're fulfilled.

Bring it on, I need some new music in my life!!!

Obviously it matters if the song sucks or not. Just because Prince likes it doesn't mean shit.

someone named "lotusflow3r" on some other thread...I think the one about bilge...lol made some cry baby comment about pulling the release....neutral
I suspect that poster is just a poser...and they'd better be. If Princey me boy hasn't got a thick skin yet then he prolly never will. I gave him one of these bawl and told him not to forget to kick and scream.... lol sure hope it was a poser. hehehe
"not a fan" falloff yeah...ok

Quite true, we have no idea if it's the same song as the one from 1996
or a new song that just happens to share the same title.
