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:



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?

~G

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 !

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.

I would not get 2 attached 2 any of these titles if I were U.

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.

?

Idle speculation leads 2 disappointment.
Why not just wait?

Graycap23 said:

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.

Ohh larwd.....U miss the point.
When it is RELEASED, we all we know.

Graycap23 said:

EXACT

Giovanni777 said:

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

3121 said:

True.

Let's hope it will be.

Gotta hear those harmonies.

I just want something. Anything. Sooner rather than later.

Yes, I'm itchy.

Threads like this make me impatient for the new albums!

I believe (and hope) this track will be on LotusFlow3r

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!!!

I hope it's on the new CD but if it's not, I'll live and enjoy what is on the CD.

The Divine ain't new it's from 1996.

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... made some cry baby comment about pulling the release....
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 and told him not to forget to kick and scream.... sure hope it was a poser. hehehe

You're right about that. We'll see what happens soon.

I'll say it again

The Divine aint brand spanking new.

1996

Too good 4 EmancipatioN?

ANYBODY GOT ANY LYRICS FOR THE DIVINE?

Not quite, it was being saved for "The Dawn".
(of course, that got shelved so it sat in the vault)

CNNBREAKINGNEWS said:

No one around here has heard it yet.

BorisFishpaw said:

I suppose he could of revamped it or he could be reffering to a new song with the same name.

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.
