Sorry, I don't agree.

Prince has developed, and continues 2 develop. It's one of the most unique things about Prince and his music. Not only has there never been anyone as prolific, but most other musical artists succumb 2 "repeating themselves" and reach a point where they don't progress, and they do these things fairly quickly.

'Lotusflow3r' shows a well-developed musician/composer, still willing 2 take chances, and also shows a hunger. This album could stand up 2 any Prince album, if listened 2 with a fresh perspective.

Musically, there's plenty of new directions on 'Lotusflow3r'. He's intentionally channeling Hendrix and the Band of Gypsies/Experience, while clearly remaining Prince. In "77 Beverly Park", he uses melodies he's NEVER used before, and effectively, and well "executed".

This dude wants Prince to call him so bad it's ridiculous. Next time just type "I want to work with Prince". This, I suspect, is the same type of ass-kissing that Prince hears on a regular basis from Blackwell, Rhonda, and others. No wonder he can't understand why so much of the base has given up on him.

i remember an interview with ?uestlove saying that he would love 2 produce Prince. he's a big fan and has produced some great acts. new (D'angelo, Badu, Common (which he had a great little Prince inspired snippet)) and old (Al Green). i think he would bring out some new sounds and still be respectful and faithful 2 P's style.

I agree that Prince needs some new creative influences that are willing to push him beyond his comfort zones.

Lotusflow3r and MPLSound as well as Elixer, like much of Prince's recent output evidences someone who is at the top of his game in terms of technique and craft. His compositions are musically much more complex these days than they used to be.

But complex & perfect technique is not necessarily interesting.

The latest 3pack cd is a good listen. A pleasant set with a lot of musical gems.

But it doesn't linger in my mind... it doesn't call me back... I can appreciate it intellectually, but it's not emotionally resonating.

i read somewhere that prince did so much studio records on his own. He is so used to doing it all he probably feel s like he dont need nobody, but sub-conciously he knows he should have band members. but, again he knows he aint easy enough to get along with. ... poor honey. comfort

"You need someone to tell you, 'That drum sound is rubbish,' " says Tennant, "or, 'That's a good idea, but you're going at it for too long and it's getting quite boring.' "


Wendy recently said in a Girl Bros interview that if Prince asked her to produce an album for him, she'd do it in a "NYC minute". Lisa said she would add more acoustic and raw things to the album (which reminded me of things like "Sometimes It Snows in April").

Someone should have been telling Prince "that drum sound is rubbish" about 10 years ago when NPS came out and Kirk J. was given WAY too much power over pushing buttons.

Hell, I'd love to hear Robert "Mutt" Lange, Bob Rock, Rick Rubin, etc produce a few rock tracks for him. THAT would be a great rock album. (Prime example...instead of him covering Shania's song, Mutt should have produced a duet between the two of them, how fucking excellent that would have been back then.)

I think Prince thinks a list of producers on his record would make HIM look cheap and invalid to the public. "Oh he can't handle it anymore, so he needed others to come in and help him." BS. He believes his own celebrity about "you're brilliant". Yes, Prince can do everything in the studio, but does he HAVE to? LETITGO.


But selling albums throught Target doesn't already make him look cheap and invalid? wink
