4 those who haven't seen it, Prince mentions both projects on the Tavis interview and says that he plans 2 release this independently the same way he released Lotusflow3r.

I'm just astonished that there's no thread about this it'd b soooo cool if both albums materialized!!!

Hey, I said the same in the sticky thread. This was the most interesting thing in the interview for me. I love Anita Baker, and working with Prince? I hope so! And "jazz stuff" with Renato, Rhonda and John Blackwell?... Bring that on too!

He says (referring to the Target distribution deal): I hope to do more deals like this with artists like Anita Baker and John Blackwell, Rhonda and Renato, we're trying to work on some jazz things right now ... but, um, time will tell.

Yeah this would be fantastic! His body language was a bit strange when he said it... but I'm hoping we'll see this material on Lotusflow3r.com!

Too much to wish for?

I took that at it's most optimistic to mean that he wanted to put out a record with Anita like Bria's, as opposed to just helping her get a deal with Target.

Prince has done album 4 Mavis, Chaka & Larry. He offered full albums 2 Miles & Patti. It's obvious that he meant that he intends 2 record something with Anita, & she's b a fool 2 say "no" IMO

BTW another album with Chaka would b DA BOMB!!!
